Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Wisdom89 (talk) 01:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to Kawasaki KLR650
Your edits to are not allowed. No links to Forums are allowed. They have been revereted.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Daedalus969 (talk) 04:16, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

In response to the message you left on my talk page, please read WP:EL and the history of the Kawasaki KLR650 page. Wikipedia is not a collection of links. Snowfire51 (talk) 01:35, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I looked at the history and noticed that one link in particular for the KLR650 page has been in place almost since the beginning until now. For some reason someone has decided now is the time to remove the link to the most in depth and largest technical information database pertaining to the KLR650, which also happens to be an affiliate of Kawasaki, WHY? The KLR650 page was created 18:22, 13 February 2004, and the original forum and database links were added 00:09, 14 May 2004. At that time the other links and sites that appear on the page did not exist. Wikipedia is an information database, a collection of links on the www connected by links, if all links to it are deleted from the www, it will cease to exist. The same goes for all the other forums on the www. There can be only one reason the links to klr.net forum were deleted and the other forum links were left in place (which still remain in duplicate), and that is because someone here has something to gain by deleting them. If deleting links to promote your own site isn't against the rules here, then you have no rules here. The "no links to forums" and "wikipedia is not a collection of links" rule you keep quoting is a farce and a lie. I suggest you take your own advice and start deleting every link to every website on every wikipedia page if you want to continue quoting this so called rule, or reinstate the links that have always existed on the KLR650 page.Firemedicntx (talk) 20:33, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently everything is black and white to you, "There can be only one reason the links to klr.net forum were deleted and the other forum links were left in place (which still remain in duplicate), and that is because someone here has something to gain by deleting them.", did you ever think that people may have missed those forum links? Did you happen to catch while reading the history that those of us who removed the onslaught of links were not here in the first place, and would therefore have nothing to gain?  I am getting rid of the links you mentioned, as stated by the rules.  As per WP:EL.  Also, in reguards to what you can't seem to understand, Wikipedia is not a collection of links.  If a webpage containing a cited article is deleted, a hard copy of said article could still exist elsewhere, and therefore be put up under a different domain and found again.  The world wide web does not define wikipedia, research by others using hard or soft copies of information by noteable others/publications is what defines Wikipedia.  Wikipedia is not a collection of links.  Wikipedia does not go by truth, but by verifiblity. Daedalus (talk) 09:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
