User talk:Gsbsmith

Welcome
Hello, Gsbsmith, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Calaka (talk) 14:48, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Kish Cypher
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kish Cypher, you may be blocked from editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrEubanks (talk • contribs) 23:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Kish_cypher shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.  ·Add§hore·  T alk T o M e ! 23:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Senator2029  (talk) 23:44, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kish cypher


The article Kish cypher has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * There has been a longstanding issue with the use of this page as a means of promotion for an obscure cryptographic protocol which is almost totally ignored by the cryptographic community. The topic is primary research, fringe research by cryptographic/security standards, and totally dead in terms of citations/potential research. In my opinion, a random collection of papers like this is not notable enough for a page in wikipedia.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.


 * I put your article up for deletion. Feel free to remove the tag from the article, in which case, we'll go through the more painful WP:AfD. Skippydo (talk) 07:54, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
