Edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. —  Spike Toronto  22:27, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

October 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not attack other contributors, as you did with this edit to Talk:Donald Leifert. You may wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. KGasso (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC) Well he was violating my rights. He was being inconsiderate.

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:04, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Donald Leifert
Hi Herman. The article, Donald Leifert needs some work especially as relates to verifiable references/citations. Chances are the article may get returned to its stub status. You should try working on it in your own user namespace until such time as it is ready for the main (i.e., article) namespace. If you would like, I can put a copy of it in your own user namespace for you to work on. Would you like me to do that? Thanks! —  Spike Toronto  22:17, 25 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Well some stuff was said to me in person, so how can I source that? Yes. I would like for you to put copy in my namespace.


 * ✅   You can find it here: User:Historyhermann/Donald Leifert. But, before you continue, you need to do the following:
 * Stop editing the version in article/main namespace. It will become out of synch with the one in your user namespace. Focus on the one in your own user namespace.
 * Read the welcome message at the top of this page. You have a lot ot learn still about creating articles on Wikipedia and that welcome message will guide and assist you immeasureably.
 * Be especially sure to read the following
 * WP:Verifiability
 * WP:Reliable sources
 * WP:Citation
 * WP:REFBEGIN
 * WP:Manual of Style (layout)
 * WP:Manual of Style
 * WP:Annotated article
 * These are invaluable to you.
 * Good luck! —  Spike Toronto  03:45, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I put in some sourcing...so...Historyhermann (talk) 03:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Let me know when you have finished, and I’ll look over it for you. But, you still have a lot of problems:
 * You are ignoring WP:MEMORIAL
 * You have WP:COPYVIO issues
 * You still have what is called linkrot in your references. You must fully cite your sources, as I am sure you have been taught in school. If not, then please read WP:CITE and WP:REFBEGIN.
 * You are still using sources that violate WP:RS. If you are unsure if a source satisfies WP:RS, you can ask the experts at WP:RSN. That’s what we’re there for
 * You really should stop editing and start reading, reading Wikipedia’s guidelines and policies in these areas. Good luck! —  Spike Toronto  04:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Donald Leifert constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content. Thank you. —  Spike Toronto  19:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Donald Leifert. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Cmichael (talk) 19:05, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Talk:Donald Leifert. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:06, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for Vandalism, including blanking articles and talk pages. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

I've also removed your AFD nomination from the article Donald Leifert. The nomination was not transcluded in the AFD log, and the debate page itself was malformed. If you believe that the article should be deleted in its entirety, and you wish to renominate, please have a look at WP:AFDHOW2 and follow the instructions there. You can also leave me a message or post helpme on this page for additional assistance. May I suggest, though, that you take some time away from this article to calm down? It's clear that you feel very strongly about the subject; once your block expires, some time looking at other articles may offer a different perspective. Best, UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 20:41, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

I am not connected with historyhermann
Some have alluded that I am connected with historyhermann and that my account is by the same person as historyhermann. I am not the same person as the person that created historyhermann's account. --Hicukujoe (talk) 01:13, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in a pilot study
I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to a short survey. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates only 5 minutes. cooldenny (talk) 07:49, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
