User talk:Howdboy

Welcome
Hello, Howdboy, 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 may be removed if they have not yet been. 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. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or 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:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

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 my talk page. Again, welcome! Dougweller (talk) 16:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

November 2011
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Bosaso, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You changed the population numbers so that they contradicted the sourced numbers. Dougweller (talk) 16:46, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Garoowe. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. The same issue - there was a source and you changed the population numbers so that they still looked as though they were from the source Dougweller (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Garoowe. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop changing the population figures - we have a source which gives a very different figure, and you are also breaking links Dougweller (talk) 17:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Garoowe. — cyberpower ( Talk to Me )( Contributions ) 17:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Lack of response
Please respond to the concerns now expressed by two editors. I don't want to block you, but you can't just change sourced text, ignore warnings, etc without any explanations. You also need to start using what we call an WP:Edit summary to explain your edits. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 17:21, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. T. Canens (talk) 17:35, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
