 * Can you post the message here that you get when you try to edit? We need the ip information contained in the message to know what block is preventing you from editing.  Thanks! Syrthiss (talk) 16:00, 18 July 2011 (UTC) Not sure, but it is something like "You can't edit because your IP is the same as Youjustgottrolled's."

P.S. His IP ban has been lifted, so never mind. Anyway, how to remove the 'proxy' status on my Internet connection?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to N00b, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.
 * Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: N00b was changed by JordonOng (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.962956 on 2011-03-01T07:04:22+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 07:04, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Newbie, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please Be Careful
Jordan, I really believe you mean well and want to help make Wikipedia better but, were I you, I'd be more careful about following the rules. If you don't, you're gonna attract attention you really don't want.

I'm not a bot and this isn't spam. Nevertheless, you can delete this notice, too, but it won't make the issue go away. You can't erase the Edit History page, so removing notices and warnings doesn't conceal them. If anything, such actions tend to make others wonder what you're trying to hide.

You appear to have a habit of: 1) Editing without supplying an Edit Summary, 2) Inserting original research or information without proper citations, and 3) Marking edits "Minor" when they are not.

Wikipedia is not a message board, nor is it a forum or a dictionary. It is an encyclopedia and we editors must strive to meet the standards expected of such a work.

You marked your latest edit to Newbie as minor; it is not. You also fail to cite any reliable source for the information you are promulgating as fact. Neither of these is acceptable in an encyclopedia.

I also have doubts as to whether this material meets Wikipedia's Notability standards but I'm probably not the best judge of that.

I'm reverting your mislabeled edit one last time. If you wish to add it back, I strongly suggest you: 1) Supply a meaningful Edit Summary, 2) Include a citation for the material and 3) Do not mark the edit "Minor". If you have questions or other editors have disagreed with you, discussing the issue on the article's Talk page is a good idea.

I will not edit-war with anyone; my goal is editorial excellence and I care very much that WP meets the high standards expected of an encyclopedia. That will only happen if everyone works together and follows the same rules. If you have not read the "How To" guides or the Manual of Style, I recommend you look at them.

Please do try to be careful, though. I'd hate to see this discussion pop up on the Administrator's Noticeboard.

One thing I neglected to mention: This issue has been/is being discussed on the article's Talk page. If you feel strongly about it, that should be your next stop!

&mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 20:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC) How do I insert a reference? I've inserted an external link in newb in the reference tab.--JordonOng (talk) 06:02, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Noob/Newbie
Most of the editors working on the newbie article know that there is a difference between the two terms. however they are commonly confused and there aren't too many reliable sources between the two of them. Noob points to newbie for that reason. If you can find a reliable source (not something user edited like the urban dictionary) then you can add to the newbie article, but I am not sure how much help it will be to have two very similar articles on a thinly referenced topic. If you need any help finding sources or dealing w/ the syntax let me know here or on my talk page. Protonk (talk) 06:16, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * There are reliable sources for the word "newbie", you can see some of them by looking at the reference section of the article. Protonk (talk) 16:05, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Having looked at your editing history, I now think that there may well be good reasons for not unblocking. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Seems like I was too rash on editing articles, so I forgot to use the discussion page first. --JordonOng (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
