Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and are immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 20:16, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi you blanked the portal intro page, maybe by accident. As for the GGOC article, it'd be best to use the article talk page, you seem to be a good faith editor, albeit new. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 20:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Copyright policy
Dear Lblinn, regarding the edits you have made to Girl Guides of Canada, I have removed them, because you copied word-for-word from http://www.girlguides.ca/ and its subpages, http://www.girlguides.ca/default1.asp?id=1214, http://www.girlguides.ca/default1.asp?id=1215, etc. Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy, and for legal reasons, information can not be copied and pasted into articles. Other pages can be used as a source for information, but not as a source for sentences, paragraphs, or sections. The information must be summarized and paraphrased, and then properly cited with reliable sources for verification. These are some of the core pilars of Wikipedia, and I request that you review them all, as they are the foundation of the project. Additionally, according to your Help desk post, where you cite your title of: "Marketing Co-ordinator Marketing & Strategic Alliances Girl Guides of Canada", you should realize that Wikipedia has a conflict of interest guideline that states you should not create or edit articles about yourself, your company, projects you are affiliated with, your family, friends, etc., as you'd likely be unable to do so neutrally. Neutrality is another one of the core policies of Wikipedia. Please take some time to learn about what Wikipedia is, and what it is not prior to continuing, and I would suggest that instead of editing the article directly, you use the article's discussion page to suggest changes, and allow a neutral, non-involved editor to do the editing, to avoid the conflict of interest. Thank you, Ariel  ♥  Gold  20:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Girl Guides of Canada and Mary Pellatt
Hello Lblinn! I'm sorry that your experience of Wikipedia has got off to a bad start. I hope you feel you still want to contribute. I'm sure that there's plenty of improvements you can make to the Girl Guides of Canada page. I'm going to look through the information you tried to contribute and see what I can incorporate into the article. Maybe you'll take another look and try again. Also, I was wondering if you could help with the article on Lady Mary Pellatt. It's missing a lot of information - maybe you have a couple of books within reach of your desk that could help. I'm aware she spent part of her life in a wheelchair, but haven't been able to nail down anything specific. Dates? Reason? Thank you, Kingbird (talk) 05:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
