First advice
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. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Singapore, did not appear to be constructive and has since been reverted. Please note that unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and 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.--Dave1185 (talk) 11:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I have just received a note from Dave1185 accusing me of vandalism. I am offended at this. I made a few very minor edits to the page on Singapore, and which I have explained. In fact, I consider the page on Singapore to be very well written, but in places the English can be improved. It is fair enough to disagree with the changes that someone has made, but to accuse the person of vandalism, without substantiating it is completely out of order.

Another advice
I am not accusing you of vandalism but I will be fair to you by telling you this... You made 7 minor edits in the span of 17 minutes, of which the last 3 were considered as unconstructive edit and if you read my advice to you above, unconstructive edits are considered as vandalism. Just so you'd know, there are times when we are editing a certain article of interest to us when other people fiddle and fidget with that same article at the same time we want to do that edit, how would you feel? And there you go. --Dave1185 (talk) 04:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Firstly, please note this tag here which is placed at the top of the Singapore page. Secondly, please note that the page is now semi-protected so editors such as myself are very cautious of what is being added in or taken out. Thirdly, please try to provide a reason in the edit summary box (instead of labeling it as a minor edit) of what you added or deleted. Thank you. --Dave1185 (talk) 04:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
