User talk:Mary C.

Welcome!
 Hi,, Welcome  to Wikipedia!  Welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you enjoy the encyclopaedia and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Help and the FAQ; plus, if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions). There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Also, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. ---

Additional tips
Here are some extra tips to help you get around in Wikipedia:
 * If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
 * You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
 * You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
 * If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
 * If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Language of flowers, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Laurel (plant), Wormwood and Heather (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

On Language of flowers
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia 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.

Hi, Mary C. I have to warn on your last two edits in Language of flowers.

You [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Language_of_flowers&diff=526721269&oldid=526720519 deleted the source attribution]. This is unacceptable, so I pasted a warning message above. Please do not repeat it. Wikipedia needs proper citation; otherwise, it'll be a collection of untrustworthy information. Your edit is likely to have a side effect to induce others to contribute unsourced materials, worsening the situation.

One more error which is not serious is that you [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Language_of_flowers&diff=prev&oldid=526720519 retrieved] the vocabulary table, by almost reverting a former edit, without showing the reason. Agreements among editors is very important in Wikipedia, so do show the rationale in such cases. Please understand Wikipedia is not your private property, so without communication, you can't settle, and probably what you meant will be modified.

It's me who deleted the table [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Language_of_flowers&diff=525286093&oldid=524980909 in this edit], and the reason is written at talk:Language of flowers. Please reply there before you edit again. Thanks. --Ahora (talk) 04:28, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
