Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to November 24. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, please use the sandbox instead, where you are given a certain degree of freedom in what you write. Joyous! | Talk 16:27, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions&#32;to November 24, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember that Wikipedia is a widely used reference tool, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the sandbox instead. Thank you. Joyous! | Talk 16:30, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce jokes into articles, as you did at November 24, you may be blocked from editing. Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia, and contributions of this type are considered vandalism. Joyous! | Talk 16:35, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
