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, such as those you made to Pulp Fiction, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. duncan 06:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC) OK

how about when i put in a lot of hard work to create a page on jules winnfield and it just gets deleted? I guess that doesn't count.

Stop what?
You left a one word comment, "NOW", on my talk page, under the heading Stop It. Stop what exactly?--duncan 08:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Look before you leap
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

I understand you want to contribute and help Wikipedia. Adding facile comments to articles is not the way to do it. They'll only get reversed and eventually get you blocked. If you have opinions then add comments on the relevant article talk pages, taking care to put them in the correct location, usually the bottom of the page, and sign them with 4 tildes. You'll get the hang of it if you try. Wwwhatsup (talk) 19:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
