This is cool.

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages.

Your recent edits
Hello, Number146890, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, I have some concerns with your recent edits. First of all, there's this edit, which was inappropriate. Putting "it's humorous" in an article is unconstructive, and to be blunt, a little immature. There's also this. Humor is not appropriate for any article, as articles are not kept due to humor. For instance, let's say I created the article kjfhofkghgoihg and its only content was a load of funny jokes, pictures, and riddles. This article would be deleted from Wikipedia per the policy on deleting Wikipedia articles. This applies on a smaller scale to your edit to the Wildlife of Western Sahara article.

Third, we have these edits. Wikipedia is not a social network (such as MySpace), but rather it is an encyclopedia. You could help by building articles, fighting vandalism, performing general maintenance tasks – anything you like! Lastly there are these edits. With regards to the first two edits, the IP made unsourced claims that the school had received bomb threats – it is important that all information in Wikipedia is verified by reliable sources (especially if the claims being made are of bomb threats). Rather than tinkering with the situation, the appropriate action would have been to remove the claims entirely. With regard to the third edit, "stuff" is extremely vague, and is an inappropriate title for a section.

Don't be disheartened; many good editors (including myself) have had rocky starts, and I am confident that you are capable of becoming a fantastic editor. If you would like to ask me any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I am also an adopter in the adoption program, which means I can guide you through Wikipedia editing and help you as you go. Cheers, and I wish you the best of luck with your editing career! -- Dylan 620  (contribs, logs)help us! 15:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In addition, about this edit; (who is an administrator here at Wikipedia) was correct in that Wikipedia is not a chat room, and restoring the section was inappropriate. Even more so was that you referred to FisherQueen as a vandal; that is a strong personal attacks, and it is important to assume good faith toward your fellow editors. All the best,  Dylan  620  (contribs, logs)help us! 15:44, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
