Your edit to Anna Anderson
Hi. Please do not add your personal — and unsourced — rants to an article. Such rants require to be written in a neutral point of view, and require sources, and must be somebody else's already published pov. If you feel that such a rant belongs in the article, please disscuss it on its talkpage, or dissucssion, page. Such addition is considered a violation of wikipedia's policies, including NPOV, verifiability, etc. It should also not be in ALL CAPS. This is not the way to edit an article. If you want to see the rantinfo in the article, please disscuss on its talkpage, and the community might decide to add it, but only if they find a reliable source, or you do, via Internet or books, or other media. Please read WP:ATT and all its associated pages for guidelines. If you want to experiment, please use the SANDBOX. Thank you. -- A stroHurricane00 1 (T+C+U) 22:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I replied to your question at the Help Desk, but just in case you miss it, here it is again.
 * Not everyone knows what you're trying to do, and with the high amount of vandalism we get, sometimes edits intended to help can be identified as vandalism. If you were typing in all caps, I can see how a mistake may have been made. If you are trying to contribute, then you are very welcome to do so. You might want to try looking at some of our policy pages, first, though, just to make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again. I've linked to a few below that might be useful to you in the future. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask a question back at the Help Desk, or add the template code helpme to your talk page, here. You're also welcome to contact me at my talk page, which I check fairly often.

I attempted to provide some more balance in this article, but the edit wars have reached epic proportions. People keep reverting changes I make that contradict a pet point of view. The current version is a compromise that at least isn't being reverted 20 times a day. I'd encourage you to edit yourself and make the needed changes if you can improve upon it. --Bookworm857158367 16:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I've read your recent comments on the Anna Anderson page. Again, please go ahead and fix the article -- citing yourself and your published works or someone else's published works. If someone comes along and reverts your edits, a more informed editor can always come along and revert them back to your version. The three-revert rule prevents people from reverting a page more than twice in one day. If the editor violates that rule, he or she can be reported to the administrators and blocked from editing for 24 hours or longer. It's designed to prevent edit wars like the one that is ongoing on the Anna Anderson page. If you're going to contribute to Wikipedia, learning the way the place works will probably be to your advantage. The DNA testing indicated that Anna Anderson was not Anastasia and that she shared the same mtDNA profile as Franziska Schanzkowska's great-nephew. According to Massie, tests were conducted on two independently obtained samples of Anderson's DNA. That does seem to indicate that she was probably Franziska Schanzkowska. Are you disputing the DNA results or simply the attacks on the credibility of her supporters? --Bookworm857158367 14:46, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
