Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Incidents in the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict was changed by Politicalguy1234 (u) (t) deleting 8781 characters on 2009-02-03T17:49:32+00:00.

helpme Cluebot has marked an edit of mine as vandalism which it clearly was not (see discussion page there). However I cant access the report false positive page.
 * Hi! It would appear that the false-positive report system is currently unavailable, so you might like to leave a note at the bottom of the instructions page, like several other people have done: User:ClueBot/FalsePositives.  Stwalkerster  [  talk  ]  18:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not revert my edits without bothering to check the discussion page where you would have seen that there is no vandalism!

 * An edit that removes significant portions of sourced content, without any explanation in the edit summary, from a new editor with under a dozen edits, on an article that has been the subject of a tremendous amount of contentious argument, is one that raises a red flag for vandalism. After reviewing your explanation referencing your discussion on the article's take page, I agree that your edit was not vandalism and I have removed the warning that was left above. Please be sure to use an edit summary on all edits, but be especially careful to do so on edits where significant portions of the article are being removed, as was the case here.
