There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. -War wizard90 (talk) 06:41, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Please disregard the above. The referenced discussion was instigated by an editor, in good faith, who mis-understood Wikipedia's policies.  We are glad you are here, and hope you stay!    78.26   (spin me / revolutions) 15:16, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Regarding the Administrators notice I left you yesterday, I was simply concerned that an unusually high amount of articles all on the same topic were being made all at the same time, and didn't realize it was due to a Wikipedia training event. I thought it was better to bring it to the attention of the administrators just in case there was a problem, but had no intention of implying that you caused any problems. I hope there was no misunderstanding, and apologize if there was, we are glad to have new editors join our community and hope you continue to contribute to Wikipedia for years to come. Cheers. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:06, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
