Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. (Diff) Ford MF 19:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You did not make a "legitimate" edit, you used an encyclopedia entry to send a personal message to your girlfriend. There are some occasions on which vandally edits have wiggle room for good faith/bad faith, but this one doesn't.  It was selfish, disrespectful and disruptive of Wikipedia.  Alerting people that you're vandalizing in your edit summary, to make it easier for them to revert, doesn't make it any better, and you shouldn't be surprised that your fellow Wiki editors aren't totally excited to clean up your love notes.


 * I tagged it an edit test rather than outright vandalism because it was your first and only edit, and sometimes new users, when they're getting the hang of the project, try out the very open editing powers of Wikipedia in unconstructive ways. Sometimes these people go one to become productive editors, sometimes not.  I sincerely hope you fall into the latter category.  I've left you a welcome template with some Wiki-guide links you might want to check out.  Cheers.  Ford MF 01:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, yes, there are in fact guidelines. As with any other page on Wikipedia, May 19 is subject to our policies of verifiability and notability.  Cheers.  Ford MF 02:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
