Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Langston Hughes Middle School (Fairfax County, Virginia), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. 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. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:Tony Fox, you will be blocked from editing. &mdash; Timotab Timothy (not Timdagnabbit!) 07:11, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

To reply to your comment on my talk page: first, freedom of speech is not protected on Wikipedia, as it's a private entity. Second, vandalism is very much frowned upon; we - and by we, I'm talking about the tens of thousands of volunteers who create and edit articles, and who patrol the existing articles to clear up vandalism and other problems - are building an encyclopedia, and changes such as those you were making are counterproductive to that goal. We're always happy to have new editors who will edit productively. I'll leave you a standard welcome note below this; please take some time to read over the included links so you can learn more about how Wikipedia works, and consider editing productively from here on out. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:53, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
