Welcome!

Hello, Thomas Anthony Kelly, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello, I'm Gamaliel. An edit that you recently made to Edwin Mellen Press seemed to be a test and it has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Gamaliel (talk) 00:16, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Please stop trying to remove negative content from Edwin Mellen Press, Thomas. I see that you have a history throughout the internet of commenting favorably about the business, but Wikipedia adheres to a neutral point of view] in our coverage of topics. That means we write our article based on what [[WP:RS|reliable sources say about a topic, not based on what the article subject or its fans necessarily prefer. Please also be aware of our conflict of interest policy. If you are being paid or otherwise asked to "polish up" the reputation of Edwin Mellen Press, this is generally not compatible with editing Wikipedia on that topic, due to the inherent problems in editors with COIs remaining neutral in their edits. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 00:07, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Edwin Mellen Press shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. ''Note that you are not actually entitled to 3 reverts. Indeed, as you have been reverted by a number of editors, if you continue this you will almost certainly be blocked. What you need to do know is to use the article talk page to get agreement to your edits.'' Dougweller (talk) 08:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
