Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Moulay yacoubi. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Moulay yacoubi. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.
 * If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Moulay yacoubi was changed by Wikinewyork (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.902662 on 2011-07-08T15:33:49+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 15:33, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, you have caused no offence but there are a number of things about how Wikipedia works that you should understand. In no particular order:
 * there is a specific policy on biographies of libing persons see WP:BLP and all boigraphies should of living persons should comply;
 * I assume that Moulay yacoubi is a living person and therefore do not understand why you keep removing the appropriate category tags;
 * all Wikipedia articles are open to being collaberatively edited they do not belong to anyone see WP:OWNERSHIP;
 * if you are going to remove clean up tagging in an article you should have addressed the issues and document why you are removing the tagging in the edit summary; and
 * comment about the article should be confined to the article's talk page and not inserted in the article.

Finally if you want to develop an article in peace without comment from the community at large you can do this by creating it as a user page and move this to the main space when it is ready.

If I can be of any help please just ask on my talk page. FrankFlanagan (talk) 15:52, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
