User talk:Astonvilla91
Welcome!
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Astonvilla91! I am Timsdad and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

[edit]In a recent edit to the page Stereotypes of African Americans, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the appropriate variety of English used there. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you have any queries about all this, you can ask me on my talk page or you can visit the help desk. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:08, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to American and British English spelling differences. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Old Moonraker (talk) 10:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to Adam Hughes (footballer). However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. Thank you. Minimac (talk) 17:47, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit]All contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism.

Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do, particularly to userpages. Take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Candidates of the South Australian state election, 2010, you may be blocked from editing. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:02, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks!
[edit]It always makes my day when I find my user page vandalised by an envious Lib. Thanks again! Timeshift (talk) 21:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
