Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Klingon Language Institute, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. — C.Fred ( talk) 20:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC) reply

1. Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to !Kung people. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. Thanks! --/ Mendaliv/ ^2¢/ _Δ's/ 05:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC) reply

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Don Black (white nationalist). Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —— Ryan • t | c 22:35, 16 May 2008 (UTC) reply
