Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ebbw Vale by-election, 1960, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
- 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. 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 makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
- If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to place "
{{helpme}}
" on your talk page and someone will drop by to help. - The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Ebbw Vale by-election, 1960 was changed by Greg Nevers (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.872496 on 2012-01-01T15:50:55+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 15:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Omegle. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Begoon talk 16:49, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I could not find a link for the matter, but I can verify from using both that Chat Roulette has a guideline regarding this matter, while Omegle does not. It seems relating to the section, and I honestly did not think it was vital to include, as it is a verifiable fact. --Greg Nevers (talk) 16:52, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, perhaps it was a bit hasty of me to just revert. What concerns me, though, is that you are saying "Chat Roulette will filter and ban users who post nudity and other such content." - which you say is a guideline. I'm sure you are correct, but do they always filter and ban for this? If they don't, then the comment might give readers a false expectation. I think it would be much neater with a citation - is it in any Terms & Conditions you can get off the site? If not, maybe it could be reworded as something like - "Unlike their competitors, Chatroulette, Omegle does not have any guidelines for filtering/banning users who post nudity and other such content" (if that is true - I think you are saying it is). It doesn't give quite the same expectation, like that, IMO. Of course, refs/links to both sets of Terms/Conditions or guidelines is still vastly preferable, and I can't guarantee that, without that, someone else won't revert an edit like this. Sorry for all the "ifs" and "buts", but it's tricky to word all this succinctly. Begoon talk 08:31, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia
[edit]Hello and welcome,
I hope that you will stick around and keep contributing. I saw your comment at Michael McGinn and its no big deal to me whether the majority stays in the infobox or not - I just want a decision based on consensus rather than one editor's personal opinion. I see that you are interested in Seattle politics - the articles about the city council members need to be updated to reflect 2011 election results. Could you do that - I know little about Seattle politics other than what I've learned working on McGinn's article.
Feel free to ask me any questions you want about editing Wikipedia, and have a Happy New Year. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:55, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
- I actually have some experience with wikipedia before, but it has been quite a while since I was last on it. Yes, I would be happy to contribute towards the pages on the city council. I will try to start this project tonight. I really don't feel strong about the majority either, I just saw the debate so I thought I would chime in. Hoping all is well. --Greg Nevers (talk) 21:16, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
