Welcome to Wikipedia!

W e l c o m e Cookies to welcome you! Hello, Paulmauf! Thank you for your contributions. My name's Airplaneman and I just wanted to say hi and Welcome to Wikipedia! You may benefit from following some of the links below, which will help you get the most out of the world's largest encyclopædia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! Please remember to sign your name on talk pages by clicking or by typing four tildes "~~~~"; this will automatically produce your name, the date and the time. You'll soon learn to appreciate people using helpful edit summaries, so please contribute by filling in that box (just above Save Page) every time you edit. If you are already loving Wikipedia, you might want to consider being "adopted" by a more experienced editor or joining a WikiProject to collaborate with others in creating and improving articles of your interest. (There's a comprehensive Directory of WikiProjects, and you'll find many article talk pages have banners from a relevant project.) Again, welcome, and happy editing!

Hi, based on your username and your edits you seem to be the subject of the above articles. For conflict of interest reasons, we usually discourage users from editing articles about themselves (except for correcting blatantly wrong entries, fixing spelling/formatting, and removing unsourced negative content). If you would like to make other significant changes to the article, consider posting a comment on its talk page, and asking other editors to look at the suggestion. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help for more information, and let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Dabomb87 (talk) 03:36, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I'll reply to you in bulleted form:

• The vandalism by other editors is indeed problematic. I've placed the article on my watchlist (you should too, if you haven't already) so that I can quickly spot and revert such edits.
• I'm unable to identify the vandals by their IP addresses. Very few editors can, for privacy reasons.
• Thanks for alerting to the other disruptive edit. Unfortunately, I cannot block the IP because he/she seems to be a hit-and-run vandal, which means a block will have little effect.

Let me know if you have any other questions or requests. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
