Regarding edits to 300 (film)[edit]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Costos! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule petitiononline\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 19:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some of the edits afterward, specifically the caption of the cliff image. The previous version provided more clarity. If you feel that your edits were removed unfairly, I invite you to describe you motivation for your edits in the Discussion Page for the article. Arcayne 19:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't add uncited claims to the article, and don't mark such edits as minor. It can be construed that you are trying to hide your edits by doing so and neglecting an edit summary. If you have concerns, take it up on the talk page as with the other issues. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 19:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter. You clearly are biased in your edits and lack any understanding of Wikipedia policy in terms of NPOV and verifiability. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 19:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am now warning you for using a deceptive edit summary. If you persist, I will report you. Please do not be deceitful -- your credibility is far enough in the shitter. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 19:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here I was, coming to ask you to not post in the middle of my User Talk page (where it wasn't immediately visible), and I see you are up to your ears in heck with Erik. Dude if you are having trouble with editing correctly, please ask for help. The sorts of things you are doing are leaving the perception that you are not a beginner, but a seasoned user. I hope to God I am wrong, bc I would hate to think I just offered to help a crank. Let me know if and how I may be able to edumicate you in the wooly ways of Wikipedia. Arcayne 23:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to help you to understand why some of your edits are being reverted, but I don't want to come across as preachy. You might want to revisit WP:NPOV and WP:ATT, as these appear to be the policies and guidelines that are used to reinforce the removal of your posts. I want you to find a place here in Wikipedia, but its important to realize that in order for this community to not spiral into chaos, we have to follow the rules that concensus has devised for the enjoyment and operation of all. If I can help, please feel free to ask. I hope I don't need to remind you to post at the bottom of my talk page, with a new header and all. Arcayne 23:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An Automated Message from HagermanBot[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! HagermanBot 19:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding inappropriate links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and will be removed. Thanks. Shadowbot 19:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
