Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Dear Pukvega: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user talk (discussion) page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

February 2008[edit]

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Ana Palacio. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. -- lucasbfr ^talk 12:35, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some sentences look awfully familiar to http://icsid.worldbank.org's biography. I am reverting your changes because you are also destroying the work of others by replacing the article by your version. Please consider improving the article by adding information, but removing it and adding a bullet point list is not how we do things here. If you need further help, please don't hesitate to post on my talk page or to put {{helpme}} followed by your question on this page. -- lucasbfr ^talk 12:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hi there. 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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. 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! --SineBot (talk) 17:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Loyola de Palacio do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bblogspot\.com' . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 17:32, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Sorry for not replying faster, I am quite busy at the moment. What is most important is for you to incorporate your knowledge into the existing article. Do small changes (of course, if something is inaccurate, replace it). Don't forget to cite anything that might be controversial. The list format you used on Ana Palacio is a bad idea. Use full prose. And keep in mind 2 core principles:

We are not a tabloid: we don't report rumors if they are not reported first by the mainstream media.
We never do original research. Wikipedia is a secondary source, we aggregate what people say, and every claim should be properly backed up.

I hope that helps! Don't hesitate to type {{helpme}} on this page to ask for help. And most important, look at how the other articles are formatted and made, that way you'll see how to write a good article (one that does not hurt the eyes! ;)). -- lucasbfr ^talk 17:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
