Edit Concerns

[edit]

First off let me welcome you to wikipedia! I have reviewed some of your recent conrtibutions and I have some concerns with several of your edits.

At Hatshepsut you edited the page to say hi and then removed your edit. This clogs the page history and wastes wikipedia's limited memory space.
At Adolescence you deleted the entire article, except one word muskoka. This could be a mistake and if it was you need to say so on the talk page.
At Florida it would seem that you realized your mistake and went back to correct it only to find, that another user had already made the corrections. At this point you replace the msg:United States with not just a deletion notice but a speedy deletion notice. This was a very serious mistake as it can be viewed as an act of retribution against the page and user for the revert. Major pages such as Florida should never be placed on a request for speedy deletion without having reached consensus on the talk page.

Any of these three actions can be viewed as acts of vandalism by your fellow wikipedians. When a wikipedian gets a reputation for being a vandal every contribution they make has a shadow of doubt cast over it and thus endangers all of their contributions. Unfortunately because of your actions at Hatshepsut, Adolesence, and especially Florida you have already developed that reputation. This does not mean that you are doomed to always have it; you should explain yourself if it was a mistake. If you are commiting acts of vandalism, but also want to be a wikipedian; let me tell you straight out, you can't be. If you wish to stay at wikipedia, but have been commiting acts of vandalism, I strongly suggest that you stop immediately and apologize for your actions.

I hope that you will clear up these matters and stay at wiki, but please note that your actions are being carefully monitored by the community.
