[edit] Edit to Salma Hayek

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Linking another article that has no sense to this article makes no sense. Ronbo76 05:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I should clarify that, I saw your edit as an unsourced edit. You seem to be tagging articles with a Jesuit alumi tag. Every edit to an article should meet Wikipedia:Verifiability, be properly sourced and cited. As far as I know, Hayek did not attend a Jesuit institution and I would need to see a reliable third party source/citation in her article to permit the tag. Ronbo76 05:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I mistakenly tagged this user with the first test. User pointed out to me where in Salma Hayek's article a link appears to an Ibero American Jesuit college. I apologize to this user. Ronbo76 07:17, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding the see also link to all these articles --ArmadilloFromHellGateBridge 05:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

Stop Hi. You've been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia for making edits that do not comply with our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy on a mass scale. Please also see Wikipedia:Categorization for the correct way to categorize biographies. If you have any further questions or would like to resume editing soon, feel free to ask them on this page. --  Netsnipe  ►  06:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Hayek attended Universidad Iberoamericana, a Jesuit college. All of my edits re. Jesuit schools can be verified, many from sources linked within the respective biographies. Please review my edits and you will find this to be the case. I added the Jesuit link to various articles because it contributes to their biography, i.e. tells us something significant about their background. You may feel differently, and we may respectfully disagree, but I contend one's educational background is quite revealing. I also respectfully ask that you unblock my editing privileges

Hi, thanks for responding. I don't disagree with the categorization per se, though I do disagree with the way you're doing it. Adding a "list of schools" to a biography contributes no useful information. The correct way to do it on Wikipedia is to add the articles to a Wikipedia category for "Jesuit alumni" (for example) so that lists can be automatically generated. Make sure you see if there's a preexisting category for the topic already, and if it doesn't exist, propose it so others can discuss it. See Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization for further details. Apologies for blocking you, but it was the only way to force you to respond to our concerns and communicate. Please remember that Wikipedia is a community based encyclopedia. I've now unblocked you. Please also consider creating an account. Thanks. --  Netsnipe  ►  06:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I would second what this admin said. What I do when I edit any article is what I initially put after the warning I placed in error: any fact you place, cite like you have a Jesuit father standing over you 24/7 just waiting for you not to do your term paper correctly without citing references.

[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Here are some other hints and tips:

  • I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
  • When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!

Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.

[edit] I did not block you

Someone else did. I just reviewed her article and found the link. That is an obscure Jesuit school that many people do not know about. Please read your talkpage. The blocking admin should include a way to contact and remove the block. BTW, I read the blocking quickly (I had another message as well and it's a priority - but I did answer yours first). Quite honestly, I agree with some of the comments about generating a category and properly sourcing. If nothing else, put in your summary using Tony Plana as the ex.:

(Edit summary tag after placement) Minor: Please see Tony Plana's link in article to Loyola Marymount University because others will cite you like the editors after me. Ronbo76 07:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
