Welcome to Wikipedia.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to High five. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. I am not exactly certain whether this is a joke or not. If you believe your edits should be kept, please source them.

[edit] Re: High Five

Ok, first of all, you need to read up on what vandalism is not. There, it clearly states that "Wikipedians often make sweeping changes to pages in order to improve them - most of us aim to be bold when updating articles. While having large chunks of text you've written removed or substantially rewritten can be frustrating, simply making edits that noticeably alter the text or content of a pages should not be immediately labeled vandalism." Therefore, my edits were not to be taken in bad faith. Secondly, you can re-add the content, but due to the controversial nature (i.e. the high five originating with the nazis), I reserve the right to revert them as vandalism unless they have a reliable source that goes along with it (and that doesn't mean the monologue at the beginning of some Seinfeld episode), otherwise, it is original research, or trolling.
