[edit] Life on Mars

Could you please provide the source then as per WP:RS or else it will have to be removed. Therefore 05:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Please refer to WP:RS#Bulletin boards, wikis and posts to Usenet. Newsgroups postings are not generally considered reliable sources. Wikipedia depends upon published, reliable sources. I know this is frustrating at first to new users. Wikipedia is designed for encyclopedic information and is not a blog, a newsgroup or IMDB or Amazon.com where casual posts are welcome. I suggest that you consider signing up for a Wikipedia account so that you may discuss this with your peers. Therefore 15:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An Automated Message from HagermanBot

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 Image:Wikisigbutton.png 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 05:02, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coca Cola Zero

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Veinor (talk to me) 14:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey -- no one has taken the effort to explain why your addition to this article is being reverted. They are violating Wikipedia's "Explain policies to newbies calmly" by not doing so. Obviously you desire to participate in Wikipedia and that is more than welcome. Your addition to Coca Cola Zero is an opinion and is considered a violation of Wikipedia's "No original research". Do some research and find a "reliable source". For instance, say you find an article in the New York Times that discusses the product negatively. Then you can write, "A journalist in the New York Times says the product does not taste anything like the original Coca Cola at all, despite the overwhelming marketing claims. The taste is virtually identical to the old Diet Coke (or Coca Cola Light)." Be sure to add in the reference -- see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Be sure to paraphrase accurately the source.
