Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Patebrims! Thank you for your contributions. I am BeenAroundAWhile and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:54, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

List of Chinatowns

Howdy. Thanks for your attention to the List of Chinatowns, but we really have to have a discussion on the Talk page over there, Talk:Chinatowns_in_the_United_States. When making edits, it is best if you make them slowly, over a few days or weeks, so that other people can comprehend them and either accept them or explain about why not. Thanks so much.

April 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Chinatowns in the United States, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.I know that you are new here, but you have to respond on the talk page, explain what you are doing and get the reaction from your fellow editors.

Please take a break from editing or you might be blocked (not by me; I am not an administrator). See Wikipedia:Blocking policy. Yours, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 06:40, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

• (I am the article's creator) While you needn't fear being blocked over this, I do question some of your removals. In particular, you removed 18KB of text in a single edit without any discussion. Some of the text you removed could fairly easily be sourced. Please discuss your edits with BeenAround and I on the article's talk page. pbp 13:14, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
