Though you've been around here longer than me, looks like you never got a proper "Welcome!", so Welcome! Yours, Smee 07:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC).

Hi Kielsky, I can see you've had a bit of a bumpy introduction to Wikipedia. It can take some time learn the conventions and become acclimatized to the culture. Unfortunately, your recent contributions Ab initio, A mensa et thoro, and A vinculo matrimonii have fallen afoul of one of the policies about what kind of content is desired in Wikipedia: specifically, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I'm going to have to do something about them: nominate them for deletion and/or move them to Wiktionary. Please do continue to contribute! Cheers, Cyan 22:37, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
I posted the articles on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, where it was suggested that they be merged into an article about Legal terms. Cheers, Cyan 23:59, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Hiya. Should I take it from your continuing edits to credit repair that you no longer have any objection to that article not containing a copyright statement linking to your site? Martin 19:11, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Martin, I am willing to cede to the compromise of having a credit/link on the talk: page. Kielsky 23:21, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Splendid. Thanks, Kielsky. :) Martin 23:36, 25 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Thank you, sorry if I was mean. silsor 23:41, Nov 25, 2003 (UTC)
Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
February 2012[edit]
Hello Kielsky. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Grand Canyon Preparatory Academy, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Raymie (t • c) 18:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 11[edit]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Libertarian Party of Arizona, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kevin McCormick (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

March 2022[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
