{{subst:Uw-npa1}} equals [[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello, I'm [[User:Carolmooredc|Carolmooredc]]. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very [[Wikipedia:Civility|civil]], so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on [[User_talk:Carolmooredc|my talk page]]. Thank you.
{{subst:Uw-npa1|article}} references a specific article
{{subst:Uw-npa1|article|additional text}} adds text onto the end of the message instead of "Thanks" or "Thank you"
- Improper use of warning
[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to [[:User:Z554]] has been [[Help:Reverting|reverted]] or removed because it was a misuse of a [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace|warning or blocking template]]. Please use the [[User talk:Sandbox for user warnings|user warnings sandbox]] for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our [[Wikipedia:Introduction|introduction page]] to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you.
- Question on past editing
- [[Image:Information.svg|25px]]Welcome to Wikipedia. While you are registered as a new member, your edit summary (or whatever) suggests you are very experienced in editing Wikipedia. (WP:SPA if relevant also.) Because the issue or article you have been editing has had a lot of problems with banned users using new names - see [[WP:Sock puppets]] - I hope you don't mind if I ask if you have done extensive editing as an AnonIP or have changed user names? Thanks. Sign
