Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make useful changes to Wikipedia. However, at least one of your changes, such as the one you made to "Puerto Rico", did not seem to be helpful and has been automatically reverted by ChenzwBot. If you want to try out changing Wikipedia to learn more about how it works, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Technical details: Edit (5474302) processed with score of 0.754107.

If you believe there has been a mistake, please report it here and then remove this warning. --ChenzwBot (talk · contribs) 17:24, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only warning you will get. Your recent vandalism, for example the changes you made to Puerto Rico, will not be allowed on Wikipedia. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes stops editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism shows a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from changing Wikipedia without any more warnings. Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 17:50, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why vandalize? A bot or a person will revert your changes soon after they are made and then what do you have left? Nothing! If you make constructive edits -- that is, edits that improve the encyclopedia -- there is a chance that those edits will last for years, perhaps even for decades or longer. If, instead of painting and drawing, Leonardo da Vinci had tagged buildings with the 15th-century equivalent of graffiti, there would be nothing left of his work today and he would not be famous. But he chose to create works of art and science instead. Those works have inspired millions and have endured to modern times. Please consider becoming a constructive contributor. If you have questions about how to get started, please feel free to ask them below and someone will get back to you. Regards, Etamni | ✉ | ✓ 18:04, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from changing Wikipedia for two weeks for vandalism. If you do not agree with this block, please reply on your talk page by adding {{unblock|reason}}, replacing reason with why you think the block is wrong. If you cannot do this or the reason is private, please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.
