Editor's Message There have been quite a lot of serious issues raised since our last publication, including repeated violations of core policies; even on biography articles which is unacceptable. Concerns of early-creation of articles and biographies without taking into account of the general notability guidelines have also been brought to our attention, with an active debate taking place on the project talk page. We as editors need to be making sure we follow the Five Pillars as if our lives depended on them. When adding new content to articles, make sure you are providing citations using only reliable sources so that we are ultimately verifying our writings, without breaking the original research rule - and even more vigorously when it comes to Biographies of Living People. Also maintenance tags have been repeatedly been removed and the required action those tags were in connection to had not been done. Please only remove tags if you've fulfilled the actions. Leaving edit summaries stating that you hate the templates and then do nothing about fixing the issues will not be tolerated. With the number of repeated errors been made in recent weeks, it is lucky that editors have not received blocking sanctions. So consider this the one and only warning - be vigilant - and if in doubt ask for advice from experienced editors. Regardless of how you contribute, remember to maintain a teamwork atmosphere, it is that which makes us one of the most efficient projects on Wikipedia. An inspirational acronym that some of you may wish to take on board is I DO ACT - Inspirational, Distinctive, Open, Alert, Consistent and part of the Team. Working as part of a team is what makes us become outstanding experienced Wikipedians. And speaking of Wikipedians, encourage potential new members to the project by posting {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on their talk pages. Happy editing!
