Template:Uw-dated
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your recent edit introduced content which will soon become dated. Please do not do this as such content will become invalid over time, and merely becomes a maintenance burden to the project. For example, a statement written in the future tense will be invalid once the event has occurred. Likewise, a specific age of a living person will become invalid on that person's next birthday - if there is a need to add such content, use automatic age calculation templates instead. Thank you.
