For this reason a message intended for one person may be received by another. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. Ryūlóng 07:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

In series of 3 edits you added "The Cuckoo's Nest" to the List of live action role-playing groups. I've removed the link to that website. If you'd like to link to their web site, the appropriate thing to do is to write up an article on The Cuckoo's Nest and put the link there. See Talk:List of live action role-playing groups for some suggestions. Alan De Smet | Talk 02:25, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Scottish Reformation. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November 2006

Your edit of Gary Caldwell, while enlightening to some, is still inappropriate and considered vandalism. If you want your comments to be kept, you should consider writing them in a constructive and neutral manner. Captkrob 21:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to David S. Mann, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bubba hot ep 12:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to October 6, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Bubba hot ep 12:36, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for repeated vandalism. If or when the block expires, feel free to come back, but please make useful contributions instead, and refrain from vandalising or this account will face longer blocks, and action could be taken against the individual who uses it.

<<unblock|The IP address above is registered to the University of Glasgow. This means that you're are blocking legitimate usage of wikipedia from thousands of students and staff. Please remove this block and review future vandalism with the University's computing administrator (who will, depending on the severity of the vandalism, no doubt be able to help in ascertaining who the culprit is). A block time of one month is a punishment far too severe against a large number of people due to the actions of a very small minority. I am aware that this is block is only for anonymous editing, however, it is often a valuable option to be able to edit an article anonymously. For example, journal article reviews are, the vast majority of the time, submitted anonymously. This allows for reviewers to protect their identity and avoid the repercussions that signing a review could possibly bring. For the same reason, structured debate on scientific entries in wikipedia should be allowed to continue anonymously, without risking the reputation of the submitter.>>

I've reconsidered my position and have now unblocked this IP address. Please ask your university's network administrator to contact us at unblock-en-l regarding the tracking down of recent vandal(s) originating from this university or else should it resume, anonymous editing will be disabled once more. We cannot be expected to babysit every anonymous edit coming from your university. I should also point out that a Wikipedia account provides an editor with pseudonym that offers more anonymity than an IP address that is clearly registered with the university. --  Netsnipe  ►  13:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
