[edit] Please stop

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Tekonsha, Michigan page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Ruhrfisch 12:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Scott Mitchell (American football), you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ruhrfisch 12:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2007

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalise Wikipedia, as you did to Avocado, you will be blocked from editing. RJASE1 ^Talk 06:56, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article, as you did to Bill Laimbeer, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. RJASE1 ^Talk 06:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm surprised that noone has elected to tag you for vandalism at Shed. Your strange inclusions of references to slaves and Africa are idiosyncratic, as though meant to be offensive. Reviewing the complaints against you already, it seems you don't want to contribute. Please prove me wrong in this estimation. Shenme 07:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
