Thanks for your contribution, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out! -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 09:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Colbert said it was true... would he lie to me? I think not. Gregmitch 09:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

Okay, I realize that the whole Stephen Colbert prank isn't as funny to you as it appeared to me at the time that I joined it, but I did not register solely to vandalize this page. I have been registered for a while, and have made contributions, and will continue to be positively contributing to Wikipedia, so I'd like to be unblocked. I don't understand what the delay is here, if you're not going to unblock me, could somebody at least let me know and tell me why? Gregmitch 04:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock denial

Right, I don't appreciate being called an idiot. I guess my other legit contributions will be ignored then. I'm going to fight this till the bitter end, you pompous pricks.Gregmitch 08:42, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Okay, here's the thing. The Colbert incident caused us some serious difficulties. I will concede that the term "idiot" may be overly harsh; however, you should try to see it from our viewpoint.
Another thing about Wikipedia to bear in mind is that we try to be friendly. We don't always succeed, but we do try. If you're willing to apologize for your statement about fighting, etc, then I'll unblock you. DS 01:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I've been (and am) a moderator on other webpages, so I do understand your point of this. I guess I didn't really think it was a big deal, but I see now that it was, and that I was just being a jerk. Gregmitch 20:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Since you contacted me on MySpace and apologized for your actions, I'll assume good faith and unblock you. Just remember to think before you edit in the future. --Ixfd64 16:00, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Okay

Note that you're now unblocked, and may resume editing. DS 16:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, I wont cause any more problems in the future. Promise. Gregmitch 20:47, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I just checked your recent edits, and you're doing fine. Keep up the good work. DS 18:40, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
It's not much, but I'm glad you approve. Gregmitch 22:19, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
