[edit] March 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Some of your recent edits, such as those you made to :Image:Euphonium1.JPG, have been considered unhelpful or unconstructive and have been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello. If wish to change Euphonium to Baritone, please discuss your proposed changes on the article's talk page: Talk:Euphonium. Thanks. —BazookaJoe 04:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Euphonium, you will be blocked from editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Finbar Canavan (talk • contribs)

  • You are not committing vandalism on Euphonium but this is a content dispute. There is a rule you might not be aware of, the three revert rule. Please stop revert warring and gain consensus on the talk page before making your change again. If you continue reverting, you may be temporarily blocked for violating the 3RR. —dgiestc 04:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing posting another user's personal information without permission.
If you feel this block is in error, please place {{unblock}} on this page and explain why, or e-mail me or any other administrator. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires.

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "I didn't post another users information, the information was my own. If that is not allowed I'm sorry, I was simply trying to settle the dispute with him so things could get back to normal. If this is only a temporary block that's fine, but it would bother me if I lose the ability to edit here for an extended period simply because this other user is being childish."

Decline reason: "As per WP:ANI. — Yamla 01:52, 6 April 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

The block was for 24 hours... if you can post a link to the point in question, that'd be helpful. I asked your blocking admin to do the same. --Auto(talk / contribs) 00:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Please see [[1]] in regards to this incident. Unblock should be denied --Auto(talk / contribs) 01:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Again, I didn't post another user's contact information. It was my own. I am sorry if that was in error as well, but I really don't agree with the fact that the other user is being granted more legitimacy just because he knows how to use wikipedia more than I do. He is obviously just against the edits I think are necessary for the article, and he is trying to keep control of the page.

Look, here it is, plain and simple: I am a registered user who has never made a secret of my identity and has a history of good behavior and helpful edits over more than a year. You show up, making anonymous edits that I know you know are incorrect and disruptive, and then pose as me, signing my name and giving my phone number. You can rail and feign injury all you want, but the system is on my side, for the reasons I just named. You won't be able to vandalize the euphonium article anymore, and if you show up posing as me again or posting my contact info, I will get you blocked for longer. Eventually, since you're using UNT system computers, it will affect other students as well.

Grow up.

P.S.: I know perfectly well that being the sort of person you are, you're not going to listen to anything I say and will just throw this back in my face. That's fine; I'm not going to check back here again. I'm just letting you know that Wikipedia favors its known editors over anonymous trolls, and explaining why you won't win this.

But alas, my Netherlandish friend, I have already won. Oh the laughs I have gotten from our correspondence. And FYI I AM Robert McDaniel. And You are Not.

AWESOME!!  :-P
