For this reason, a message intended for one person may be received by another and a block may be shared by many. If you are editing from this address and are frustrated by irrelevant messages, you can avoid them by creating an account for yourself. In some cases, you may temporarily be unable to create an account due to efforts to fight vandalism; if so, please see here.

If you are autoblocked repeatedly, we encourage you to contact your Internet service provider or IT department and ask them to contact Wikimedia's XFF project about enabling X-Forwarded-For HTTP headers on their proxy servers so that our editing blocks will affect only the intended user. Alternatively, you can list the IP at Wikipedia:WikiProject on XFFs.

Caution should be used when blocking this IP or reverting its contributions without checking - if a block is needed, administrators should consider using a soft block with the template {{anonblock|optional comment}} as the block reason.

Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Alaska Airlines . It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Kuru 04:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whitney Houston

Welcome!

Hello 159.49.254.2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, some of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a great page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Wikipedia Boot Camp, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Extraordinary Machine 13:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 20:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

You are in danger of violating the three-revert rule on a page. Please cease further reverts or you may be blocked from further editing. Please join in the discussion at Talk:Whitney Houston. Extraordinary Machine 00:12, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Again, you're reverting other people's edits without explanation or discussion. Please respond at Talk:Whitney Houston, and bear in mind that a failure to do so will be interpreted as representative of an unwillingness to work collaboratively with other editors. Extraordinary Machine 21:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mariah Carey

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. While the Wikipedia community appreciates your obvious efforts to increase the amount of information on the site, we'd like to point out our policy against original research and for citing sources for the information you provide. This increases the reputation of Wikipedia as a whole and aids in checking the factuality of that article. Extraordinary Machine 21:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User notice: temporary 3RR block

[edit] Regarding reversions[2] made on June 30, 2006 (UTC) to Whitney Houston

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

The duration of the block is 8 hours. William M. Connolley 07:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits made during July 3, 2006 (UTC)

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 hard 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. — getcrunk what?! 21:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

Please read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and refrain from continually introducing biased information into the Whitney Houston article. --Musicpvm 01:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Musicpvm 23:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey

You've been reverted, you've been asked to discuss the matter, and you've been blocked from editing for a period. Your behaviour could be interpreted as disruption, and if you continue you will most likely become the subject of a request for comment, which may lead to punitive action against you. Look, it's good that you're enthusiastic about contributing to Wikipedia, and the project needs people who want to contribute. What you must not do, however, is ignore Wikipedia's policies and guidelines (as well as comments from other users) and continue to edit and undo everybody's changes as you have been doing. Please read Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial, and remember that Wikipedia is not a fansite portraying the subjects of its articles in the most positive light; it is an encyclopedia, and we must all remember to be neutral and unbiased when writing it. See also Wikipedia:Citing sources, which is just as important.

Also, remember that deliberately inserting (and reinserting) incorrect information into Wikipedia articles is considered vandalism. If you looked at the official RIAA website cited in the Whitney Houston article, you'd see that Houston's holiday album has not been certified gold. Keep ignoring this, and it's likely you'll be blocked from editing again. Please think twice about what you're doing. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 20:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not deliberately introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did at Whitney Houston. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 23:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You're also refusing to discuss your edits again, even though you've been asked to several times. Extraordinary Machine 23:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you deliberately introduce incorrect information into a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Extraordinary Machine 11:21, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing, for the second time, for vandalism of the Whitney Houston article. You've deliberately introduced (and re-introduced) incorrect information into the page, despite having been told why it is incorrect and warned not to. Because I've been undoing your constant (and thus far unexplained) re-insertions of a pro-Houston point of view into the article, I shouldn't and won't block you for that, but this is a different issue. You also violated the three-revert rule again by reverting the same sections of the article five times in a 24-hour period, which is also a blockable offense; again, my position in this dispute means that I haven't blocked you for that, but that doesn't mean other admins can't review the situation and enforce a block if need be. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. If you choose to do so I strongly suggest you respond to other users' concerns at Talk:Whitney Houston, or else you may find yourself faced with a request for comment. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 21:49, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
