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, such as those you made to User:Jimbo Wales, are considered vandalism. 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. Thanks. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 12:42, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


Please do not remove warnings from your talk page or replace them with offensive content. Removing warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. If you continue to remove warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 12:43, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Jimbo has clearly said that we can edit his page:
"See that link up there 'edit this page'?"

I contend that it was an edit in good humour and that considering I have a mandate to edit the page, it is not vandalism. Vandalism is defined as:
"Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content made in a deliberate attempt to reduce the quality of the encyclopedia"

I didn't do that and it can't be justified that I did, so the only possible thing you could have warned me under is a "test-newbie" warning, which is why I changed it.

Lastly, don't edit someone's talk page twice in succession as it brings up the New Message box more than once and is extremely irritating when editing in a response. Please preview first.

Don't cross out or remove warnings, and don't change a {{bv-n}} to a {{test}} if it was placed by someone else. You've learned that doing things like what you did isn't acceptable, so don't do it again and we can all move forward from this, and forget about it, alright? --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 12:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

No we can't. You cannot justify that I've vandalised under the policy or against what Jimbo has said on his User Page so I'll keep removing until you bother to justify it, sir. 172.213.181.3 12:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I've semiprotected this page. I don't have time to continually revert your striking out my warnings. I told you what to do, forget about it, move on, and nobody would hold it against you. But you refused to do that. As such, I was forced to sprotect the page. I'm sorry, but you left me no choice. --Lord Deskana Dark Lord of the Sith 12:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
