[edit] Last warning

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, you will be blocked for disruption. -- ReyBrujo 04:46, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You have recently vandalized a Wikipedia article, and you are now being asked to stop this type of behavior. You're welcome to continue editing Wikipedia, so long as these edits are constructive. Please see Wikipedia's Blocking policy and what constitutes vandalism; such actions are not tolerated on Wikipedia, and are not taken lightly.

We hope that you will become a legitimate editor. Again, you are welcome here at Wikipedia, but remember not to vandalize or you will soon be blocked from editing.

If you feel you have received this message in error, it may be because you are using a shared IP address. Nevertheless, repeated vandalism from this address may cause you to be included in any future sanctions such as temporary blocks or bans. To avoid confusion in the future, we invite you to create a user account of your own.--Hu12 04:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. --rogerd 04:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

This is a talk page of a IP number as such, its usage and ownership is shared among many editors. So, any accusations of misuse, sock puppetry, or to like is pointless, not relevant and a waste of time

it will be a very good day for the Internet, when Wikipedia is brought down either through class-action lawsuits, or it is diminished, because its reputation as an unreliable source of information and is diminished to a point of illrelevancy.

I choose to be a bit more optimistic. But that's just me. Free, open, true knowledge isn't easy to come by. If it's impossible, then Wikipedia will fail. You place your hope in whatever you wish, and I, in what I deem best. Cheers, GracenotesT § 04:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Your set of ethics is clearly different than mine... not much we can do about it. I choose to look at Wikipedia as an ideal, one will never compare fully with what it is now. But, one can only get so close. Finally, there are two sides to time wasting: 1. The vandalism-reverters 2. the vandals. Just because someone does an action with which you agree does not mean that their motives are the best. Cheers, GracenotesT § 05:00, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
