Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 17:59, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

This is obviously a shared corporate IP. However, I can't seem to find anything in the last few days of this IP's history that can be considered nonsense, can you point it out? 208.20.220.72 17:58, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Take a look at the addition to the James Clayton article. You can see it here: [1]. Categorizing someone born in 1871 as a 1981 birth is nonsense. This edit also spammed a link (to http://www.bigshinyobjects.com) and added irrelevant information to an article ("he was a pretty cool guy"?).
The message I left on this talk page is one of the standard vandalism warning notices ({{test2}}). I used that one because this IP already had a level-1 test warning on it. I would normally consider a higher test warning given the changes to the James Clayton article, but considered a second level warning appropriate given the long time since the last reported vandalism and the fact that this is clearly a shared IP. I hope this helps you understand my reasoning. If you disagree with my judgement (I get stuff wrong, just like anyone else :-) feel free to leave further comments on my talk page.
