Per your comment on my talk page: eliminating liberal bias is fine, but introducing your own point of view is not. Also, "what the fuck" is a phrase that generally signals unencyclopaedic content is involved, and should probably be avoided if you want to make serious contributions. One last note, is that you should always use edit summaries, or an article's associated talk page to explain/justify changes if you think an edit might be controversial. Cheers, and happy wiki-ing. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 07:50, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


How is calling someone a "refugee" a ethnic slur? - Ben Epsilon 06:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

As they say in the movies, "ooh behave". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopaedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article mightn't find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. OK?

Regarding your edit to Bill Clinton - the section was about his public image, thus the publicity shot of him with a young black boy was very relevant. Removing this image could be construed as vandalism. Makemi 05:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your contribution, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and NPOV. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out!

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Scaife (Talk) Don't forget Hanlon's Razor 05:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

The best way to deal with POV edits in the future is to change it to an NPOV stance, not to respond with some inflammatory retort. BlueGoose 05:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I might be making a test case out of you, but I believe in taking a very concilliatory approach in dealing with vandals, especially POV vandals. I have a problem when people say it's your final warning when they do not that type of authority. But anyways, stay good, and if you have any questions, I've told you before to ask me questions on my talk page. BlueGoose 05:52, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Any Wikipedian has the "authority" to give you a final warning, however only a sysop can act on it. See Wikipedia:Vandalism and WP:POINT. -Scaife (Talk) Don't forget Hanlon's Razor 05:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
Within the confines of policy. BlueGoose 05:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome, 67.163.110.126. The way you deal with these "horseshit" articles is not by vandalizing them or putting jokes on them (as you've done in the past), but it's done by making constructive edits that show effort and thought. Also note that Wikipedia is not made up of personalities. You're on here first as an editor. BlueGoose 06:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
