[edit] Welcome

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!--Jeremyb 05:40, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] August 2007

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Stamford, Connecticut. Thank you.

By the way, it's generally a good idea to discuss large scale changes like you've been doing at Stamford, Connecticut on the talk page. Thanks. Jeremyb 05:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
I agree with Jeremyb. I've reverted a number of the edits, but if you feel strongly about them, please bring the matter up on the talk pages with your reasons for changing, and I'm sure we and other editors can all come to a consensus agreement. Thanks, Noroton 02:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions, but please do not add unsourced, and potentially defamatory information to Wikipedia, as you did to Gregory R. Ball on two occasions. For your information, I am not an employee of the New York State Assembly, and I have never met Greg Ball or John Degnan, so there is no need for a "Freedom of Information Request". I clearly list my occupation in my user profile. I have edited hundreds of articles on the area as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Hudson Valley, and in total I have over 9000 edits in my two years on Wikipedia. I originally began editing the article on Greg Ball after numerous anonymous attempts at vandalism (from your IP range) were made to his biography, a few of which have been deleted from the article's history due to their libelous nature. I improved the article to WP:Good Article status a year ago, long before any article on John Degnan ever existed.

As far as I know, members of the Senate and Assembly are free to make edits to Wikipedia, there is no law against it, and the IP address of the New York State Senate does so every day (see User talk:63.118.56.110 (Contributions). You may wish to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:No Legal Threats. I am sorry if the neutral tone of a few of my many articles does not agree with, but since the articles have been peer reviewed, I would suspect they are disagreeable to you because they do not conform to your POV. I would be happy to work with you to improve both of them in the future. MrPrada (talk) 03:40, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ANI notice

Hello, 67.87.7.164. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Yours, MrPrada (talk) 07:02, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Examining some of your recent edits:

  • Greg BALL is a LOSER a
    • This is juvenile and has no place in an encyclopedia entry.
  • and his STAFF using taxpayer-funded computers to edit his Wikipeida information
    • I am not a member of Greg Ball's staff. To date, the only edits made to Greg Ball by anyone affiliated with the New York State Assembly were from an anonymous New York State Senate IP address in 2007. Please provide a reliable source which would prove your claim that Mr. Ball's staff have edited his Wikipedia entry, or John Degnan's entry.
  • on taxpayer paid work days is largely illegal.
    • It is not illegal for employees of the Assembly and Senate to edit Wikipedia. If you believe it is, please cite the section of the New York State Code which would warrant such claims.
  • His anti-Hispanic rhetoric is just another example of Italian-Americans mostly being against Hispanics.
    • Your comment about Italian Americans is defamatory. Please cite a reference where Mr. Ball has used "anti-Hispanic rhetoric".
  • An absolute failure in the Assembly.
    • That is your opinion, and has no place on Wikipedia.
  • Greg Ball has never been popular in his district
    • Mr. Ball won the 2006 primary with 70% of the vote. Please provide a reference from a reliable publication before asserting this again.
  • Mr. Ball aligned himself with shady characters
    • Please provide examples, along with references for this statement.
  • including known hate groups
    • This is potentially defamatory. Please provide a reference to these "hate groups" and his assocation with them.
  • Mr. Ball endorsed taxing commuters for traveling into Manhattan
    • Please provide a reference for this statement. I am unable to find a single story regarding Ball supporting the commuter tax.
  • Most collegues in Albany shun him, including Republicans
    • Please provide a reference from a reliable publication for this statement.
  • Shorty after Mr. Degnan stated he was going to challenger Mr. Ball an individual associated with Mr. Ball enhanced his Wikipedia biography
    • Please provide a reference for this statement from a reliable publication. If you are referring to me, I began editing the Greg Ball article in October 2007, and according to reliable Mr. Degnan was running for Town supervisor and not against Mr. Ball at that time.
  • The same individual also altered Mr. Degnan's Wikipedia information inserting biased and false information.
    • I created Mr. Degnan's entry, I did not alter an existing piece. Please provide examples of this baised and false information.
  • The above referenced material was prepared and written by an individual closely assigned with Greg Ball
    • Please provide a reference for this statement. I have never met Mr. Ball, so I'm not sure you'll be able to find one.
  • the current legislator which no accomplishments in Albany
    • Please provide a reference for this statement. As you can see by Mr. Ball's entry, with nearly 200 references, your perceptions may not be entirely accurate.
  • The same Greg Ball who was booed on the Assembly floor, even by fellow Republicans
    • Please provide a reference for this statement. None of the stories published seem to mention that he was booed by fellow Republicans. Rather, they conclude he was cheered for repeating the term "most dysfunctional legislature" from the NYU Brannan Center for Justice's report.

Also, please be careful, as you are approaching WP:3RR with your recent edits. I see no reason to leave you templates about vandalism, defaming, removing sourced material, and all the usual recourses editors like my self have to dealing with anonymous IPs like you, instead, I'm sure we can work together to improve both articles, but while you engage in petty vandalism and inserting unsourced, biased statements, that cannot occur.

[edit] Final disruption and 3rr warnings


Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to John Degnan. Your edits have been automatically marked as unconstructive/possible vandalism and have been automatically reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: John Degnan was changed by 67.87.7.164 (u) (t) deleting 10671 characters on 2008-05-29T07:26:18+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 07:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Anonymous101 (talk) 07:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on John Degnan. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. MrPrada (talk) 07:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 07:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ScarianCall me Pat! 08:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
