[edit] Warning

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Mail Boxes Etc. page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Leuko 02:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it was nonsense, per se, but it was certainly POV. Unless it can be sourced, I agree it needs to stay off the article.

[edit] Large Copypaste

Greetings.

I had to remove a large copypaste you placed on the article Mail Boxes Etc.. There are a couple of problems with what you're doing that I feel I should bring to your attention.

• First, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox. You can't use it to advance your personal agenda, however badly you feel you or others have been treated by MBE/UPS.
• Second, your post was an egregious violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Read especially this to see what I mean.
• Third, you do not appear to be able to maintain a neutral point of view. It's pretty clear from your edit history that you have an agenda. I recommend you find another topic on which to write or bring your edits more in line with Wikipedia's policies.

Please don't take this as a personal attack; I'm trying to be helpful. I'm not an administrator, but there are administrators who would have blocked you by now for your partisan remarks.

You might want to take another look at the information I posted above about how Wikipedia works.

Regards,
