Be careful: An important message - PLEASE READ
Please be extremely careful when adding in information that it does not involve defamation (if you don't know what defamation is, read this). Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them. Your status here, whether as a signed on user or as an anonymous IP, would not protect you. Someone you defame could get a court order instructing your server to supply your details to them. They could then sue you for damages. Remember, while Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act protects Wikipedia from being sued for defamation, it may not protect the person who posted any defamation on a Wikipedia page.

Furthermore the Board of Wikipedia has ruled that Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, [personal information] data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers. (Full information on Wikipedia privacy policy here)

This box has been placed on your talk page because another Wikipedian suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have verifiable, independently-sourced evidence. Don't rely on hear-say, rumours, or things you believe without proof to be facts. Wikipedia requires sources for all claims.

If you have defamed someone, you may be blocked without warning from editing Wikipedia. If you find that you have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:
1. Remove the defamation from the article immediately.
2. Hit this link and leave a note on that page saying that you accidentially left defamatory claims in named article. (Don't repeat the claims. They will be able to see from your edit removing them what they were.) A developer will then delete the claim from the page history

Once that is done, and the defamation is gone completely from our records, the problem should be solved.

Thank you for experimenting with the page Devendra Banhart on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. 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. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 03:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

In regards to your comment on my talk page, first, note that I left you this edit; User:Can't sleep, clown will eat me left you the lengthy one about defamation. Regardless, there is nothing wrong with including this information you mentioned on my talk page in the actual Banhart page. The problem is that 1) it should not be mentioned in the first sentence, as it will confuse a random viewer as to the artists actual name 2) it should be cited and detailed why this is true. The solution to both of these is to include it further in the article, with citations, and explaining, as you did on my talk page, why he is regarded as Marc Bolan Jr. Also, please assume good faith and be civil. As far as other millions of vandalism edits, I, along with many editors, patrol for these using various means and tools. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers! -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 18:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
