From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. -Greg Asche (talk) 03:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Okay... We get the idea. Vandalism is rampant and Wikipedia is very vulnerable. But do you realize that anybody can buy a can of spray-paint and draw graffiti or that anybody can walk into a church and start shouting profanity at the top of their lungs? If you think fo it that way, then Wikipedia is jut as vulnerable as anything. Look at this project. What do you see? Thousands, if not millions of people all over the globe have contributed to this encyclopedia in a constructive manner. Not everybody is a vandal. You, sir or madam, have a choice as to whether you want to be one or not. Obviously, you've already decided. Shame on you. Our (not including you) hard work is always protected by responsibility and ethics. Up with information. Down with vandalism. Long live Wikipedia. Kangy 03:32, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Bratschetalk | Esperanza 03:46, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Halloween might be tomorrow (or today, in UTC time), but that does not qualify it as a current event. It is a holiday, and is noted as such on the Main Page. We also don't need to put stuff about muchos candy. Wikipedia must keep a neutral point of view, so we also can't say "the Panthers kick major booty". I have reverted your comments. Please stop adding nonsense. If you do not stop, it will be considered vandalism, and you run the risk of being blocked. If you have any other questions, please leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Bratschetalk | Esperanza 04:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
