Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. FeloniousMonk 06:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi 71.199.196.105. I thought I would just explain why the warnings you deleted were replaced. Most people here consider deleting other users' comments from your talk page to be poor etiquette at best. When the page gets full, it can be archived (with a link to the archive provided). Otherwise, everything posted here should be preserved. The only exception is direct insults (see WP:RPA for the policy on that). Vandalism warnings are a special case. You should never delete a warning without explanation. If you feel the warning is false, explain why. In the past, the policy has been that accounts and IP addresses could be blocked from editing simply for removing validly-placed warnings. That policy has been under discussion lately, and I'm not sure what the current status of it is. It's not worth risking it though. If you delete a warning and it happens to have been valid, an admin who sees your page might block you for that. It's better to leave the warning and explain why it's false, if you feel it is. An admin is not going to block you as a result of a warning that is false, if you have explained what happened.

I took a look at the issue. You seem in these two edits to have deleted an entire section of the article to make it better support your point of view. FeloniousMonk was wrong to flag that as vandalism, but your edit was inappropriate, per the policy WP:NPOV. Independent of whether the criticism is fair or justified, it is certainly true that the Fox network has been criticized as described, and this is an area of controversy of genuine interest to readers of the article (on both sides). If you don't feel the section is balanced, try to improve it rather than just nuking the whole thing.

By the way, you might want to consider signing up for an account. It's easy, quick, and free. Sometimes people overreact to edits by anonymous users, which may be what happened here. Having an account helps.--Srleffler 22:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message

Hi, what was that about? Can you show some diffs? Also, may I suggest you WP:REGISTER. Thanks. ←Humus sapiens ну? 04:33, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Mr. T, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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. Shane (talk/contrib) 05:09, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Hardly vandalism. In fact your uninformed revert is closer to vandalism. If you ever saw (or heard) the Murphy performance you would know it is about receiving homosexual rape from Mr. T. You owe me an apology. 71.199.196.105 05:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
I would have no idea because I never saw that. As the message above suggests, you should WP:REGISTER so this does not happen again. -- Shane (talk/contrib) 05:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Don't blame me for your lack of info. Besides registered users can vandalize just as easily. 71.199.196.105 05:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
It's then wise to WP:CITE your sources. I am only providing you with the tools, or you can risk something happening again. -- Shane (talk/contrib) 05:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Jeez, I can't even take out the garbage without some a$$hole dragging it back in. 71.199.196.105 03:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confederate States of America

71.199.196.105 may be operating under several different IPLs, making the same false editors to the Confederacy article. Please do not over and over insert material without verifiable sources. Rjensen 13:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
