[edit] Roller coaster infobox

We appreciate your contributions, but you may not be currently aware that the Roller Coaster Infobox is designed such as blank fields do not appear in the article. Inserting "No Launch" or "None" only adds unnecessary information to the articles. Also, statements about ride smoothness/roughness are generally avoided as some riders find some rides smooth while others find the same ride to be rough. --WillMcC 04:14, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. You really do need to read the instructions for the roller coaster infobox before making such changes to articles. In particular, I've noticed you are unintentionally removing information from the pages by filling in certain fields incorrectly, causing them to blank. Let me know if you have any questions in particular and I'll do my best to help out. Seaserpent85Talk 23:03, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Seaserpent85Talk 23:49, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent additions to roller coaster related articles

Please can you refrain from making more edits to infoboxes on roller coaster articles until you have fully read the instructions. As it is, me and other editors are having to undo most of your edits as blank fields on the template do not need to be filled in. Also, any statistics that are from sources other than rcdb will need to be referenced. As it is, nearly all of your edits have included unsourced information that will be removed unless you can provide sources. Many thanks, Seaserpent85Talk 00:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Verifiability

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Seaserpent85Talk 13:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi -- Please read the documentation at Template:Infobox roller coaster before modifying usage of this template. We appreciate your trying to help, but you're causing more work undoing your edits, when others have notified you before. Thanks! --Rehcsif 20:12, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I regret to advise you that I have blocked this account from editing Wikipedia for 31 hours. This block has been performed to bring you to this talkpage and is no reflection on your intentions and content of edits. You have been adding information to articles in a manner not in keeping with the expected standards, and some editors want to help you with this. I am now going to add a standard block template, which allows you to request unblock. I suggest that you comment that you have read and understood this message, and that you wish to discuss your edits with other editors. Hopefully you will be quickly unblocked and be able to continue editing. Thank you.

Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.
