[edit] User:Compaq George

Watch out. Not all his edits were vandalism. I've since reverted you. Have a nice day, 72.139.97.176 22:59, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was reverting them all that way for speed -- but they are all. however, unsourced and should be removed. Gscshoyru 23:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Please stop re-reverting -- they're unsourced edits -- see WP:V for why stuff must be sourced. Gscshoyru 23:03, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kwsn 2

IPs are not allowed to edit the "Support/Neutral/Oppose" sections as per community consensus. You may, however, comment in the "Discussion" section. Regards. —Animum (etc.) 23:31, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

That's stupid. 72.139.97.176 23:32, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
You can create an account to comment, though. Wikipedia is much better if you have an account. :-) —Animum (etc.) 23:33, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] October 2007

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. —Animum (etc.) 23:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
That was a poor decision, Animum. I can reset my router and get a new IP, for example. Lift the block please, I'll stay away from RfA for the 24 hours, I can do other things, like revert vandalism or write articles. 72.139.97.176 23:38, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't recommend doing that (resetting the router); after all, the block will expre soon. :-) You're absolutely welcome to contribute after the block expires. —Animum (etc.) 00:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Any you shouldn't block editors you're in dispute with. You should know that. 72.139.97.176 23:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
When the changes clearly violate community practice, ignoring a rule is feasible. —Animum (etc.) 00:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
And you forgot to warn me, as well. 72.139.97.176 23:39, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Ydes, that was not prudent of me. —Animum (etc.) 00:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
We've been known to ignore the rules on occasion ;-) --Agüeybaná 23:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oh and by the way

Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

You are welcome to continue editing articles without logging in, but you may wish to create an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. For one thing, if you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome! —Animum (etc.) 00:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
