User talk:82.69.194.158

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Cystic fibrosis. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Tachikoma 11:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: your apology

Hello there, thanks for your apology. Warnings about vandalism shouldn't be removed from your talk page, as the removal itself is seen as a form of vandalism. Unfortunately, this applies even if the warnings apply to someone else with your IP address (in this case, your brother). Warnings on a talk page can, over time, create a bad reputation for that user and make that IP address more likely to be blocked. In your case, a single warning in the past shouldn't be cause for concern. More troubling would be several warnings, especially warnings given in rapid succession.

In the future, I would suggest that you find some way of keeping your brother away from your computer, such as using a password. While you're at it, you might consider registering for Wikipedia. That way, your IP address will be hidden to most users. If you do choose to sign up, you should keep your password secret, so that your brother doesn't tarnish your user account.--Tachikoma 00:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
