From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi -- please stop re-creating the article Brian Whittington. Wikipedia has policies against creating vanity articles with no encyclopedic value. You're welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia in other ways, but please don't create vanity articles that only make more work for other volunteers on the project. I've also removed the reference to yourself from List of famous people raised in Houston. Thanks for understanding, and if you need help here don't hesitate to leave me a message. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:19, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like you to know that I've nominated the article Dress Up Shows for deletion. I'm sure you didn't realize this when you created the article, but Wikipedia also has rules against using the encyclopedia as a medium through which to advertise a business (see What Wikipedia is not). Naturally, some businesses that have risen to a level of encyclopedic notability (for instance, IBM) have articles here. But I don't think your business, as fun as it sounds, would qualify. You can view the deletion vote, and also vote on it yourself, here. I hope you understand, and stick around to work on other articles. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:28, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Please don't delete or modify other users' comments. It's considered vandalism, and can get you blocked from editing. Thanks. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:42, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, please don't remove the deletion notice tag from Dress Up Shows. This can also be considered vandalism. It's much better to go to the deletion vote page and argue why you believe the article should be retained on Wikipedia. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

If you vandalize my userpage again, I will block you from editing. Please don't do that; it's childish and won't help your cause. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 17:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires.

Please use the time to read up on how to make positive contributions to the project. Johntex\^talk 18:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
