[edit] For urgent matters

I'm mainly active on the Dutch wikipedia, head for my talk page there for urgent matters. JacobH (talk) 08:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Melody Amber chess tournament

This is not self-promotion. Please don't confuse listing a series of books on the tournament with respected grandmasters as co-authors, with self-promotion. Regardless of who the other author is, those books should be mentioned on that article. Carcharoth (talk) 14:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warning

Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: User talk:99.142.61.100. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Guido den Broeder (talk) 16:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Please leave each other alone. JacobH, what you did on User talk:99.142.61.100 is stalking, which is blockable if you continue to do this. Guido's warning on that page was correct, and everyone may give warnings, not only admins. Your post was way out of line. Fram (talk) 07:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree everyone can give a warning, but a final warning is something else. It's not up to all users to decide wheter or not there will be another warning, a really final warning. It's a fact Guido den Broeder is blocked on the Dutch wikipedia, but I agree that it wasn't appropiate to mention in there. Next your accusation of stalking. As long as Guido den Broeder is filing claims against me withouth giving me a notice, like here, I feel perfectly happy to follow his steps. JacobH (talk) 11:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes a non-admin can give a final warning too, provided it is given as a progressive sequence of warnings; in this case there had been prior uw-vandalism1, uw-vandalism2 and uw-huggle3 so use of the uw-vandalism4 was appropriate. What Guido den Broeder can't do himself is then block that user, but instead would need file a report at WP:AN/I for an admin to act. You need to read WP:STALK 'If "following another user around" is accompanied by tendentiousness, personal attacks, or other disruptive behavior, it may become a very serious matter.' The above implied WP:Stalk#Threats to their participation is also unacceptable - I strongly suggest you appologise and Wikipedia:A nice cup of tea and a sit down :-) David Ruben Talk 12:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
That's a very interesting structure with those four warnings, didn't know that. I'm sure you'll understand that keeping an eye on Guido den Broeder's contributions isn't strange when you find your name by surprise on some accusation list as I mentioned above. The comment on Guido's warning was of course a reaction I shoudn't have done. JacobH (talk) 13:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
