[edit] Signing your talk page posts
I know I didn't do a good job of this, but if you are writing in an article or user talk page, it would be helpful if you use four tildes (Umalee 02:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)). It puts down your user name and the current time. Thanks. --Umalee 02:24, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please stop
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Cat chi? 21:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- If you want to reference a book in a Wikipedia, please use Wikipedia:Book sources. You can use {{cite book}} to arrange the book reference, and, if you include the ISBN, it will automatically link to the book-source page. Linking directly to Amazon.com or other booksellers is discouraged. — Gareth Hughes 22:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

- With regards to your comments on user talk:White Cat: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. — Gareth Hughes 22:27, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I have blocked you for 48 hours for this vitriolic and wholly unprovoked personal attack in response to a templatized spam warning. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:No personal attacks. The next block for an occurence like this will be longer. You may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.--Chaser - T 04:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
