You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires.

I would like to welcome you to Wikipedia by starting you off with a 24 hour block for posting an amazing quantity of hoax material onto Wikipedia. I think some of it's pretty funny, and I think you have a lot of talent and would make a terrific contributor - but this prank cannot go unpunished. When you come off it, say hello, and come join us in editing this encyclopedia constructively. - CrazyRussian talk/email 14:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: your email, I'm glad that you're on board with the block. There is a Hall of Fame for hoaxes here, but yours is probably not that funny - it's more impressive than it is funny. I predict that you will be a terrific user if you decide to stay. I have unblocked you. Welcome. - CrazyRussian talk/email 18:44, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] September 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Root beer, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Thank you. ► DRTïllberġ ◄Talk 04:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Pi, you will be blocked from editing. You similarly vandalized Asbestos, Tire iron, Fire extinguisher, and MacGyver. Please try to make some constructive contributions. Thanks. ► DRTïllberġ ◄Talk 04:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
