[edit] Warning to 83.221.192.34

In regard to my resent vandalism warning to 83.221.192.34 I feel I own a explanation. Several factors went into this decision:

1. User contributions from this user have all been in form of in-appropriate external links.

2. A neutral warning regarding this was posted to the user's talk page on November 8, 2006 11:07.

3. On Decemeber 6 2006 this user once again posted inappropriate unmarked forgien language links to Device driver.

[edit] Gribble

I don't know whether it's something you've got control over, or whether it's a wikEd issue, but your edit to gribble [1] had to be almost entirely reverted. Lists in taxoboxes need to be spaced with <br /> tags to format correctly, and changing an article between different (consistent) spelling systems is not considered good form (see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English). --Stemonitis 12:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

First off my I would like to appoligize for the spelling change I was not aware of this particure variant. I will be more carefull in the future. The format change apears to be an issue with wikEd as the script did that. I try to avoid using the automated replacement features for just this reason you never know what they will do by mistake.

[edit] Wikipedia:Redirects to be made

Hi, Phatom! I wanted to thank you for your attention to Wikipedia:Redirects to be made. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding. The purpose of the RTBM page is to create the appropriate redirects after an article has been created -- not before. Redirects created before the article they point to has been created are in fact subject to speedy deletion. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
