[edit] No Personal Attacks

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy: There is no excuse for personal attacks on other contributors. Do not make them. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that you may be blocked for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thanks, -- gtdp (T)/(C) 18:43, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. (Note: this includes personal attacks and deleting warnings from talkpages, which you have done). — Deckiller 03:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove messages from your talk page. Talk pages exist as a record of communication, and in any case, comments are available through the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted comments. Thanks. Road Wizard 06:11, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Megaproject

Hi. I noticed that you removed the possible copyright violation notice from the Megaproject article. Unfortunately, the issue of whether it is a violation has not yet been settled, so I have restored the warning message. If you have evidence that it is not a violation then please present it. If you want to write a new version of the article free from copyright problems, then you are welcome to do so on the temporary page linked to from the warning message. Finally, if you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks. Road Wizard 04:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Documentum, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie Talk 06:48, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

A person does not have to be notable in order for them to create notable critical commentary on a subject. For example, bloggers Ed Bott, Robert McLaws, and Ryan Hoffman may not be notable people, but they certainly make valid points about Paul Thurrott that deserve mention in Thurrott's Wikipedia article. Also, Ed Bott is the author of a number of books about computer software. —Remember the dot (t) 17:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Civility

Don't say things like "idiot references", please. See WP:CIV. — Omegatron 15:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:POTKETTLEBLACK is not policy

Your edit summaries have mentioned removing "useless", "retarded", and "idiot"ic content -- so what's one to make of this eminently useful comment? --EEMeltonIV 05:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brannon Braga

Hey, maybe next time you find a broken URL you could just fix the URL instead of deleting a whole section from the article. Just a thought. AlistairMcMillan 01:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit summaries

Hi. I've just seen your edit history. Can you please refrain from making personal attacks on your fellow-editors, assume some good faith on their part and maybe focus on content rather than the person editing? Thanks - Alison ☺ 22:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] June 2007

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 22:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I believe you have been warned fairly about this many times in the past. Consider this a final warning. It is also at ANI for discussion.

[edit] Apology

My sincerest apologies. My placing a warning about personal attacks on your user page was an honest mistake on my part. I shall now place it here on your talk page where it belongs. Yeanold Viskersenn 01:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal attacks

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. Yeanold Viskersenn 01:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

To put a reference to this comment and to add my suggestion to avoid the use of terms such as "idiotic" and "moron"; this is in reference to a disagreement over the inclusion of an image in Student and relates to comments included in edit summaries as well as on the discussion page of the article. I will agree with you that the image does not add to the article and should be deleted, but a bit more civil language would be appreciated. Thank you for taking this into consideration. Dbiel (Talk) 02:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Persistent personal attacks, in spite of repeated warnings

Your edits over the past year or so have in my eyes benefited our project overall, and for that I thank you warmly on behalf of the entire Wikipedia community. It is people like you who help drive Wikipedia inexorably towards our unreachable goal - the one of assembling all human knowledge in free electronic form, for the benefit of humankind as a whole.

However, any benefits you have bestowed on the project have been vastly outweighed by the rude, callous, right-wing, racist dialogue you have had with fellow Wikipedians. From your first comment, "That's something only an idiot would say. If you're stupid enough to believe that, then you really do deserve the fate your country has brought on itself." through to "thas bs[sic]", to "No one cares", and of course your demands that certain articles be locked or unlocked. Wikipedia works as a community, a concept I can see you may be having trouble with. I strongly suggest that you re-read certain policies, and then come back to the discussions you are involved in with a new outlook. You should also consider this a friendly warning for violating the spirit of WP:3RR. Hawker Typhoon 21:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to remove content from pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 86.29.241.12 17:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

Hi - I was wondering your exact reasons for being quite so... brusque? I'm not warning you, but I was wondering if you had a response to these comments - obviously people are concerned, and you're hardly doing yourself favours! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 20:02, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Student japes.jpg and article Student

I see the the issue of using Image:Student japes.jpg in article Student is back. Was wondering if you wanted to participate again? I did try to summarize the debate. I am considering moving it to some form of conflict resolution. Dbiel (Talk) 14:07, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: "Idiotic article to feature" on Talk:Religious debates over Harry Potter

Scott, obviously you have something against Harry Potter and I don't, so I'll do my best to give an objective response to your posting. As you yourself wrote, "Wikipedia contains articles on a diverse range of topics." This is absolutely true. As such, we feature diverse articles about diverse subjects to attract diverse audiences. Please read the article and see how well-written, factually accurate, comprehensive, neutral, and informative it is. Yesterday's featured article was Ladakh -- I didn't even know what it meant. But I always browser through the day's featured article, and learned some things I never would have known about Ladakh. I hope you can broaden your mind to accept that Wikipedia's entire purpose is to expand knowledge of all areas. If you want to go learn about what some elitists consider the only important subjects, go right ahead to WP:FA#Biology and medicine or WP:FA#Law. Best, Fbv65edel — t — c // 07:01, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Personally I don't agree Fbv65's comment and your comment. We don't really have featured articles on a diverse range of topics. We have very few featured articles on topics such as China, Africa, Brazil or much of the non English speaking developing world. We also have very few articles on more hard core science areas. If you want to see more diverse articles on the main page you really need to do something about it such as help make these articles into FAs Nil Einne (talk) 08:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
I think it's cool to have in-depth articles about fringe topics. That said, there have been several very bad featured articles in the past few months. If you'd like to help stop this, other than simply helping to make good articles into Featured articles, you can also hang out at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates and help shoot down the bad articles. We really can use the help over there in the shoot-downs; it really seems to me like 1 dedicated fanatic can get a really bad subject featured, because there aren't enough editors to vote against the bad ideas. It is not a popular place for Wikipedia editors to contribute with votes currently. Tempshill (talk) 16:58, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
