Again, welcome! -- Steel 17:24, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

It seems to me that you are acting in an uncivil manner. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigating edit wars. DXRAW 21:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


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 may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Please stop putting inflammatory comments in your editing summaries, like you did here, and in many other edits. --Lijnema 13:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to RMS Titanic in popular culture. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 22:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


Please do not make personal attacks on other people, as you did at Zara Phillips. Wikipedia has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by admins or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. Gwernol 21:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. If you continue to make personal attacks, as you did at Zara Phillips, you will be blocked for disruption. Gwernol 16:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked for continued personal attacks and incivility

Your use of edit summaries is entirely inappropriate. You continue to be extremely incivil and make continued personal attacks in your edit summaries despite many warnings. As a result you have been blocked for 24 hours. When you return, please refrain from attacking other editors and remain calm and civil. Thanks, Gwernol 18:41, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] JV

My edit summary at Jan Verhaas shows why I reverted your changes. Deizio talk 15:44, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

"Destructive ego"? Care to explain this comment? I can back up my changes with reference to policy (WP:V for a start), can you explain your edit summary with reference to WP:CIVIL? Deizio talk 16:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Having reviewed some of your recent edits I would advise you to be very careful in your choice of words in edit summaries from now on. Further displays of incivil, patronising and/or unconstructive summaries will lead to further blocks without warning. Deizio talk 16:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Steve, I will back up what Deiz says. You are continuing the be extremely uncivil in your edit summaries and continuing to make offensive personal attacks on other editors. If you do not stop doing this, you will be blocked again and this time, given the continued warnings and chances you have been given, it will be for a considerably longer period of time. Personal attacks and incivility are deeply damaging to Wikipedia. Please reconsider your actions. Thanks, Gwernol 17:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Username

Hi, it has been brought to my attention that Steve Brookstein is a celebrity. Per Wikipedia:Username, it is inappropriate to use the names of living celebrities as usernames. Unless / until you have proof that you are the celebrity, this account will be blocked. Please choose a new username and take note of your previous problems if you wish to continue editing. It would be very good form on your part to disclose here or on my talkpage the new username you adopt, if any. Deizio talk 02:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
