[edit] February 2008

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Janet Reno, you will be blocked from editing. Anastrophe (talk) 02:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Raoul Lowery. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 05:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 05:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to User:Anastrophe., you will be blocked from editing. your arguments are specious. you are providing no WP:RS as reference. you've also vandalized my user page, rather than posting your claim to my talk page. Anastrophe (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] butcher of waco

your source does not corroborate your claim, and is therefore unreliable. Anastrophe (talk) 19:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

furthermore, as a WP:BLP, your desire to add offensive material to the biography is trumped by policy. Anastrophe (talk) 19:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
"yahoo hits" is not a reliable reference, and cannot be used as such. your claims are specious. STOP. Anastrophe (talk) 19:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Janet Reno. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Hqb (talk) 19:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AIV

Please do not make reports to WP:AIV for content disputes. AIV is for reporting vandalism. - Rjd0060 (talk) 19:51, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I investigated your edits; I find that your allegation that Janet Reno is 'widely known as the Butcher of Waco' is unsubstantiated. The reference you give says that "a small number of Branch Davidians" refer to her as that; the number of hits for the phrase on yahoo and Google is very small for an alleged popular phrase.

As above, please use the article's talk page to resolve disputes. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


Consider yourself warned that further reversion of the article Janet Reno will result in a block for violation of the three revert rule. The vandalism exception does not apply in this case. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:56, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Raoul Lowery. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Anastrophe (talk) 19:55, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Curtis LeMay. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

Dates are usually enclosed in two square brackets, as in [[12 December]] or [[December 12]]. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Rules specific to dates and numbers can be seen in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on the web's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). Thank you. Jons63 (talk) 03:03, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Katharine Burr Blodgett, as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Jons63 (talk) 12:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] magnetic flux density

That article is part of a series on "orders of magnitude." See the template on the right. Please don't move it.

[edit] Atomic hydrogen

Your revert of my merge, calling it 'vandalism', was not appropriate. A while ago I found an old article called nascent hydrogen, and decided to merge it as it hardly got any attention under its previous title. Since atomic hydrogen is the same thing as nascent hydrogen, it should also be merged, and into the same section in hydrogen. This is what I did. The way, the truth, and the light (talk) 01:34, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Atomic hydrogen. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. EnviroboyTalkCs 03:57, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dispute over page Atomic hydrogen

Moving the text to the hydrogen article simply moved the dispute there. WikiProject Elements has been notified of this dispute and will try to resolve in favor of the best article quality. --mav (talk) 02:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Sylvia Stolz

Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —BradV 04:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
