[[Image:Information.png|25px]] Welcome to Wikipedia. The <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Browns?diff=221446540 recent edit]</span> you made to [[:Cleveland Browns]] has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. You may also wish to read the [[Wikipedia:Introduction|introduction to editing]]. Thanks. <!-- Template:uw-huggle1 --> [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

[[Image:Information.png|25px]] The <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Braun?diff=221447763 recent edit]</span> you made to [[:Eva Braun]] constitutes [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]], and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]] for testing. Thanks. <!-- Template:uw-huggle2 --> [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:16, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|25px]] Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Quayle?diff=221448732 this edit]</span> to [[:Dan Quayle]]. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. <!-- Template:uw-huggle3 --> [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

Don't you think it's insulting to replace someone's profile image by that of a toilet? [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

:Dude, this is an encyclopaedia, not your next graffiti wall. [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::The wording of the above three warnings is templated... I didn't write them myself. And, humour or not, it wasn't a nice thing to do, considering that this encyclopaedia is viewed by millions. [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 15:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::Because a fraction of the vandalism is missed, and when that happens, it's not the first time that the incident gets picked up by the media, to the detriment of Wikipedia's reputation. [http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/display.var.2329841.0.0.php This] is the result of what was probably meant as a harmless joke, just like yours. How would you feel if we were to get a news headline "Wikipedia promotes former US vice president to a toilet seat"? Would it make you proud? [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 16:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::::Precisely. And one of the ways we try to prevent that from happening is by being stern with people like you. Oh, by the way, the final warning below is serious. I would advise you not to target any more well-known and famous; <s>however, if you want to go ahead and see what happens, be my guest :)</s> [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 16:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::::I wouldn't have scolded you if you hadn't tried to excuse yourself, and I still find it irresponsible that others have encouraged your behaviour by condoning your jokes, irrespective of their perceived harmlessness. [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 17:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Well, now that I've shown you my stance on the matter, you know who to avoid :) Unless you decide to contribute positively, in which case, feel free to contact me again. [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 17:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

You misunderstood my comments and clearly fail to understand basic policy. ''Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a '''deliberate attempt''' to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia.'' Joking on a talk page has little to no impact, adding malicious edits to the article is vandalism plain and simple.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk pages]] and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should [[Wikipedia:Signatures|sign your posts]] by typing four [[tilde]]s ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!<!-- Template:Tilde --> --[[User:SineBot|SineBot]] ([[User talk:SineBot|talk]]) 15:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

[[Image:Stop hand nuvola.svg|25px]] '''This is your last warning'''. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotiabank_Place?diff=221458281 this edit]</span> to [[:Scotiabank Place]]. <!-- Template:uw-huggle4 --> [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 16:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC) |

{{unblock reviewed|1=This was done as part of a personal dispute. My vandalism stopped after my final warning.|decline=No wikilawyering out of the block; final warnings, level 3 warnings aren't compulsory, blocks are at the administrator's discretion. And, given you show no remorse, nor excuse for your actions, the block stands. [[User:Woody|Woody]] ([[User talk:Woody|talk]]) 18:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)}} |

{{unblock reviewed|1=I might not have shown explicit remorse, but I did show respect in that my vandalism came to an abrupt halt. And you cannot deny that the only reason a block came down on me was through a civil yet personal dispute, which whether you like it or not, is not an acceptable reason to block someone under wikipedia policy. By rule, the administrator discretion was incorrect. It would have been accepatable had I been banned as a result of pure vandalism. But it was not severe enough to cause a ban or else I would have been banned after it occured. However, there was a pause for personal dispute and that is when the illegal ban took place.|decline=Not only can I deny this line of reasoning, but I do. Contributions show two things: 1) vandalism, 2) trying to call vandalism an edit dispute (i.e., soft trolling). And, of course, more wikilawyering. Next time, try doing something useful to the encyclopedia, and you won't get blocked. — [[User:The Evil Spartan|The Evil Spartan]] ([[User talk:The Evil Spartan|talk]]) 18:44, 24 June 2008 (UTC)}} |
