-[[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.

-[[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]].

-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; however, if you want to go ahead and see what happens, be my guest :) [[User:Gail|Gail]] ([[User talk:Gail|talk]]) 16:38, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
-==Your recent edits==
-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  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) 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)
