   Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Canadian special forces, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. -- Longhair 18:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Your recent edit to Germany (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 21:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Germany. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Sciurinæ 22:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. Please note that page blanking, addition of random text or spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, and repeated and blatant violation of WP:NPOV are considered vandalism. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may come back after the block expires. --Bigtop (tk|cb|em|ea) 16:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to Michael Kay, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Nlu (talk) 06:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy by personal attacks. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}}. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead. Syrthiss 13:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked for violations of Wikipedia:No personal attacks, which is stated in your block summary and right above where it says "You have been blocked". Ryūlóng 22:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I did not do it, other people are using my IP... I have some important edits to do. Pls unblock now. Thx

I saw an error from my BlackBerry and I can't make the edit thanks to this overzealous block... Thanks, guys. All us T-Mobile users thank you :-p --216.9.250.6 04:21, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

As has been mentioned above, if you registered, you'd be able to edit. We're getting too much vandalism from this IP. --Nlu (talk) 16:45, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for vandalizing Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. --Nlu (talk) 16:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

please reign in this excessive block

I have a BlackBerry with T-Mobile and thanks to this one week ban I'm being punished for some other user from who-knows-where. Please reign this in so folks like me won't find out were blocked after we write something substantial with these tiny keyboards. Ugh. --216.9.250.61 04:11, 31 August 2006 (UTC) (As an added insult, Blackberries don't have the style of bracket needed to use the unblock request)

Register and you won't be affected. --Nlu (talk) 06:14, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

The above IP comment was from me. Please see my follow-up on your talk page. Also, please understand that BlackBerries aren't convenient devices to log-in from. I found this above comment to be a little less than understanding. --Bobak 16:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to add the tag I wanted to add above for the sake of the sanity of Blackberry users: {{unblock|I have a BlackBerry with T-Mobile and thanks to this one week ban I'm being punished for some other user from who-knows-where.}} --Bobak 23:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reasons: Collateral damage due to this being a shared IP. Request handled by: Deathphoenix ʕ 01:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Please note, however, that I would fully support shorter blocks if the slightest bit of vandalism comes out of this IP address. If you have a problem with that, I strongly suggest that you contact RIM's abuse department so they can investigate these cases of vandalism or personal attacks, because we will block IP addresses to prevent vandalism and personal attacks, and there are a lot of those coming out of this IP address. --Deathphoenix ʕ 01:36, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Rather unfortunately, it is necessary at times to employ a softblock due to egregious vandalism, even over a shared proxy. If vandalism continues from this network, I fully endorse contacting the abuse department of Research in Motion — it should be no problem at all for their network group to quickly determine who the source of this vandalism is, and may be cause for account termination based on their acceptable use policies.

September 2006

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for repeated vandalism. If or when the block expires, feel free to come back, but please make useful contributions instead, and refrain from vandalizing or this account will face longer blocks, and action could be taken against the individual who uses it. You were blocked for making this edit to Hugh Jackman. If you are innocent and wish to prevent further blocks of this nature, I suggest that you contact the abuse department at RIM to see what they can do. The amount of bad faith edits coming out of this proxy is simply unacceptable. --Deathphoenix ʕ 13:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Gdo01 05:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with the page Girls Gone Wild on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. NCurse _work 05:25, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Revert

I reverted it because what you inserted into the article was not correct. Now I put a citation needed tag into that paragraph. Hope it solves the problem. [1] Thank you for your appreciation! NCurse _work 05:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I think you have. :) Right ALT + B or N. Or you can choose from the toolbox below the edit box. NCurse _work 05:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits made during October 5, 2006 (UTC) to Donald Rumsfeld

Please stop. If you continue to blank pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If this is an IP address, and it is shared by multiple users, ignore this warning if you did not make any unconstructive edits. Ryūlóng 21:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

unblock please

If you use a Blackberry, you DO NOT have the proper bracket type to ask for an unblock using the template. This block is already for too long. --216.9.250.6 03:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Haha! I finally figured out how to manage a "{" using the copy/paste command on my thumb roller :-) --216.9.250.6 04:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request.

Request reason: ""

Decline reason: "Please unblock, its apparently been for several days now and there are multiple users on here from all over (I assume) and please understand the plight of the non-PC user and/or those of us who do not wish to start an optional account --we already have had the ability to start articles taken away, and that I understood, but actions like this, this bullying by the blocking admin, I find troubling by such an otherwise altruistic collaborative project. Thank you."

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

After reviewing it myself for unblock review, this does seem like an overreaction. I've asked Can't sleep, clown will eat me (talk • contribs) to review his block. --  Netsnipe  ►  05:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

• are you making up requirements, "can't sleep, clown will eat me"? I have done nothing wrong, you are punishing multiple users with your by-all-intents hard ban and going against the spirit of Wikipedia. For what? Do you know how long it takes to bring up a page for us blackberry wielding executives? Are you one of us? From your actions, the answer is clearly "no". If you had a semblemce of our situation you would know that it us neigh impossible to go on a serious vandalism rampage with one of these things and that this extended block is excessive: causing more harm and ill will on behalf of Wikipedia than good. Don't tell a person how to live their life when you can't even be sure who you are writing to --let alone punishing... --216.9.250.6 03:56, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

This reads to me like pretty obvious trolling. If you have an account, log in and edit. Yamaguchi先生 06:01, 24 October 2006

how is it "pretty obvious trolling"? Such comments can just as well by "pretty obvious self-righteousness", thank you very much. And who deleted my legitamite, non-flame, non-trolling response (signed, no less) from the top of this talk page? What policy did that serve? All I want is the ability to edit again, sheesh... --216.9.250.61 06:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

No one is bullying you or anyone else here, and to say so is obvious trolling. If you wish to edit it is very simple, just log in. Yamaguchi先生 06:20, 24 October 2006

the policy of Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia anyone can edit, not "you must have an account" --or has this changed? Stop trying to maginalize me with your "troll"-calling banter. I am not a troll, this is a shared IP, the multiday block was excessive, simple as that. I'm just trying to fix the situation where its permitted under a block. Of course, your probably going to call this trolling also --216.9.250.6 06:31, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Major proxies used for vandalism are regularly blocked while allowing registered users to edit. Tor proxies are permanently blocked. As far as I am concerned this discussion is over. Yamaguchi先生 06:37, 24 October 2006

okay, now honestly...

What on earth happened?

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request.

Request reason: "I was apparently unblocked, there was an edit not by me earlier today which appears fine, and all I've done is make one talk page comment without an ounce of flame --I as soon as I tried to edit an error generated by this damned predictive text, I was apparently blocked again...I can't figure this out--216.9.250.6 03:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)"

Decline reason: "This IP is blocked for a month. Because it is shared, if you wish to edit, you will have to register for an account. —Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)"

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

please review

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but one or more administrators has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request.

Request reason: "this block is problematic for several reasons: (1) it turned from "several days" by the blocking admin into a month with no explanation, considering no negative actions have been done from the account since the initial ban that is problematic, (2) this is a shared IP, one month is a GWB-style interpretation of soft, and (3) how on earth am I supposed to stop the others who use (and will possibly further vandalize from) the account --please stop hitting me on the head with "get an account" until you deal with the burden of posting by phone"

Decline reason: "see above"

Administrators: This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

If this appeal to reason fails, I will stop using the unblock command. --216.9.250.6 04:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Without commenting on the block itself, it sounds like you haven't understood what's meant by "soft block" -- in this context, it means that the block is "anon-only," so that IP editors will be blocked, but logged-in editors will not. Account creation is also frozen. This is a fairly common idea, when it comes to problematic shared IPs; it forces you to register an account from somewhere else, unfortunately (friend's house, local library, school, wherever), but the benefit is that once you've done so, you won't be getting any more warnings meant for other people, and the boneheads vandalizing from this IP won't be your problem anymore, but ours. That's why we call it a soft block -- keep the vandals out, let the good contributors in, is the hope. For what it's worth, sorry for the trouble. Luna Santin 05:22, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

This is the discussion page for an anonymous user, identified by the user's numerical IP address. Some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. If you are an anonymous user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other anonymous users. Registering also hides your IP address.
