Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 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! --SineBot (talk) 07:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

This template must be substituted. Replace {{Cfd-notify ...}} with {{subst:Cfd-notify ...}}.

All those little towns in California

Thanks very much for creating all these articles! One thing, though: it will help all of us if you put the names in alphabetical order. Nyttend (talk) 05:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm familiar enough with that to know that it can be quite difficult for you. Thanks for doing your best to improve this encyclopedia! Nyttend (talk) 13:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

The hizzle

A tag has been placed on The hizzle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Onorem♠Dil 14:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

If all you need is some time to source it, try actually finding a source instead of wasting spending the time to ask questions like "can marijuana be consumed anally"... --Onorem♠Dil 19:24, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm removing the Clinton portion from the disambiguation page per WP:BLP. No 7 days required. Oh, and please see WP:NPA. --Onorem♠Dil 19:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I changed my wording from above. It's still my opinion that it was a waste of time, but that doesn't mean people might not have legitimate interest in the question. --Onorem♠Dil 19:36, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop the personal attacks

Your edit summary here is an unacceptable personal attack - referring to another editor as having "poor cognitive abilities" is unnecessarily offensive. Please stop, we ask that all editors remain civil in their interactions. Unfortunately if you are not able to remain calm and civil in your work with other editors you may be blocked from editing. Thanks, Gwernol 19:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

February 2008

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at Purple Haze (marijuana), you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Gwernol 19:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Its very easy to see your own contributions in case you forgot what you typed about 4 minutes ago. Simply click on the "User contributions" link on the left and you can see every contribution you made. I was referring specifically to this edit summary, just to be clear. Gwernol 20:02, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. You're right about that edit summary and I have struck this specific warning, although you are still not permitted to make personal attacks, of course. On a different matter, WP:BLP absolutely does apply to your attempted edit to The hizzle (disambiguation), I'm afraid. Please don't add this back unless you have a independent published source for it. Thanks, Gwernol 20:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD notice on HillRaisers

Hi Boomgaylove,

Please do not add the AfD notice back to HillRaisers; I closed the deletion discussion per the procedure for non-admin closures based on the overwhelming consensus to keep. If you disagree with my call, you are welcome to take it to deletion review. Thank you. --jonny-mt 01:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to your message on my talk page. --jonny-mt 04:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Continued personal attacks

With regard to your comments on User talk:Jonny-mt: Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Gwernol 12:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Telling someone that they need to "get educated" is a clear personal attack. If you are unable to discuss issues in a civil manner and without resorting to personal attacks you will be blocked from editing again and it won't be just for 24 hours this time.

Potrero Hills has been protected

Hi Boomgaylove,

Given the ongoing edit war at Potrero Hills, I requested that the page be protected. User:E has since granted that request, and so I suggest you use the interim to hammer out a compromise over the capitalization question. Thanks. --jonny-mt 09:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism warnings

Hi, the recent edit you made to Misplaced Pages:Reference desk/Archives/Language/2008 February 14 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:55, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Víctor Castro constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 01:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC))

Well you just added biological warefare randomly on the first one (that's why it was reverted). On the second one, I changed the title of the page (so it now has an accent). - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Luís Antonio Argüello. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Mistake there :( - Milk's Favorite Cookie 02:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

• (edit conflict) Just as a note, I've been reviewing the edits of this user (who also appears to edit as User talk:71.142.64.177, an IP that has also been blocked recently) for the past few minutes. I can't say that I would call any of this vandalism. It seems to be enthusiastic but occasionally odd editing, in the middle of a bunch of useful contributions. So I'm confused.
