| ==Blocked== | |||
| I've blocked you. You do not appear to be here to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. The main reason for this block is because of you creating a new article with content taken from Amazon, which is a very serious legal problem. You are also causing disruption because of your edits, such as moving the Random Article Button back into the template namespace despite the MfD which was closed with the intention you move the content to your userspace rather than it be deleted. Your edits to Ignore All Rules is problematic and the fact you have made no useful edits to the mainspace recently leave me with the impression you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia, but to play with items in your userspace. You were given warning yesterday and before that this was coming, yet you choose to continue playing with Misplaced Pages. I and I assume my fellow administrators would much rather be writing content or uploading photographs instead of having to follow you around and tidy up after you, which is unfair on those of us who are here to contribute constructively and with minimum fuss. ] (]) 22:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
| : It has also come to my attention that you have vandalised from your IP address, then reverted your own vandalism with your account, presumably to build your edit count. This is in direct contravention of the sockpuppetry policy. Please consider that a further couple of reasons why you are now blocked. One such incident took place on March 11, to the "Today's Featured Article" (]). ] (]) 22:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| == Indef block seems a little extreme == | |||
| Nick definitely makes some strong points, and obviously a block is in order for restoring a page deleted by an MfD and all the rest. I think that indefinite is a bit strong for a first block. Is a block of, say, two weeks a possible compromise? It seems to me that Nothing444 means well--good intentions don't count for everything, no, but perhaps they merit a second chance. And N444, if the block is shortened, please consider yourself to be on probation and make some regular contributions. Recent changes patrol is a great place to start. A shorter block, whether by Nick or another admin, would not be an endorsement of your habits of continually starting new Wikiprojects and editing ], but a chance to start over as a calmer editor willing to walk before he runs. ] (]) 02:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

I certainly don't wish to keep someone who would wish to write content blocked indefinitely. ] (]) 07:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, N444. I nominated this redirect for deletion. See ]. I realize that it was probably created by mistake, but it's a redirect out of the main article space into Template space. We try to avoid whenever possible this kind of redirect, because it's possible for general readers of the encyclopedia to click on them (by hitting Random article, for instance), and get redirected out of article space. | |||
| I see by reviewing your contributions that you're doing a lot of article work, which is great. I'd advise you once again that this user page, social-networking kind of stuff, particularly when it has to get cleaned up, isn't a great thing for you right now. Please slow down and spend some more time working on the basics of the encyclopedia. It's good that you're contributing to AfD discussions for example, but you are not making recommendations based on policy. Why don't you read through all the articles in ], especially the "Article Standards"? You can then reference those articles and others commonly used in deletion discussions as you make recommendations. Take care, ] (]) 17:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC) | |||
