Warning vandals
As per this -- WP:WARN describes the proper method for warning and reporting vandals. That's not how to do it, and the user hadn't received a final warning yet. However, thank you very much for the good intentions! As long as you act in good faith, as you are now, you'll pick up policy as you go, so no worries. Happy editing! (And vandal-warning) Gscshoyru 05:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.Gunnerdevil4 05:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Re: Barnstar
- Thanks and you're welcome... or you're welcome and thanks. In some order :) Gscshoyru 01:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism??
Which unconstructive edits have I done?! I really do not understand, sorry. --Giovanni Giove 23:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Block template
Hey, don't add indefinite block templates to talk pages or user pages without checking to see if the user or IP is in fact, blocked indefinitely. It gives a false impression to other users. Kwsn (Ni!) 00:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think your mistaken since everyone Ive warned today were new users. Or are you talking about other days?Gunnerdevil4 00:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- I mean in the past yes. Kwsn (Ni!) 01:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks Gunnerdevil4 01:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, such as in User talk:70.190.20.178, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. 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. Nn123645 03:30, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
You might want to consider using Twinkle for vandal warnings, it makes things a whole lot faster. Twinkle can be found here: WP:TW. Nn123645 03:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Battle of Thermopylae
Hello buddy. You deleted the sentence on the Thebans being held hostage. If you had read Book vii you would have immediately realized that their being there unwillingly is a theme developed by Herodotus at many locations throughout Book 7. Some things you do not have to source because they are generally known and basic to the subject. I could easily source it and so can you. However I am going to let it stand for other reasons. There is no need to clutter up the article with this marginal statement at this point. I see that you seem to be interested more in the "cop" end of Misplaced Pages editing. That interest will lead to system administration after a great many more edits and experience at dealing with Wikipedian editors. You can propose yourself also I believe for administration, but if I were you I would get more experience. For this one I think you might have read Book vii, containing the main topic. Now for the Spartan casualties, here is a problem for you to consider. What should the solution be? In one source one man was sent back as messenger and he later committed suicide. In another source two men were invalided out for eye infections but one ran back and was killed while the other committed suicide. Is the suicide a casualty? That number keeps being batted back and forth. Now, the box was intended for general numbers and I think it is perfectly OK to round off to 300, especially as I consider the suicide a casualty. Let me ask you, are you engaging in number batting from conviction or from something else? You don't need to answer, I am just saying, maybe you should consider your motives. Number batting can go on for some time. This is a long response but it seems to me there might be a chance it is worth it.Dave 12:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Albus Dumbledore
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Thank you for experimenting with the page Albus Dumbledore, and for reverting your edits. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. In the future, please do not experiment on article pages; instead, use the sandbox. Thank you.

- You put in the article that he was bisexual. When was that ever stated? Considering the amount that article get messed with, it looked like vandalism to me. My apologies. V-train 17:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
- That article says he is gay. The word bisexual doesn't appear anywhere on that webpage. V-train 18:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- Bisexual and gay are very much NOT the same thing. V-train 18:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Your bizarre warning
Who are you, what the hell are you talking about, and what authority are you claiming for your rather bizarre warning template on my talk page? --Calton | Talk 04:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I do not remember which one, but you did comment on a persons user page. You have to use the talk section ya know. And no further comment on your other question. Feel free to contest this "warning" but it will do you no good. But just in case I made a mistake, I will withdraw the warning.
- In other words, you don't know why you added the warning, have no rationale to back up said warning, don't know how to properly warn people generally, and (as a quick glance at your edit history shows) haven't the slightest authority -- assigned, moral, historical, or experience -- to blather on about how "contest this "warning"...will do no good. Does that about sum it up?
- It's not a question if "if" you made a mistake, it's only a question of how big, and why.
- Tip: I -- literally -- have at least 120 times more edits in my history than you do and I've been here three times longer, so yeah, I think I do know what I'm talking about. --Calton | Talk 05:05, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- You know, I can warn you now for not assuming good faith.
- Another gap in your knowledge. It's "not assuming good faith in the absence of evidence to the contrary": looks like you left off the important bit. And given that the evidence -- and your own declaration -- is that you don't know why you added the warning, have no rationale to back up said warning, don't know how to properly warn people generally, and (as a quick glance at your edit history shows) haven't the slightest authority -- assigned, moral, historical, or experience -- to blather on about how "contest this "warning"...will do no good", I'd say, yeah, your "warning" would be mocked, perhaps mercilessly. --Calton | Talk 05:19, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- I got plenty of evidence starting where you attacked me on my talk page!!
- No, I was responding to your bogus, unjustified -- and by your own admission, completely unsupported -- warning template on my talk page. That's not an attack -- though, arguably, a bogus, unjustified -- and by your own admission, completely unsupported -- final warning is.
- And for your info, I know how to warn people starting from vandalising to not assuming good faith
- Given the bogus, unjustified -- and by your own admission, completely unsupported -- warning template on my talk page, nope, you clearly don't -- as also shown by some other warnings I see above on this page.
- If you want to actually edit Misplaced Pages, fine. If all you want to do is play at authority you don't have, you might be happier elsewhere. --Calton | Talk 05:29, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Notice for User Wolf of the Steppes
I'm a bit confused here. Recently, you placed a block notice on Wolf of the Steppes talk page, however, it appears that your not an admin. I'm not sure why you did that, could you please explain? Thanks! Icestorm815 05:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
