Vandal ?

As you can read in the official Misplaced Pages policy on verifiability:

The threshold for inclusion in Misplaced Pages is verifiability, not truth.

I'm sorry if this is news for you, but nobody cares about your opinion on the matter, whether it is true or not. I am somewhat amazed that you do not realize that a sentence like the one you added does not belong in an encyclopedic article. For almost any subject – Brussels sprouts, songs by Frank Sinatra, the leather culture, you name it – there are lots of people who hate it. There are also lots of people who like it. And there are lots of people who are indifferent. Even if we could find reliable sources for these statements, do you think it is worth adding this to the articles on these topics? Most people who "hate math" are taking mathematics in school as a compulsory subject; what they actually hate is not mathematics itself, but the way it is being taught in school. An article on the relationship between how maths is taught and how it is received by the students could be an interesting article in our encyclopedia, but only if it is based on analyses provided in reliable sources.

If you were not aware of the Misplaced Pages policy on verifiability – but every editor ought to know the five pillars of Misplaced Pages – then perhaps your second edit was not vandalism. But if you continue to add it, as you threatened to do, not only would you be violating the verifiabilty policy and the policy against "original research", but you'd also be edit warring, which by itself is also against policy. Doing so would definitely qualify as vandalism. Please make yourself familiar with the Misplaced Pages core policies and guidelines, and always assume good faith and aim at reaching consensus. Happy editing!  --Lambiam 09:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

November 2008

Thanks for experimenting with the page Not Another Teen Movie on Misplaced Pages. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, and has been reverted or removed. All information in the encyclopedia must be verifiable in a reliable published source. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you.

January 2009

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Not Another Teen Movie. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. This is the second warning you have received about this exact same misinformation. If you believe I am in error, you need to provide a source for this information. (Note: don't bother looking for one because the woman in the movie is clearly not Ally Sheedy.)

Quotes in Watchmen

You know, when a word appears in the brackets it is because it wasn't part of the original quote. If you adjust a quote to fit a sentence then you must make sure you note that in the quote (i.e. placing brackets around the adjust part). This is done in some instances where the tense doesn't fit the passage it is used in, or a person was not identified in that particular sentence. You are not allowed to adjust quotes without pointing out what you have adjusted (i.e. without putting brackets on). 156.75.192.109 (talk) 15:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Superjail.

You cannot substantiate the edits you are making to the article. Please stop adding your personal opinions and speculation to the article. ThuranX (talk) 20:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Again, stop. YOu cannot provide citation that they are scandanavian, you are disrupting the direct quote, and you are adding your opinions. all of these are things which make the article worse, not better. ThuranX (talk) 03:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I have watched the show, you hjave no sources. Further, pelase leave messages on a user's TALK page, not his front page. ThuranX (talk) 05:40, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Stop adding material which cannot be supported by citation to the article, and stop making personal attacks against me. If either event occurs again, I will bring this to the attention of administrators. ThuranX (talk) 19:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009
