Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Someone using this IP address has made unhelpful edits to the page Airbus A380, which have been reverted. If you did this, in the future please try to contribute in a more constructive manner. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Misplaced Pages, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you. Some good links for newcomers are:
Please sign your name on talk pages using four (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and timestamp. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place Again, welcome! Dave 13:51, 12 April 2011 (UTC) |
So the Misplaced Pages definition of "Vandalism" now extends to "good faith efforts to include relevant information in an article." And by "relevant" I mean the information I went to Misplaced Pages to find in the first place? Great. Suggest that alienating users who make good-faith changes not a sound long-term strategy, Dave.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Airbus A380, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Misplaced Pages:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

- If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at Airbus A380. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Dave 13:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Airbus A380, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dave 13:57, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Airbus A380. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dave 14:00, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

And you're going to ban shared Harvard IP addresses? Good work.
You know, Dave, if you dispute my edits, why not try to constructively improve them, rather than removing my contribution all together? It's not very collaborative to simply block out my voice. The A380 incident is being widely reported in the press - front page of the NYTimes - so in my view counts as an incident.
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Airbus A380, you may be blocked from editing. Denniss (talk) 14:05, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
