Madness

Welcome to the madhouse; please say hello

Welcome

Hi, BLUNTBILL. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get started. Best of luck!

You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:BLUNTBILL/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ytcracker for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. → Dylan 620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 13:12, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits made during May 25 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Crab. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Erik9 (talk) 14:39, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2009

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Crab. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Alansohn (talk) 14:44, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Ward Melville High School. Alansohn (talk) 14:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing privileges have been suspended for 24 hours

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This is a really final final warning - you continue disrupting the encyclopedia upon the block expiry and the next one is indefinite. You are welcome to become a constructive editor should you desire, and you are equally welcome to go away if you don't. LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
