Your offensive comment on User:Scientizzle has been reverted.

It seems to me that you are being uncivil in pages like User talk:Allen3, so I'd like to remind you to be civil and not to create personal attacks or take part in edit wars. -- Scientizzle 19:59, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comments should be left on users talk pages not on thier user pages (click the tag that says "discussion". They should be polite and calm! I don't know what this is about, but you cannot behave in this manner on Wikipedia. if you explain the problem to me i willtry and help you, but if you post any more abusive messages I will block you.

Your edits to Fuct

Your recent edit to Fuct was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. 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. Thanks. Kukin i 05:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In order to understand the wikipedia community and norms...

Please go read some of the links given to you in the "welcome" above. There are several thousand editors in wikipedia. As you may be discovering, little happens unnoticed for long. We welcome your knowledge and expertise. Happy writing/editing, Kukin i 05:51, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response

I have removed your offensive comment from my talk page. If you continue to leave similar comments you will be blocked again. Oh, and to answer your questions, I am not too familiar with Mr. Brunetti, and only marginally familiar with the clothing brand Fuct, but I know WP:COPYRIGHT states explicitly that one cannot post on Wikipedia copyrighted material without consent of the holder of said copyright. Read the policy, and try to add something useful. And don't be a dick. -- Scientizzle 05:53, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to be civil here, but it seems you need this spelled out for you.

Your edits to Fuct were complete cut & paste copyright violations--you lifted the text straight from copyrighted UrbanDictionary. That is why they were reverted.
Your subsequent blanking of the Fuct article is considered vandalism.
The content on Erik Brunetti is another clear case of cut & paste, this time from http://www.brghtnghts.com/blog/, which has "copyright2006 BRGHTNGHTS" at the bottom of the page. Therefore, unless you are the proprietor of BRGHTNGHTS, you must obtain explicit permission to reprint the material from owner of the blog.
1. NOTE: if you are, in fact, "Emmy Lou Paris" (who presumably wrote the content of the post) or the blog's owner, you should read this to follow the Wikipedia protocols on reprinting copyrighted material.
Here's the rub: all of this could have been avoided, and future problems will be avoided, if you'd just write some original material! I mean, sweet Jesus, instead of being obtuse, you could have written brand new material incorporating all the information you've got on these topics (conforming to WP:STYLE, WP:VERIFIABLE & WP:NPOV, of course) that nobody would have had a problem with, assuming the subject(s) meet WP:NOTABILITY.
If you continue to vandalize editors' talk pages you will be blocked.
I will not "keep away from the FUCT page."
If you want help, I, and many other editors, are perfectly willing to assist any new editors. The goal here is simple: create an actual encyclopedia, with appropriate notable content, that is always accessible and up-to-date. We want you to contribute, but that means you've got to work with everyone else and be willing to abide by the set rules of Wikipedia. -- Scientizzle 07:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few thoughts...

As noted above, you might want to take care on copyright issues and please consider signing your edits in talk pages with four tildes as noted in the welcome at the top of this page. This is how you see who wrote this comment to you. I hope this is of help. Best, Kukin i 06:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some questions

You say the material that is being deleted is not copyrighted yes?

Yet the blog it was lifted from states that it was written by Emmy Lou Paris. Your name is Elle Rosenthal so you are not the person who wrote the material no? So how can you claim it's not copyrighted? I don't understand. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 10:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Getting your info out there

Brighton58,

Please go up and read all the links in "getting your info out there." You may post as you like, but if the copyright is called to question, or if the verifiability of what you write is in question, it will not last long in Wikipedia. You are more than welcome to write here, but there are some rules by which we all abide. You will find FAR LESS resistance to your work if you post per the help given in those links. Nearly everyone here respects and appreciates good writing and hard work. We do have people who spend time vandalizing as well, which forces us to be vigilant.

Also, it is important to realize that the moment you hit "save page," whatever you have written becomes public domain. That is to say, it no longer belongs to you. This rule applies to us all.

Finally, you will also find far more respect when you begin signing your posts on user talk pages (such as this) with 4 tildes. This allows others to not have to do extra work to respond to you. -- Kukin i 12:43, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Signing

Hi, Isn't this an amazing place? I love it, but it's difficult too. I have been trying to follow your recent and fascinating discussions which I stumbled across on Kukini's page (he was the first to welcome me so I look on him as a sort of guru). Could I ask you as a favour to me and other newcomers, to sign your dicussion points with the four tildes? This is so that I don't have to keep going into history to discover who is saying what. ThanksAbtract 16:23, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fuct...

I understand your frustration, believe me. However, the editors who keep deleting the pages are Administrators of this site, and they only want what's best for the encyclopedia. The reason that they keep deleting the page is because they suspect it of being a copyright vio (this was already explained to you). Even though you insist that it is not, we cannot simply take your word for it. Its not that we do not trust you. Its that it is better to be safe than sorry, right? What if (for some reason) the information on that website was copyrighted? Wikipedia could face legal action. We are simply trying to avoid that. If there is some way that you can prove that the information is legally yours, then yes, you could post it.

On a different note, though, I really did not tell Kungfuadam (talk · contribs) to unblock you. I advised him to shorten his block to under a month (I was pushing for him to abide by the policies). I know that you probably were very frustrated, but you really shouldn't have acted that way in the first place. I hope you can understand the policies and begin contributing positively to Wikipedia; I think that you have a lot to offer.

BTW, editors can know who has been blocked by accessing the block log. Only Administrators (like myself) can block or unblock vandals.

Lastly, dont forget to sign your posts on talkpages. All you have to do is enter four tildés (~~~~) after your messages.

Thanx for the compliment ;-) Oran e (t) (c) (e) 22:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Removing_warnings#Vandalism. "Removing warnings, whether for vandalism or other forms of prohibited/discouraged behavior, from one's talk page is also considered vandalism." Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to User talk:Brighton58. It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Scientizzle 23:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
