Vandalism warnings
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Brendan Loy, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. -- Scientizzle 21:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you disagree with the article then use the proper forums rather than vandalising it. Doing that will just lead to blocking. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 15:42, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Response from Scientizzle
[edit]Dear Scientizzle, I have read you work and am particularly impressed with your article on Trace Amine. Why you continue to defend the honor of Brendan Loy is puzzling. The person in addition to the subject matter are both completely beneath you. I apologize if this message is considered vandalism. If so, please tell me how to send messages properly.

- Thanks, I'm glad you liked the trace amine article. You correctly sent me a message by leaving this comment on my talk page.
- I don't know what you mean by "defend[ing] the honor of Brendan Loy". All I've done is revert vandalism to the article (yours included--you've vandalized it twice now) and vote "keep" (citing valid Wikipedia policies and guidelines) on a seemingly bad-faith deletion nomination. I've reverted vandalism on hundreds of articles and have a large number of often-vandalized articles on my watchlist, including Brendan Loy.
- Why do you even care if there's an article about Loy on Wikipedia? "The person in addition to the subject matter are both completely beneath" me? What? Why is this personal to you? You haven't shown much in the way of positive additions to Wikipedia, so it's hard believe that you're concerned much about the "scholarly purpose of this site". Your contributions show that you've (as this username) essentially only participated in complaining at Talk:Brendan Loy, actively vandalizing the article, a POV addition to (admittedly flawed) Prolotherapy, a nonsense addition at Talk:Penis game, and a nominal comments at Talk:Prolotherapy & Talk:Newt Gingrich—hardly a great resume.
- You and others (I'd bet IP:24.147.179.79 is also you as very similar content was added) continuing to vandalize the Loy article is not going to get it deleted. It's just bitter and puerile. If you're actually interested in positively contributing to this project, the please check out the welcome links at the top of your talk page. If you're not, just go away. -- Scientizzle 17:50, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Please see this response to your message. Thanks, Scientizzle 02:06, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Keep up the good work. You are doing an invaluable service to Wikipedia.
Scientizzle is blinded by his love for Loy and will defend him to no end under the guise of slavish dedication to wikipedia's standards for vandalism. Never mind the fact that he ignores those standards which relate to Loy's notability and contributions which would merit his inclusion in this forum in the first place. Hypocrisy abounds.
