Removal of edits

Please do not remove my edits. It's vandalism. You have been warned. Morton devonshire 09:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Second Warning

Please do not remove my edits -- it's considered vandalism on Wikipedia. You and I may disagree on 9/11 conspiracy theory issues, but you don't have the right to supress my viewpoints. If you have a problem, please come to my talk page to discuss -- I've made friends with others who totally disagree with me, so don't assume that I'm your enemy. Thanks.

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 are considered vandalism, and 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. Thank you.

Justin you don't have the right to remove people's comments because you don't like them. If you have a real problem then you should ask an admin to do that. John Smith's 20:11, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Civility/NPA

In re: User talk:Morton devonshire, please remember that Wikipedia has a strict policy of No Personal Attacks under any circumstances. While I sympathize with your frustration here, you should bite your tongue rather than hurl epithets. All personal attacks will do is weaken your position and validate his. Continue to Be Bold, and to work towards making a better encyclopedia. Don't let other editors draw you into a flame war. Cheers, Dick Clark 14:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Please warn him as well not to personally attack me because I happened to edit out his trollish posts in the an article's discussion page. He even went as far as spamming my user page telling me "I have been warned" as if that was a threat of some sort. I deleted his message of course, but I want to let you know that he is one to be watched. I hope Wikipedia will be responsible enough to moderate his immaturity as it is becoming quite an irritant to other wikipedians. Justin Alvarez Jr. 14:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Look, don't worry about what his problems are. You are still new here (200 edits), so you are most likely to be taken seriously if you are long-suffering. Morton Devonshire, while someone I've certainly disagreed with in the past, is a more established editor (1935 edits). If you are going to be taken seriously, you need to always be civil. Even if another editor is less than civil that is not an excuse to start name-calling. Leave his messages on your talk page—if you are certain of the validity of your claims they'll be badges of honor for later. And by the way, editors "warn" other editors all the time. A warning for vandalism is usually a helpful prerequisite when dealing with actual vandals, but it is often an unofficial sanction used to let someone know that their contribution is considered controversial or counterproductive. Take a warning seriously, but recognize that it is not indicative of a cabal moving against you (WP:TINC). Also, always Assume Good Faith and try to see how seemingly bad faith edits could have been made with good intentions. Cheers, Dick Clark 15:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
