November 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Otaku has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Jonathan Hall (talk) 10:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Otaku. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 10:46, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Glossary of pinball terms, you will be blocked from editing. --DAJF (talk) 11:21, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Otaku

Just because a word or phrase originates in a foreign language doesn't mean it's automatically deleted . Just look at Category:Japanese words and phrases. Your description of a 23KB+ article as a "dicktionary" (ha ha) definition is frankly baffling. The "precedent" you cite seems from the discussion to genuinely have been a dicdef, although obviously I can't look at it, and anyway Wikipedia doesn't work on precedent - WP:WAX. The proper place for such discussion is the talk page, not the article. Jonathan Hall (talk) 10:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, I'm not a bot, and I don't run one. I use Huggle, which is a tool for allowing faster revertion of vandalism, but which leaves the decisions to the user. Jonathan Hall (talk) 10:59, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Huggle

Sorry about that, I didn't know how much you knew, and it seemed better to tell you too much than not enough. Jonathan Hall (talk) 11:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked 24 hours

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that if you return and continue to change the blocking templates at other user talk pages, or add false ones elsewhere you will be blocked for an indefinite period.--VS ^talk 21:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOCK

Please do not encourage abusive sockpuppetry. Accounts created to evade blocks will most likely be blocked.--Ashbey_{…whisper…} 14:03, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Tomboy. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. disruptive editing at redirects related to Tomboy --VS ^talk 08:18, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
