[edit]IP address 86.139.72.51 Special:Contributions/86.139.72.51, on March 12th you made this edit. The log is rather unambiguous. There as also an immediately previous edit by 86.16.132.95 that also vandalized the Enola Gay article. [1]
If this IP address is a shared IP address or dynamically assigned by your ISP, this happens from time to time. If the IP address is not statically assigned to you it could have been another user. We warn IP addresses when they vandalize because not warning them is not acceptable behavior either. Sometimes another user gets the IP afterwards. We understand that.
All of that said, there is still a problem. You left two comments on my user talk page:
- this first one from 86.139.72.51 where you said "Oi moron. You've just blcoked me from editing for 48 hours when the thing I just added was completely correct and uncontentious. It also stated it was for editing an article I've not been on before until today. Sort yourself out."
- this second one from your user account here where you said "As I have told you before, you whey-faced poltroon; until you messaged me re ALLEGED graffiti on 'Enola Gay', I had never looked at that article let alone defaced it. Also my entry on the Kooks article is a true statement. They have received many negative critiques regarding their background and affected singing style. Furthermore, it is one of the things they are quite famous for in Britain. Check your facts before you indulge in reactionary reflex based on a contentious statement. Love it or hate, the Kooks do have this cloud over them. Buffoon. Umbongo82 (talk) 22:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)"
Calling other Wikipedia users "moron", "whey-faced poltroon", "buffoon" and the like are unacceptable behavior on Wikipedia. Our policy on civil editing and our policy against making personal attacks are firm policies on this project. Insulting people is not an acceptable method of communications on this project. Doing so degrades communications within the project and tends to drive other editors away from the project.
You obviously got off on the wrong foot here, assuming good faith about you that you are a different person than the IP editor who first edited the Enola Gay article earlier. That gives you some leeway here - you could legitimately not have understood what was happening with that.
However, your choice to launch into multiple insults once you found that, rather than asking politely and in a responsible adult manner what was going on, is your responsibility.
We expect anyone who is going to be part of the Wikipedia project to act in a civil, responsible, and cooperative manner with the other editors here. So far, you are chosing to be confrontational and butt heads instead.
Please consider this message to be a notification about our policies regarding civil and polite editing, and a warning that further abusive behavior is not acceptable. If you continue making insults and threats, eventually I or another Wikipedia administrator will block you for doing so. We expect all our editors to do better than that.
I am assuming that you can review the situation and your behavior, look at the Wikipedia policies, and make an effort to contribute here in a positive manner going forwards. If you do not think that you can do so, please consider whether this is a project you really belong on. If you keep abusing people, eventually we block you for short periods of time, and eventually if it keeps up we block you permanently. If you don't think that you can act in an adult and constructive manner, I recommend that you simply walk away from the project. Our policies are not zero-tolerance - you are getting a pass here for the moment - but we do not permit ongoing abusive behavior. If you can't behave constructively then it's better if you chose to do so somewhere else, rather than force us to block you.
Thank you. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 21:27, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
