Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to .22 Long Rifle, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. removal of correct information with no explanation is not warranted. NJGW (talk) 16:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Next time use an edit summery and a named account buddy; saves everyone the trouble thinking some anon-IP is removing info for no reason. NJGW (talk) 14:29, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: User talk:NJGW. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Redfarmer (talk) 11:57, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

    • You were not warned for making a good faith edit. You were warned for making what was clearly an abusive and unnecessary attack on the person who warned you for said edit. If the person reverted you by mistake, the proper thing to do would have been to calmly inform the user of their mistake without using homophobic and abusive language.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at User talk:124.169.74.207, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Redfarmer (talk) 14:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I'm so very, very scared. If only there was some way out of the Wikipedia Automatic Reverting Cartel's clumsy IP ban! 124.169.74.207 (talk) 23:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
There is. It's called using edit summaries and not being offensive. Oh, unless you mean ways to illicitly get around an in-situ ban... well, if you're planning on getting blocked then we can always discuss those other tactics as well. NJGW (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
