If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make any unconstructive edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant warnings.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Birdwatching, you will be blocked from editing. DiligentTerrier and friends 23:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't you think it'd be better to wait to issue the FINAL WARNING until I've *actually made an edit since receiving the first one*?

This is leaving aside entirely the fact that my original edit wasn't actually vandalism. Or that I actually did provide a reason for making it, contrary to what Mr. "First Warning" said.

Look, it was a bad edit; the small section I deleted does add a little something to the article, even if the section itself is overly prominent by any reasonable measure. The comment I left on the talk page is really pathetically posed, too, even if the main thrust of it is true.

None of that excuses the really thoughtless way in which you two incompetents mishandled the situation, though. I got a little too drunk and sloppy; you two presumably think you know what you're doing.

Whoops, I've made an edit now. DROP THE BANHAMMER!
