This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, you will be blocked from editing. —DerHexer (Talk) 23:10, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


This is a "re-do". I responded to the previous message once before on "DerHexer"s talk page, but never got any sort of response, so, since I wound up with the same IP address again, which I discovered upon making an edit and finding the same IP address talk page, and found the same message, with no response on the 74.71.141.93 talk page, nor on "DerHexer"s talk page, nor in my e-mail box (see e-mail address at end), I figured I would "cut-and-paste" my original response to the previous message from "DerHexer"s talk page to this IP address's talk page. Here's my original response to "DerHexer":

Original page I got to this MSG from, but have never even read, before today: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Coral_Sea_%28CV-43%29

I'm on a cable broadband link, which holds your IP address for as long as you keep your cable modem up and running. about twice a week, I lose my cable connection, or at least the router stops talking to the cable modem, and I have to reset portions of the system. When I have to reset the cable modem as part of the reset, or the cable modem resets itself, requiring a reset of my router, the IP address I am assigned comes from the available pool. Sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's different.

I have, on occaission (sp?) edited wikipedia articles. When I do, I always bookmark a link to see if it gets re-changed by someone within a couple of days. If it is, I go look at the discussion page to see why.

In this case, I made NO CHANGES, prior to now, nor did I try to change ANYTHING, I just tried to make a comment in the discussion page of the original page I read (for the FIRST TIME).

This is the first time I have seen "This is your last warning", or any commentary of any kind that indicates I violated any rule. I got it on a page I don't recall ever READING, let alone editing.

I looked to see what edits might have been done by that IP address, but can find none in the first two pages of past edits, let alone one that constitutes "vandalism".

The thing says something to the effect of "you can eliminate the problem by signing up for some sort of account" (paraphrase, not actual quote). Quite a while ago, I signed up for an account, but some idiot put an immediate hold on it, (less than 5 minutes after I created the account) for reasons that he/she never explained, so I reasoned that one is better off doing edits anonymously. Ever since, I have only done them that way.

I have no interest in becoming part of the "Wikipedia Community", and in fact view your "encyclopedia" as nothing better than a bunch of "high-school" to early "college-level" research papers, that have NOT YET been graded for either grammar or accuracy, and only look at it if I want a brief overview that a HS or BS level student would understand, and 100% accuracy is not required. If all I need is a brief idea of something, with 80-90% accuracy being good enough, then Wikipedia is the best source. But I am NOT going to bother trying to "improve" your "encyclopedia" if this is the kind of hassle I get when I try.

BTW, I have made edits since the one this references, anonymously, as I said I would in the response to "DerHexer", but from different IP addresses, none of which gave me the same insulting bulls**t. This is the first I have done when my ISP assigned me the same IP address again, semi-randomly. The problem I initially brought up still applies.... End of response to "DerHexer".
