[edit] May 2008
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 Fresnel equations, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. 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. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Fresnel equations was changed by Galiuss (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2008-05-06T04:38:51+00:00 . Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Recreation. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. NeilN talk ♦ contribs 04:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Sam and Friends has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. NeilN talk ♦ contribs 04:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing, such as the edit you made to Fresnel equations. If your vandalism continues, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeilN talk ♦ contribs 04:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as the one you made to User:Enviroboy.
Any further vandalism will result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeilN talk ♦ contribs 04:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
