[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 15:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Kossack4Truth for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

[edit] Attacks

Regarding your comments on Talk:Barack Obama: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

Accusing those who disagree with your POV of being campaign volunteers or staffers is unacceptable. Shem(talk) 23:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

tendentious editing - for this further edit[1] and many others. You are edit warring on an important talk page, and behaving in a tendentious way. When you make an edit with the stated purpose of changing the slant of an article about a presidential candidate, referring to those who disagree with you as "campaign volunteers" you are not editing the encyclopedia constructively. If you do not stop it seems likely that you will be blocked from further editing. Wikidemo (talk) 16:45, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request for your opinion

Hi, please !vote on the language in my article Please Vote For Change We Can Believe In Or Even No Change at Obama Article
Requesting your final opinion on the Bill Ayers language
  • You previously !voted (here) on what language to use at the Barack Obama page. We're trying to get a consensus now. Please take another look at how the discussion has progressed (especially here) and consider what option might make the best consensus, then !vote again at Talk:Barack Obama#Call the question after detailed discussion: Option 3 or not?. Please keep in mind the discussion has been long, so if you can accept what seems to be a likely option, please do. This is one of Wikipedia's most prominent articles. Thank you.

[edit] Stop it

Please stop sockpuppeting. You're only ruining any good cause to improve any articles that might otherwise be improved. The Evil Spartan (talk) 17:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked you for 24 hours for repeated disruption despite numerous warnings. Raul654 (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June 2008 - edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Barack Obama. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. This is just a friendly warning to remind you that your next reversion will take you over the limit, although given the tendentious nature of your edits, some administrators might feel you have already been sufficiently disruptive to warrant a block. -- Scjessey (talk) 23:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barack Obama

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 Barack Obama, 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. --Floridianed (talk) 18:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked you for edit warring on the Barrack Obama article for 24 hours. If you wish to contest this block please use the {{unblock}} template. ScarianCall me Pat! 18:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

{{unblock|Please review my last edit at Talk:Barack Obama where I agreed to "edit war no more." That was just minutes before I was blocked. A truce had been offered and when I noticed it, buried in the middle of the Talk page, I immediately agreed. The stated purpose of WP:BLOCK is not to punish, but to protect Wikipedia. Because of the truce, I believe that the block now serves no useful purpose, and prevents me from constructively editing and participating in that discussion. WorkerBee74 (talk) 13:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)}}

No opinion on the block, but fixed the template. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:38, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Lovely. WorkerBee74 (talk) 23:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

It seems this block expired before being addressed, so I have disabled the template. - auburnpilot talk 02:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Barack Obama

WB74, I'm taking a 30-day Wikibreak from the topic of Barack Obama, but I'd like to continue visiting you on your Talk page. Rely on moderators like Bigtimepeace. If there is breaking campaign news, I see no reason why it shouldn't be added to the article immediately, but be careful to do it using strictly neutral language. And be prepared to discuss and modify afterward. For any other addition of material that is not breaking news, always discuss it first on the Talk page and obtain consensus.

We have a truce based on an initiative started by Wikidemo. I am grateful to see that you have sigend on. Right now the only edit warrior who hasn't signed is User:Life.temp, and I can argue that he/she is headed for a topic ban. Please do not allow anyone to put you in the same category as LT. Sign on for the truce and let them be the ones who break it.

JJB has an excellent initiative based on the Ron Paul article and he deserves your consistent, calm and non-combative support. Kossack4Truth (talk) 11:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, you know how I feel from my e-mails. I am not very optimistic about what's going to happen next. But I promise to try and work it out. WorkerBee74 (talk) 13:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
