User:Timmy12/Admin board 999 warnings

Vandalism warning -- question
I received these two vandalism warnings today:

*First warning:

--Vandalism warming--

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -999 (Talk) 13:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

*Second warning:

--Removing citations is vandalism--

Please stop removing citations from articles. It is vandalism--

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -999

*My actual behavior:

The "vandalism" of Winterstar Symposium consisted of (as recorded in the edit summary) -- (External link - removing 1 of 2 links to a Rosencomet commercial site as 2 links to exact same site address are unnecessarily commercial). This was one edit only. I have not edited that article since, so I do not know what the second warning refers to. The last time I edited that article was October 12, 2006.

The warning was given to me by the same person who left the note below, soon after I joined Wikipedia so I had no idea what it meant:

-- You again? --Hello, Mattisse! -999 (Talk) 17:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I had a discussion of User:Rosencomet commercial links a while ago with User talk:JzG , he agreed the site was commerical and said he was in favor of reducing link spam.

How am I to interpret these warnings? Are they real? What are the actual rules? Timmy12 20:01, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I can tell you the rules of this page. It's in red at the top, and you've violated it about three times now. "This is not the Wikipedia complaints department". This is not something that needs immediate admin intervention. --InShaneee 21:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you are correct Timmy12 and will remove the warnings -- Samir धर्म 21:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! I was just posting it on Technical Pump, not knowing where else to go. So Thanks! Timmy12 22:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
