Your ongoing vandalism of Lucille Ball through multiple accounts
This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism will not be tolerated. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  20:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I apologize, I accidentally reverted the article to an incorrect version; I was actually trying to make a legitimate edit. Your response was a little nasty; a more friendly message pointing out my mistake would have been sufficient I think. Bennbread 20:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If you didn't have a record of identical vandalism to that article in the past, I wouldn't have sent that warning. I have no idea what you're trying to accomplish with that bizarre vandalism, but now would be a good time to stop. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  20:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

So much for the presumption of innocence. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bennbread (talk • contribs).


 * What, the database is wrong and you didn't make those edits? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  20:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I am new to Wikipedia and I accidentally reverted the article. I was not sure which version was the vandalized one and which one was correct. I already apologized for that. Secondly, the vandalism of taht page was happening long before I even registered for Wikipedia, so do not place the blame on me. If the page is being vandalized constantly, then why was it unprotected? Does it make sense to do this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bennbread (talk • contribs).


 * Your registered this account on November 21st and edited Flammability. You edited Lucille Ball on December 18th and December 19th (Special:Contributions/Bennbread).  I should just request that this account be blocked immediately, as you've already been blocked on other accounts for identical vandalism.  Instead, I've left it as just a final warning, and requested that you stop these nonsense edits now. -- Jim Douglas (talk)  (contribs)  21:11, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

That does not really answer the question. If the page is being "vandalized", why was it unprotected?


 * See Semi-protection policy. Wikipedia is designed to be editable by anyone at any time; protection is used only as a last resort. I don't suppose you'd like to satisfy my curiosity and explain why you're making those bizarre edits to Lucille Ball? -- Jim Douglas (talk)  (contribs)  21:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, as I said before, the page was being vandalized by multiple IPs before I registered. I accidentally reverted the article to the incorrect version when I was trying to add information about her management of Desilu. I would have no reason to deliberately vandalize any page. Do you consider my edit to Flammability vandalism as well? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bennbread (talk • contribs).


 * I've had enough of this; you're assuming I'm an idiot. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  21:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
