Roman
Please, this page is not about the Romans and what you are doing is inappropriate. You need to read up a bit on our guidelines and policies. Thanks. dougweller (talk) 17:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Alexander the Great. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing. Bogey97 (talk) 17:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. NikoSilver 17:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Wait, hold on. I put a final warning here, but I'll remove that warning. I saw in your description of the Empire page where you added the Greek empire, that you said that you say the Greek empire was larger than the Persian empire, on the rationale that Alexander EXPANDED on the persain Empire at the time. One thing you need to understand: The Persian empire has had fluctuated in size over time. Alexander may have expanded on Persian lands of the time, but at its greatest extent, Persia covered most of the lands of the Byzantine empire as well as a lot of land in India, which together is SMALLER than Alexanders conquest, so his empire was NOT the largest ancient empire. Rustyfence (talk) 21:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC) 'You say he may have expanded on the persian lands of the time but he expanded on the Archaemid empire and that was the largest persian empire therefore the greek one was bigger!'
 * Plus, facts that go in Wikipedia are supposed to be supported by published sources. If you can find a reliable history book that gives the area of Alexander's empire, or the Persian empire, etc., feel free to put that information in an article -- but don't change an article just because you think off the top of your head that it must be wrong.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 21:41, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing.


 * Bobobobobobo12345, you seem to be genuinely convinced that the Achaemenid Empire was inferior to the Minoean Empire of Alexander the Great. Please click "edit this page" at the top of this page and respond; do not edit articles again until we get this straight:  Myself and several other editors are convinced that this isn't so.   You said in your edit summary that you have a source: readers digest ancient history book.  If you could, let me know what facts are listed and what their sources are.  Thanks.  Rustyfence (talk) 19:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok the full name of the book is Readers digest illustrated history of the world-Ancient History. ' 'Here is an extract from the book "The Archaemenid Empire was now controlled by Alexander the Great, Alexander had many aims to fulfill and wished to expand the empire in many a direction. Many sources are unreliable when you are discussing the size of Alexanders empire at its greatest extent, this is because many see alexander as the conquerer of asia and only consider asian countries in his empire. However historical documents show that Alexander decided to send some men the other way and these men controlled by one of Alexanders most trusted generals conquered parts of Saudi arabia, Egypt, Eastern Libya and alot of southern Europe. This significantly increases the size of Alexanders empire and it is estimated that his Empire at its greatest extent was 17.5 million km2." 'The only change I wish to make to the list of the largest empires is to put the Greek empire 1st.' 'Also i must add that I think you should add the Ptoleimic greek empire and the Selucidic Greek empire in the list because they were larger than some of the lower ones on the list.'

Bo (can I call you that?) It seems from you that this readers digest looks like it'sauthoritative on the subject. I am no expert in Greek history. I will find someone who should know about this and talk about it on your page. All I do is look for people who are intentionally harming Wikipedia, and you aren't doing that at all.

Fair enough, i am looking forward to speaking to an expert

License tagging for File:Greek empire.png
Thanks for uploading File:Greek empire.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Momusufan (talk) 17:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Requests for Adminship
I see you have tried (unsuccessfully) to create a Request for Adminship for yourself. I would advise against that, at this stage. With less than 100 edits, less than two months experience editing, and an edit warring warning from only yesterday, there is no way that your nomination would pass. If you create one it would certainly be closed unsuccessfully within a matter of hours. Please consider this. --Deskana, Champion of the Frozen Wastes 13:06, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Further: Copyright violation
Further to the above: Your self-nomination will fail spectacularly, considering that you just made three copyright violations: Greek influence, which you copied wholesale from multiple Encarta articles in violation of its copyright, and two images, File:Spread of greeks220AD.png and File:Greek colonies 550.jpg, with false licence claims. Not only are you not going to get administrator tools, you are on the verge of losing your existing editor tools. Do not violate copyright again. If you do, your editing privileges will be revoked, for the protection of the project. Uncle G (talk) 01:07, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
