Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Not certain if it was a misfire but eitherway it was in the wrong place and those other contribs all involving other's talkpages doesn't make sense. Explain what you're doing or it'll look like carpet vandalism. treelo talk 11:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, it was a misfire, sorry about that. I am not vandalizing if thats what your getting at. Buddha24 (talk) 11:34, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Explain how you aren't or it's really just you going around to arbitrary user talkpages and placing an image with zero explanation as to why it's there beyond "happy holidays" which could be seen as vandalism or doing a weird clusterspam effort with images and non-sequiturs. Just trying to figure it out like everyone else. treelo  talk 12:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Happy Holidays
Thanks :)


 * Yes, thanks! Which holiday is it...?  Pyrop e  12:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Barnstarred!

 * I agree. I don't even want to know the story of why.  That was just random and funny as a result.   Keegan talk 20:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the shiny!
Although I am not entirely sure where the reference to Halloween comes from.... J.d ela noy gabs adds 23:36, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Kobe Bryant
Please don't insert libellous material like that. "Nationwide manhunt"? Really?  Enigma  message 02:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Just trying to go along with all the other phony claims, (Rape, abuse) and all the other superficial stuff. Buddha24 (talk) 02:15, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Then please suggest improvements to the article. Vandalizing it is not the appropriate reaction.  Enigma  message 05:43, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Stop deleting my additions to "liberal elite". They are an appropriate level of response to the political tone of those comments and article. Thanks for YOUR understanding.--71.232.157.145 (talk) 03:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the barnstar. If you have a chance pass by my userpage and leave me a Tiger.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for mine too. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar to Singaga
I have deleted the barnstar you awarded to Singaga, for that user is a vandal whose only mission is to disrupt Wikipedia and stir flame wars. Negative behaviours should not be rewarded here. Please be more selective and careful when awarding barnstar in the future. Thank you. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Asia
I noticed that you placed the RFP, which I agree with. However it's not actually vandalism from multiple sources but from one user, [] who has a long history of removing Georgia from both the Asia and Europe pages, as well as other Georgia-related articles. Regards, Kotlyarov (talk) 13:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Birthday template
Um... thanks, but my birthday is in November. AJD (talk) 12:14, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Toyota Prius
Hi Buddha24, can I ask you to clarify your reasons for twice reverting my edits to the lead of the Toyota Prius article. The first time, you gave the reason "vandalism, false info". The sentence I added was fully supported by the reference, so was certainly not "false info", so can you please explain your reasoning, and justify your failure to assume good faith, by using the word "vandalism". The second time you reverted, you gave the reason "the bmw is a V8, the prius however is a V4". Even if either of those assertions was true, how do they invalidate my statement concerning fuel-efficiency? As it happens, neither of them are true, the BMW 520d has a four-cylinder engine, not a "V8", and the Prius has a straight-4 not a "V4". Please review your two reversions, and either restore my addition, or provide a valid reason for omitting it. -- de Facto (talk). 11:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)


 * There is no way a BMW has better gas mileage than Toyota prius. sorry.  Buddha24 (talk) 23:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
