Hello, I'm Odysseus1479. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Odyssey has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.—Odysseus 1 4 7  9  21:22, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Slaughterhouse-Five. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been or will be undone. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Antepenultimate (talk) 21:51, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Keshawn Martin, you may be blocked from editing. Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Keshawn Martin was changed by Burrito77 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.910378 on 2016-05-11T01:43:44+00:00. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * I’m not an administrator, so my opinion here is only worth the electrons it’s written on, but there’s a Wikipedia adage that blocks are preventive rather than punitive; deterrence is only a minor part of the rationale. I think your request will be more likely to succeed if you undertake to treat security more seriously and state how you intend to prevent a future recurrence, because a compromised account represents an ongoing risk of vandalism—‘a bit of fun’ is no big deal in the grand scheme of things, but the fact remains that other editors’ valuable time is wasted in dealing with it.—Odysseus 1 4 7  9  01:29, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

While I do agree that my account is compromised and that it should be blocked in case the person who made the edits returns, I disagree with the ban being indefinite. The solution is simple really, just my changing my password. Moreover, my computer wasn't hacked, it was probable just one of my friends who was here, as we were working on a project. Thank you for your consideration and time in this matter. Also, how is @odysseus1479 able to see what I post right after I post it? burrito777 (talk) 22:30, 10 June 2016 (UTC)burrito77


 * As for your second question, see Help:Watchlist. It's typical for users who warn vandals to keep that vandal's page on their watchlist (as you can see, odysseus1479 isn't the only one). As for the "I'll just change my password" bit, I'll note that you've said the same thing before, and yet vandalism continued afterward. Assuming good faith (i.e., that you're not just feeding us a line), you are apparently incapable of maintaining even basic security on the computers you use. I am also not an administrator, but I feel the block is appropriate. Antepenultimate (talk) 22:41, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
