I'm sorry that your first message was such a rude message. I'd suggest coming to Talk:Flashlight and discussing the issue. kmccoy (talk) 12:16, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the links, and the genuine welcome, kmccoy. Foray 01:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

You can keep playing this little game of yours if you want, but I am FAR more strong-willed than you are and you will lose. If you have an explanation for your childish behavior, man up and bring it over to my talk page and I'll take care of it there. In the meantime, I will be reporting you to the (real) admins.

It would behoove you to go look at the flashlight discussion page so you'll have some clue why the text is there instead of continuing to act like a child. Betterthanyouare 03:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * A second opinion appears to be necessary. Here's mine: Stop unilaterally removing the online status note of this link. Continuing to do so is may be regarded by others as vandalism. Femto 12:43, 10 June 2006 (UTC), 14:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Femto is incorrect. Continuing to do so is not vandalism.  It is a content dispute.  However, you should discuss the issue on Talk:Flashlight. kmccoy (talk) 13:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * My user page has a relevant example of "user page vandalism" in its history. Foray 14:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The wrong page, that happens, especially with the first edit on not yet existing userpages and talkpages. You removed it without consequences. Still, it was a message to you. (I have no idea how appropriate a fourth-level warning at the top of this page is, since I haven't gone into the history of the relationship between you and Betterthanyouare.)


 * So far the only four contributions from this account, aside from your user talk, are to repeat an already contentious edit. If you think collecting warnings isn't a good start, I agree, and that's easy enough to fix. Don't repeat the edit, and take the matter to the talk page. If an external link is occasionally offline, that seems reason enough to mention it. Femto 17:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. You should really go to Talk:Flashlight and discuss your concerns with that text. kmccoy (talk) 08:31, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU NEED TO GO TO THE FLASHLIGHT DISCUSSION PAGE. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU NEED TO BE TOLD TO GO THERE WITH AN ISSUE??? What is your problem?? Are you afraid your point won't be taken seriously or is it that you don't actually HAVE a valid reason for changing the page?? Betterthanyouare 13:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not abuse minor edit markings. Check out Help:Minor edit. Your removal of the text was not a minor edit. Specifically see the section about "disputed pages". Thanks. kmccoy (talk) 16:38, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove content from a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Femto 12:43, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * He's not doing anything that warrants blocking. Are you serious?  This is a simple content dispute.  That said, Foray, you should discuss your issue on the talk page.  kmccoy (talk) 13:46, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
