Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

 * Don't be so homophobic. It's no different than racism. Gay Lord Mykonos (talk) 17:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Stop doing that. –  Tommy  [ message ] 17:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Also please stop making personal attacks on other editors, as you do above. This is also a blockable behaviour.  Exploding Boy (talk) 17:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you have a problem with gays? Gay Lord Mykonos (talk) 17:34, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits, such as this edit you made to Homophobia. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing without  further notice. Jusdafax  17:34, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * You should be ashamed of yourself for your negative attitude towards gay people. Gay Lord Mykonos (talk) 17:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I will ask my gay friends to protest you. Gay Lord Mykonos (talk) 17:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for trolling, disruption or harassment. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

I second this block, as an openly gay editor and admin. You left nonsense in several articles, one of which I had to protect. Familiarize yourself with the verifiability and reliable source policies while you are unable to edit. YouTube videos are never reliable sources. I disagree at this point that it should be indefinite, however. Some editors arrive as vandals, not understanding the policies. The blocking admin can add input into that decision, however. --Moni3 (talk) 17:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I endorse the block too. As for an unblock, I'm not entirely convinced that the user wasn't simply trolling.  The name (Gay Lord -> "gaylord"), the type of edits, and the way s/he interacted with other editors suggest that's likely the case.  Exploding Boy (talk) 18:01, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm aware of the connotations of the user name. I tend to lean toward not blocking, blocking in small amounts of time, and upon three examples of unhelpful behavior, finally indefinitely blocking. There are rare stories of users who came to vandalize and provoke and realized they could actually help. Or, users who are simply beyond clueless when they arrive and are willing to learn. --Moni3 (talk) 18:03, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't even think this user is gay, probably a troll from ED for all we know. I've never met a gay dude that persistently paranoid. –  Tommy  [ message ] 18:07, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to speculate on the user's sexual orientation or experiences. It's pretty clear, however, that he has no grasp of what kind of content is useful to add to articles. If the block is shortened, no doubt I'll be proven wrong, and if so, I'll impose the indef block myself. But I favor lighter admin actions. Rollbacking is just a simple click. --Moni3 (talk) 18:12, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
