Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article, or any other Wikipedia page, must include proper sources. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 21:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 22:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Fine, you won't mend your ways, then we'll deal with it another way. 98.248.33.198 (talk) 23:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

September 2009
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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. ''I could just as easily have blocked you, and in fact a request was made that you be blocked. I have elected instead to protect the page in question from all editing in the hope that you will discuss these edits on the article talk page instead of edit warring. Please don't make me regret that decision. '' Beeblebrox (talk) 23:20, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't check my email very often, so I just got your message. As you can see from the above message, I did not and do not intend to take a side in the dispute, my goal was and is to encourage discussion as opposed to combative editing. Controversial edits should be discussed on the talk page, as opposed to aggressively re-adding such material to the article. Click here for more information.
