As they say in the movies, "oh be-have". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive). Maybe you should check out Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Rklawton 23:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Rklawton 22:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Please try to understand that, as per the in-line notes within each date article, we only accept entries of people with biographical articles in Wikipedia. Adding your own name simply isn't appropriate. Rklawton 22:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
