Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Extraterrestrial life. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.
 * If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Extraterrestrial life was changed by Josepheous (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.882966 on 2011-10-12T15:43:27+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 15:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to A. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to a loss of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 15:49, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Ben. Geoff Who, me?  15:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

As it has become apparent that your account will be used solely for unconstructive editing, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest it by adding the text to this page. Kuru  (talk)  16:42, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Seven years is plenty of time to change your outlook. Please indicate what kinds of edits you'd want to make if unblocked. Huon (talk) 21:58, 20 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Josepheous, I am perfectly willing to believe that you have changed in the six years and several months since the block, especially if, as you say, you were a child back then. I would be totally willing to unblock you and give you another chance, but I know that I am more willing to give second chances in this kind of situation than most administrators, so rather than acting unilaterally I suggest you make a few suggestions about what editing you are likely to do, as Huon has asked you to do. Also,, the blocking administrator, may like to express an opinion, though it is quite likely that after so long a time he or she will have no memory of the block.

 * No memories, indeed. The description matches the actions; a quick child-like spree and the account blocked as a VOA. I have no objections to an unblock after so much time has passed. Kuru   (talk)  18:04, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
