Edit summaries
Hello, and thank you for your contributions. It is good practice to fill in the Edit Summary field, or add to it in the case of section editing, as it helps everyone to understand what is changed, such as when perusing the history of the page. It's a good idea to set your user preferences (under Edit) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". When editing a page, a small "Summary" field under the main edit-box looks like this:

Black people
Hi Can you please revert your "blonde and colored-eyed actors who resemble Scandinavians or Anglos more than they" to "blue-eyed"? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.125.109.92 (talk • contribs)

Vandal reference
"When you're done dealing with another vandal's piece of fun"...

I hope that you are not referring to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M5891 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Um, no, I wasn't. I was talking about the Grawp-sock vandal, actually. He was reverting the havok the sock had wreaked, which was quite a bit. I needed an admin, saw he was around, and said, when you're done dealing with that, could you deal with this? I wasn't talking about you -- why would I be? Gscshoyru 16:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 17:34, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Fight for Truth
Dear Friend of mine, it took me sometime to give you an answer since I was trying to find within me words that might be able to express how deeply Grateful and honored I am for your comment. I do not feel truly worthy of it but, it indeed comes in a most needed occasion. I have found no "wise" words that I could use to transmit unto you how I felt when reading your message; instead there is a little poem of the 19th century that I keep within me and would like to share with you: please accept it as token of my gratitude; may you too find within its spirit strength to carry on your own constructive efforts:

IN my mind's eye a Temple, like a cloud Slowly surmounting some invidious hill, Rose out of darkness: the bright Work stood still: And might of its own beauty have been proud, But it was fashioned and to God was vowed By Virtues that diffused, in every part, Spirit divine through forms of human art: Faith had her arch--her arch, when winds blow loud, Into the consciousness of safety thrilled; And Love her towers of dread foundation laid Under the grave of things; Hope had her spire Star-high, and pointing still to something higher Trembling I gazed, but heard a voice--it said, "Hell-gates are powerless Phantoms when 'we' build."
 * -- William Wordsworth, 1827

Last, if I was been able to give "other contributors something to think about", then indeed I have reached my highest aim at this free encyclopedia of human activity. After the next couple of editions I leave.

At your service, Marco --Tekto9 (talk) 22:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

To whom it may concern.
A few months ago I drew the ire of several users by repeatedly attempting to insert and remove within one particular article several terms and statements which some identified as "vandalism" (even comparing it to some of the worst defacements committed on this site). I admit that while most of my content was legitimate and well-documented, the practice by which I was inserting it was less than professional. I ultimately issued an apology for this flawed method of editing as well as for several less-than-professional statements directed at a few other users. Still, I was also the target of several unnecessary threats and insults which have been seemingly ignored since then. Furthermore, the branding of a "troublemaker" resulted in the disregard and deletion of several of my contributions in other articles without any formal or legitimate reasoning for doing so. I agreed to apologize for the mistakes I made, now I am requesting the same from those who did wrong towards me.

We can talk
Listen, I'm reasonable -- if I may say so myself -- and if you can prove to me that your version is better, I won't hesitate to admit it. But do discuss on the talk page. That's what it's there for. Take care. SamEV (talk) 05:11, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

American people of the United States
I'm not sure about what this article is about, exactly. I tagged it for two issues, but more may be forthcoming. Bearian (talk) 20:48, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It seems to be going somewhere, and good. I removed the two tags.  Thank you for getting back to me. Bearian (talk) 15:57, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of American people of the United States
A tag has been placed on American people of the United States requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Largo Plazo (talk) 20:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If you're including this material here now, and it was already on Wikipedia, where was it before?—Largo Plazo (talk) 21:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I see you got it from United_States. Are you planning to edit it down?—Largo Plazo (talk) 21:39, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Brazilian people
You restored the Brasileiros.jpg image in Brazilian people article, but note this image has Carmen Miranda photo, a woman not born in Brazil. Discussion about this here. Your edit was reverted. --Ciao 90 (talk) 15:46, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Brazilian American
Hello, M5891. Maybe I should feel flattered over what you're doing, but I'm not. You see, even though I wrote most of the material you keep restoring, I don't think it serves Wikipedia's purpose of producing articles that are as unique as possible one from the next. As I wrote in an edit summary, there's much difference between copying and pasting a sentence or two and C&P'ing entire paragraphs. You keep doing the latter, and have in other articles. You should try and do what many of us do: write. That material, if it is to stay in the article, should be rewritten. It isn't enough for you to point out that 'others do it, too'.

I also encourage you, again, to discuss more. You seem to have a distinct aversion to it, I've noticed in my interactions with you. SamEV (talk) 21:43, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Hispanic and Latino Americans
First, it's occurred to me that you misunderstand WP:3RR. Because of your history of disregarding the talk pages, you could be blocked for edit warring without committing a fourth revert in a 24 hour period.

As to this message you left on my talk page, I deleted it because it's a transparent effort by you to evade blame for your actions. Try again. SamEV (talk) 23:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, while failing to build a consensus for your changes and ignoring the pertinent discussion on the article Talk page, you will eventually be blocked from editing. DocKino (talk) 06:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Disruptive editing on Hispanic and Latino Americans
For nearly 3 months now you have been asked to refrain from edit warring and told to try to abide by WP:CONSENSUS on the Hispanic and Latino Americans article. Rather then do that you have continued to edit war on that article, unabated for 3 months straight and it has gone beyond a content dispute into the realm of disruptive editing. I have gone to both WP:AN/I (twice) and to the admins channel on IRC in order to try and get a third-party admin to handle this situation and so far this process has been unresponsive with no other admins wanting to intercede. But this situation can no longer continue as it has for the past few months so I will take it upon myself to see that it does not continue. Any further disruptive editing on the aforementioned article will result in a temporary block of editing privileges.--Jersey Devil (talk) 16:31, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your |talk page by adding the text. You may also email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list instead, or mail unblock-en-l@mail.wikimedia.org. --Jersey Devil (talk) 01:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

When you return
Please don't just restore the content yet again, M. I could suggest a fourth editor to help us out of this impasse, if you'd like. Let me know if you do. SamEV (talk) 00:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

See my reply over there. And please be more civil. SamEV (talk) 00:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Miyavi's year of birth
While everyone is welcome to contribute to expand Wikipedia articles, please do not add an uncited year of birth as it will be undone, and considered as a vandalism edit until valid, official sources are provided to prove as such. WikiEditor 09111 (talk) 21:30, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Civility
I was directed to your recent comments by another administrator, and I am appalled by what you have been saying without any sort of instigation by other users. I have no clue what irked you to write such comments such as "You pompous, forked-tongued, commie liberals can all go rot. I apologize for nothing." or "What I find upsetting is how pompous, rude, loudmouthed maniacs go about wailing and preaching "civility" but all the while disregarding it (you know who you are)." And I don't even want to know why you felt the need to post anything like what you did to a discussion that's been over for over a year and a half in the first link.

So take this as your final warning. If you write anything so acidic and overly offensive again, you will be indefinitely blocked for civility violations.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 04:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This post is by an anon, but claiming to be from you. Is it you?


 * If it is, then please calm down. If you feel that angry, then don't look at Wikipedia till you're not angry any more, and you've got things in proportion. If you have a disagreement, then express it in civil terms, or you'll just end up being blocked.

Orphaned non-free image File:La Sombra Intocable.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:La Sombra Intocable.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 23:49, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Cyber-stalking
The servers that monitor edits indicate that you have edited a user page with an aggressive post. We would not like to see further issues of cyber-bullying and if push comes to shove, we are happy to escalate the matter and pursue the matter rigourously. Thanks. billinghurst  sDrewth  11:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
