USA Patriot Act
Congratulations on testing Wikipedia. Yes, you can edit most articles (very few are protected). However, your "tests" to the USA Patriot Act are considered vandalism. Please do not continue vandalizing articles in that manner. -- Kainaw (what?) 16:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome. What specifically was considered vandalism though? I didn't delete any information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Raoulman (talk • contribs).


 * Vandalism is not strictly deletion of text. It is also the addition of text.  Edits attributed to you changed the vote count from 357/66 to 999/12, which is false information - therefore, vandalism.  Then, you added "The Patriot Act is unconstitutional, does very little to protect us, yet gives up several important liberties of the people to the government, and needs to go."  That is an unsourced, unverifiable opionion - therefore, vandalism.  Wikipedia is not a soapbox for voicing political views.  It is a collection of information from respected and verifiable sources. -- Kainaw (what?) 16:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism at Me and the Pumpkin Queen
Please do not vandalise Wikipedia as you did in this edit. Also, are the anonymous editors vandalising the page yours? Sincerely, -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 21:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

I won't. But I don't know who the anonymous editors are, they aren't me if thats what you're asking.


 * Okay, thanks for the reply. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 20:01, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
