Talk:Cyprus
Is there any reason you have continued to remove content from Talk:Cyprus? --P e ruvianLlama(spit) 15:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, just saw the note you left on my talk page, thanks for that. Okay, well the easy answer here would be to use an edit summary. This is always a good idea, but it really is a necessity when you're removing a large amount of content from a page like Talk:Cyprus. Regarding the vandalism you spoke of, I'm right about to log off myself, but if it's serious enough you can leave a note on the Administrator's Noticeboard, or on the Administrator Intervention against Vandalism page. If it's not serious enough for that, then feel free to leave some more details on my talk page and I'll look in to things once I get back. Off the top of my head, it shouldn't be problem to semi-protect your user page to prevent further vandalism. Cheers. --P e ruvianLlama(spit) 15:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't really look like his comments qualify as egregious personal attacks. Even if they did, that's no excuse to delete all of it. Perhaps go through and replace the words you find offensive with "[personal attack removed]". For example, change:
 * "Joe Random is a piece of shit and I am suspicious of his motives."

to
 * "Joe Random is a [personal attack removed] and I am suspicious of his motives."

That would be much more appropriate than a wholesale blanking. OH, and... use an edit summary also. Thanks. — Mar. 24, '06 [15:09] 
 * Oh, if your user page has been getting vandalized, yes, it can be protected from anonymous edits and brand-new accounts, while still allowing you yourself to edit it. See WP:SEMI. I can do that for you now, if you like. — Mar. 24, '06 [15:12] 

Block
I have blocked you for 24 hours for breaching the Three-revert rule on Talk:Cyprus. Please use this time to consider carefully what you will do when the block runs out. You might consider reading up some of our policies, since you can still read: you are only blocked from editing. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 15:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Do not remove talk page comments like you did on Talk:Cyprus. &rArr;   SWAT Jester     Ready    Aim    Fire!  06:32, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

You do not WP:OWN the Talk:Cyprus article. Removing other's talk page comments is considered vandalism. &rArr;   SWAT Jester     Ready    Aim    Fire!  06:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Now that somehow doesn't seem right at all. All of a sudden I have such an amount of attention from so many - so you start explaining this - why is it that admins don't step in when anonymous IPs can make malicious comments and statements and attack user pages, yet when a REGISTERED, CONTRIBUTING wiki member tries to defend themselves, then suddenly all of these admins start issuing threats? That DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL.
 * You're not defending yourself, you're removing the comments. Also, please be civil, and don't yell.  -- Rory 0 96 06:48, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing in the statement that is uncivil - and how can you perceive any type of voice to label as such as 'yelling'? Please - don't attempt to pin something on me just for the sake of doing so. And I AM defending myself. I have discussed with two other admins.
