Hi there I think you are close to violating (or maybe even already in violation of) the Three Revert Rule over at Alexander Downer. Cheers, --Surturz (talk) 06:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You already are because the first insertion was already a revert to the anon, which might be yours.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 06:50, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below. --Matilda talk 07:20, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

As you have resumed the same editing pattern immediately after returning from your block - you have been blocked again --Matilda talk 02:42, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Query you posed to User:Blnguyen - my response re pseudonymity
You asked another editor: ''would you care to tell us all about yourself? or are you happy to hide behind editing various entries? would love to hear from you but think you are too afraid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthreader (talk • contribs) 06:21, 25 July 2008 (UTC) ''


 * Not a member of any political party. Has never voted for the coalition. I guess you're a greens supporter or a university student leader eh?  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 07:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Speaking for myself and not for Blnguyen there are excellent reasons for retaining pseudonymity on wikipedia if you are a very active user and fearless administrator. In the end it does not matter what you say about yourself on the internet unless it is verified by reliably published sources: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog .  On wikipedia we are merely the sum of our edits - that is our identity.  Claims of anything else are treated with suspicion, and have in the past been found to be false.  Our wikipedian reputation is based on our editing history.  Because we take on sometimes difficult issues and deal with people that are not always rational editors, our pseudonymity gives us some protection. --Matilda talk 06:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
