Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia articles, such as those you made to Zinc, even if your ultimate intention is to fix them. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Wizard191 (talk) 18:50, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Copper. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Epbr123 (talk) 19:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 Copper. Epbr123 (talk) 19:20, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

First things first, the personal attacks (i.e your first message which I have now removed from my talkpage) is only going to lead you faster to another block and that could happen without another warning (see Wikipedia's policy on personal attacks against other editors). Secondly, begging for forgiveness and promising you'll never vandalize again then vandalizing three more articles afterwards really doesn't help your case one bit. And by the looks of it if you vandalize/disrupt/attack other editors one more time you could very well be blocked indefinately as not one of your contributions have been contructive. If you don't vandalize or attack other editors and try to be contructive then a block shouldn't happen (but it can happen for other reasons like breaking the 3 revert rule) but one more non-constructive edit could cause your account being blocked indefinately without warning.

Okay, but please keep your word on that. AngelOfSadness talk 19:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Only if you can refrain from vandalizing/attacking other editors as they are both huge no-nos in my Wikipedia book. :) You don't need to promise that you won't vandalize or attack other editors anymore you just don't do them things full stop. AngelOfSadness talk 19:21, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I got a little distracted for a few minutes with IP vandals and adding sources to articles. AngelOfSadness talk 19:53, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well you can become a vandalism patroler, by looking through the recent changes, reverting vandalism edits (See WP:VAND for what vandalism edits look like), warning vandals with template warnings about their vandalism (See Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace#Multi-level_templates for all of the warning templates) and then you can report them after they recieved a final warning to WP:AIV. But only administrators can block users from editing and that is when the Wikipedia community discuss whether the candidate can be trusted with the tools (blocking, deleting etc. functions) and will not abuse the tools (like block users they have a disagreement with just because they feel like it). The standards to become an administrator are becoming increasingly higher like a year and a half ago, users could become an admin if they were vandal patrolling for at least three months. But now the general standards are higher and users pretty much have to be vandal-patrolling, creating articles, helping new users, filing articles for deletion if nessesary, helping out at help desk, or administrators noticeboard etc, showing that they can communicate well with other users etc. for at least six months to even have a chance of the nomination not failing. But adminship really isn't a big deal, and it's not a trophy in any way. Administrators are merely the janitors of Wikipedia. AngelOfSadness talk 16:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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 ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should 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 (talk) 19:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
