Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Talk:Anderson Cooper. Thank you. MBK004 14:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to El Al, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

January 2008

Please do not gratuitously remove content from Misplaced Pages, as you did to the Joseph McCarthy page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. RedSpruce (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did to Allegations of state terrorism committed by the United States, especially without providing an edit summary you will be blocked from editing.

Natasha Collins

I've reverted your edits to Natasha Collins as I think it probably isn't wise to speculate about the case. Thanks Paul20070 (talk) 20:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

I've put it back as it's mentioned in the Speight article, so is probably ok. I've made a slight edit though, and will be adding some more information. Please accept my apologies for challenging your edit. I was just a bit concerned that it could be controversial. Thanks and happy editing. Paul20070 (talk) 21:37, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

More petty vandalism from this IP, almost certainly the same person because it was to remove some comments of mine from talk pages. SlimVirgin 19:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I've blocked for 12 hours. SlimVirgin 20:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Tagging

Not really, the tagging is done to keep track of ISP's, as well as possible sockpuppetry. Please keep in mind that logging out of an account to edit as an IP to circumvent WP:3RR is not allowed. Other than that, as long as you stick to the policies and guidelines it should not matter if you edit under the IP or under the account name; realizing that IP and account edit histories are open to all people, and that editing history can be conclusive, even without the use of wp:checkuser. -- Avi (talk) 16:44, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks, i do edit from different locations, but not really to cause problems. iam glad that isn't against any rules. if i have broken any rules can you please point them out so i don't do them again? thanks again. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 16:47, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

also, i saw my contributions list. there is stuff going way back that i did not contribute. how can that be. i am on a network computer, does that matter.--70.109.223.188 (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I would encourage you to create an account and login before you make any edits. That way your changes follow you regardless of where you are. It also help you disassociate yourself from any vandalism that happens on the same IP. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 21:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

i am not allowed to create an account. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 21:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Why not? If you can't due to an IP block, you can request an account. Nwwaew (Talk Page) (Contribs) (E-mail me) 19:57, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

i would rather not discuss that here. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:14, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to C-Squat has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Jonathan 20:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

As a matter of interest, can you say why you made this edit? SlimVirgin 02:41, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

loisaida is slang and some people in that area of nyc find it offensive. is that a problem.--70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:17, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Notice of editing restriction

As a result of an Arbitration case, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Palestine-Israel articles, all articles related to Israel and Palestine and related disputes are placed under broad discretionary sanctions. Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.

This message places you on notice that the sanctions apply to your editing of these articles, which is the subject of a current complaint at WP:AE. Despite the notice on this page that this is a dynamic IP address, I am aware that it has been stable for some time and I know the names of the accounts you have been using. You are simply being informed of the sanctions at this time so I will avoid disclosing the names of those accounts. However, if it becomes necessary to apply individual sanctions due to disruptive behavior, it will be necessary to disclose those account names. Thatcher 22:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Nobody "owns" a Misplaced Pages article

It depresses me even to see such phrasing here. Moncrief (talk) 19:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Phil Ford

I would suggest that you learn the meaning of 'vandalism'; what I added is to this article is truthful and verifiable ... the cornerstones of Misplaced Pages. Don't waste my time or yours with these inane accusations. Duke53 | 05:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Please respond on the article's talk page. It seems that you are in the minority position on readding that material. Nobody is questioning its truth or verifiability, it is more its relevance to the overall article and what impact if any it had on this person and why you keep on insisting on adding it against BLP concerns. Thank you. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 13:53, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
