Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thank you. --Mantanmoreland 14:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Do not deface articles by adding nonsensical accusations against Wiki editors and lengthy, unsourced diatribes. In your approximately first twenty minutes of existence on Misplaced Pages you have violated two serious Misplaced Pages policies. This is not a Usenet message board. Please edit constructively.--Mantanmoreland 16:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- This is now my third warning to you in your approximately eight-hour career as a Misplaced Pages editor.
- Do not push your personal animus toward Weiss, made fairly plain by your bizarre and libelous accusations now deleted, in which you accused myself to be a sockpuppet of Weiss. You now have added an entire section mischaracterizing a libel suit that was dropped and did not create "precendent," and falsely accuse the underlying article of being "inaccurate." You apparently joined Misplaced Pages for the sole purpose of carrying out an agenda concerning Weiss. Please desist. If you continue to make further bad-faith edits for the purpose of disrupting Misplaced Pages and furthering your agenda, you will be blocked.--Mantanmoreland 18:08, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
If I were you I would take Mantanmoreland's warnings seriously. Adding unsourced, potentially libelous materials concerning a living person is a grave transgression. Such additions can be reverted without regard to the three-revert rule. The "three revert rule" requires that editors not make more than three reverts to an article within a 24-hour period. See WP:3RR.--Lastexit 18:26, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
As you know, only in cases of blatant vandalism should contributions be removed in their entirety. I've included numerous citations relating to a circumstance at which Gary Weiss, the subject of the article, was at the center. It was a billion-dollar lawsuit which tested the limits of the law in the digital age. An objective observer might just say it has a place in the article. If you disagree with the facts of the case, as is your right, then please make the corresponding edits. Removing them outright is a breach of Misplaced Pages protocol, and thus you've given me no choice but to escalate this matter for further review. Let the truth be told. 18:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
