Removing warnings

Please do not remove legitimate warnings from your talk page or replace them with inappropriate content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. You're welcome to archive your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted legitimate comments. If you continue to remove or vandalize legitimate warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks.

Look John, you can delete this info all you want, but it's there in your history all the time and people here are smart enough to know how the MediaWiki application works. Anyone and everyone can see what you're doing. They'll see that I've tried to reasonably work with you tonight on several subjects, but that you continued to maliciously edit work no one agrees you should be editing and deleting warning after warning being given. I seriously don't think you have done one thing tonight that didn't go completely against one Misplaced Pages policy or another. Again, it's very easily seen going over the history. And for what? Just to get a site that is yours up on the external links sections? Personally, I don't see a reason why the site can't be included. Seems like a decent resource. You just need to keep in mind there are many resources out there most of them contain more content than yours with a user-base much greater than the 2 (literally 2!!!) users on yours.

That being said and all of this being recorded into the history, I see there are two different directions you could take at this point:

1 - You constructively and interactively help shape these articles by participating in the discussions and, in turn, edit with and not against the other editors of the PanoTools subjects. No more rogue edits. No more malicious edits. No more defamation of users. No more spamming your site. (all of which are a form of vandalism WP:VAND)
2 - You can delete all of this on your users talk page, remove the very valid warnings once again, and continue to vandalize the articles in the same manner you have been doing all night. All this option is going to do is add more negative edits to your history and give more reasons to the admins to ultimately block you from editing these articles all together (a task that should be pretty clear for them to do at this point).

It's pretty much in your hands now. Roguegeek 08:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

WP:3RR

You should also read and understand the three-revert rule WP:3RR Misplaced Pages policy and know that you've already broken in several times here and on other articles tonight. I'm simply trying to inform you that a rule really does exist. Roguegeek 08:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Time to stop

First up, vandalism is a loaded term, it's defined at WP:VAND and specifically does not include good-faith content disputes. To accuse other editors of vandalism when they are acting in good faith, regardless of how strongly you disagree with their edits, is uncivil and can lead to your being blocked from editing. Please do not do this.

Second, there is credible evidence that PanoTools should be a redirect, since the verifiable content about the company itself is small and you have not provided any evidence that it meets the guidelines for inclusion of companies. Either way, it makes no sense to link the product's common abbreviation to an article on the company in the context of an article already about the product, which is the major problem with the last couple of edits you made.

Third, edit-warring is not the way to resolve disputes. Please try dispute resolution. Guy 11:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Block

Hi. You have been blocked from editing for 24 hours due to a WP:3RR breach. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks. El_C 11:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

signing notes

Please learn how to sing your notes correctly. I'll even give you the link so you don't have to look around. WP:SIGNATURE Roguegeek (talk) 22:18, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I want your feedback

John, I want your feedback on the issues being discussed in the Talk:Panorama Tools (software) page. Keep it constructive and organized. I am very much in favor of putting the external links you want to put in the article to show everyone there's worth to them. I just need it discussed in the open and kept on track. It's when all of the reverting and edit wars start is when I get upset. Stay with me here. Be calm and constructive. No more reverting please. We don't need to go through what happened the night before. Roguegeek (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Roguegeek (talk) 05:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Continued personal attacks

Please do not make personal attacks on other people. Misplaced Pages has a policy against personal attacks. In some cases, users who engage in personal attacks may be blocked from editing by administrators or banned by the arbitration committee. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Please resolve disputes appropriately. Thank you. --Konstable 04:18, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Need source

Information icon Hello, I'm Alphachimpbot. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Roguegeek (talk) 21:02, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Off topic

Please don't post messages on pages that are completely irrelevant to the topic of the page. It can be seen as spam and Misplaced Pages regards adding spam to articles or talk pages as a form of vandalism. Thank you. Roguegeek (talk) 21:09, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
