  An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Wikipedia user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them. While Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act may protect Wikipedia from being sued for defamation, it may not protect the person who posted a defamatory claim on a Wikipedia page. The Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees has ruled that: "Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, [personal information] data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers." (Wikimedia privacy policy in full)

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. Remove the disputed material from the article immediately.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Don't repeat the claims. The claim can then be deleted from the page history.

A tag has been placed on Carlton Haselrig, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. thadius856talk|airports|neutrality 06:08, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 04:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Michelin. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 04:06, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked for a period of 48 hours from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy because your account is being used to create nonsense pages. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. {{#if:true|Acroterion [[User talk:Acroterion|(talk) 04:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)|}}Reply
Your block is only 48 hours because you've contributed productively in the past. A repetition of nonsense pages or incivility will bring an indefinite block. Acroterion (talk) 04:16, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply


I'm just gonna come back and do it again whenever the ban ends. You can't watch me forever. If the tennis racquets don't get you the pool skimmers will.

Actually, we can watch you forever. I or another of the 1600 administrators will deal with it. Acroterion (talk) 04:20, 17 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
