Hello,

Please, please stop adding nonsense, or worse, misinformation to articles. It is considered vandalism, and if you keep it up you may be blocked from editing. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

That's a good question. Am I threatening to block you if you continue to insert misinformation or strange nonsense in Wikipedia articles? Yes, I suppose I am. That's as far as my threat goes though. I'd encourage you to help us out writing an encyclopedia instead. Here's a welcome message with some good ways to get started:

Welcome!

Some mistake

There must be some mistake... I have been a member here for since years, and suddenly all my adjust/edits have been replaced and I am being advised/threatened with a block/ban.

What is the for of this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Alderweis (talk • contribs) 16:49, May 15, 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if I'm quite skeptical of that. People who have been here for years know to sign talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~) to leave a name and date. Also -- forgive me for saying so -- your slightly garbled English in the above comment is very similar to some of the bad edits you have recently made. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 16:55, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Please don't change other people's comments on talk pages, like you did in this edit. I believe you when you say English isn't your first language, but what language is it that you speak which seems to confuse feet and birds? KNOCK IT OFF. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

If you have any sort of bot, which I admit I doubt, stop running it immediately. See Wikipedia's bot policy. Your supposed bot is unapproved and destructive. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Please provide a link showing where you have received permission for this bot. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 17:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

Someone was kind enough to point me to [1], documenting the hoax. (Now marked private or deleted or something, but I saw it before then). It is my sad duty to block this account indefinitely. Have a nice day. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
