  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Troy McClure has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

  Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Not done I am not reading these boring things.

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Stop your disruption at File:Evolution of Homer.jpg and File:UllmanMaggie.png. Thanks. — neuro(talk)(review) 22:49, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I did not vandalize. I WAS TRYING TO HELP. Guess you just don't want me on Wikipedia. I am so sorry for myself to go.

Decline reason:

Your request to be unblocked is declined because it does not address the reason for your block or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince administrators either (a) that the block was made in error or (b) that the block is no longer necessary because you understand what you are blocked for, you will not do it again and you will make productive contributions instead. Please read our guide to appealing blocks for more information.  Sandstein  07:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Message to you

edit

I'm not an administrator, but I'd just like to let you know that blocked editors who continually ask to be unblocked and providing no new reasons for doing so can be considered to be abusing the block template and will have their blocks lengthened. right now, youre only blocked for three days, which really isnt much. I would encourage you to just wait out the block and come back when it's over. Soap Talk/Contributions 18:17, 28 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

NO, I CAN'T WAIT! I want to be unlock, i cannot wait 73 hours. Please, someone unblock me.

Speedy deletion of 2009 VA 200 crash

edit
 

A tag has been placed on 2009 VA 200 crash requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Yola Logo.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. — neuro(talk)(review) 22:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Max After Dark

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Max After Dark, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Max After Dark

edit

I find it difficult to understand why you would create a blank page as an article. Since you won't read "boring (guideline) pages," your edits amount to vandalism, as it is a (chronic) willful attempt to disrupt the community. Continuing to do this will result in being permanently blocked from editing on Wikipedia. --OliverTwisted (Talk) (Stuff) 10:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

I put an Under Construction template on it. Give the article time
This is not how things are done. Since you won't bother reading the guidelines, I'm not going to waste time explaining it to you (again). --OliverTwisted (Talk) (Stuff) 11:00, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please stop bothering me!
Hi, User:Cactus1549. I still have your talk page on my watchlist. Wikipedia has a lot of rules, and they are the basis on which the encyclopedia works. If you aren't willing to read or follow rules, then you probably won't like it here. Wikipedia has a lot of editors, who help each other make their work better. If you don't like working with other people, or having trouble graciously accepting correction from other people, then you probably won't like it here. I just wanted to let you know that I was concerned about the way you seem to be ignoring the rules and being rude to other users, because it would make me sad to block you for a longer period of time than your last block. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:14, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please DO NOT recreate this article as a mainly blank page, or with a hangon tag. I would recommend that you create the article in your userspace first, and build it up there, then transfer to the mainspace. Let me know if you need help doing this. If you continue to add inappropriate pages again, you will be blocked, again. Thanks. --GedUK  11:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cinemax

edit

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Cinemax, you will be blocked from editing. For all intents and purposes its still called Cinemax.The website is Cinemax.com. The After Dark actors say "only on Cinemax". The dirty joke animated segments say Dirty jokes on Cinemax. All TV providers call it the Cinemax package. I will revert all of your re-directs so stop wasting your time. TomCat4680 (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Adminship

edit

There is a comment on your talk page relating to admin status; I appreciate that there is at present no application extant in your name for this. In case you had considered applying, it might be helpful if I were to tell you that no applicant with less than 2,000 edits has been appointed for several years, and you have less than 200. It is also necessary to demonstrate a broad base of experience in the admin-related areas of wikipedia - WP:AIV, WP:CSD, WP:UAA, WP:AN/I, WP:AfD, etc. It takes time, but you will get there if you seriously want to. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 13:55, 5 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit
 

I've blocked you from editing because I don't think you quite get what Wikipedia is for. Your edits to our encyclopedia are unconstructive, and others are having to clean up after you.

I'm going to leave you a welcome message here. Please please read the links. If you come back after the block and haven't read and heeded the links, the next block you get may well be permanent. For more information on this, see

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so on Wikipedia:Sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Please bear in mind that any admin reviewing this block may or may not unblock or extend this block at their discretion.
