  Hello, I'm Finnusertop. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 00:21, 18 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Note. 31 hours seems like a pretty short block. I'm not sure whether Orangemike noticed this edit summary. It's completely unacceptable, and if you post similar attacks again, you will get a considerably longer block. Bishonen | talk 12:26, 20 March 2019 (UTC).Reply
Oh, yeah, that you will. This is not 4chan or some videogame talk channel, so while I gave you a chance to clean up your act, civility is not optional around here. Relapses will have consequences. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:06, 20 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you purposefully and blatantly harass fellow Wikipedian(s) again, as you did at User talk:Orangemike, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:23, 23 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

The irony is that Dehner may well have some useful information on these topics. But rather than provide citations to the sources he used in his research, he insists on spamming Wikipedia with references to his own work(s). --Orange Mike | Talk 23:28, 23 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
