:No, I meant to do that... The picture glorified the American side and talked about Roosevelt becoming a national hero. NPOV anyone?

== Unsourced statements ==

You've been adding a lot of [[WP:CITE|unsourced]] statements. Please cite your sources when adding material to Wikipedia. --[[User:Crazycomputers|Chris]] [[User talk:Crazycomputers|(talk)]] 05:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with the page [[:STS-121]] on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been [[Help:Reverting|reverted]] or removed. Please use [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|the sandbox]] for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome page]] if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.<!-- Template:Test-n (first level warning) --> A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=STS-121&diff=next&oldid=64359221 link].

== Invalid merges ==
Articles should not be merged without discussion, and merging ''never'' just means creating redirects without moving the actual contents of the page in question. Please see [[Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages#How to merge pages|the policy]] on merging before continuing; wholesale removal of content from Wikipedia without discussion and consensus may be considered vandalism. Thank you, and happy editing. [[User:Kafziel|Kafziel]] 12:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:That looks like a legitimate name for it if buggery is listed as well, since the area containing buggery states that they're intentionally malicious names.



== James Bond ==

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to [[:James Bond]]. It is considered [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]. If you would like to experiment, use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. <!-- Template:Test2-n (Second level warning) -->} &mdash; <span style="text-decoration: none;">[[User:Revragnarok|<font color="#696969">RevRagnarok</font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Revragnarok |Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Revragnarok|Contrib]]</sup></span> 21:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
:As I explained several times (but they were removed from this talk page), Sean Connery -is- known in fan circles as the king of bonds, and so on for the other nicknames. Therefore this template is moot.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to [[:Template:Wrongtitle]], you will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia. <!-- Template:Test3-n (Third level warning) --> [[User:Tyrenius|Tyrenius]] 00:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
:Please stop. If you wish to make your own conversation space, start a new topic.

== Do NOT remove warnings ==

Please do not remove warnings from your talk page or replace them with offensive content. Removing or maliciously altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. If you continue to remove or vandalize warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. <!-- Template:Wr (second level warning) --> &mdash; <span style="text-decoration: none;">[[User:Revragnarok|<font color="#696969">RevRagnarok</font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Revragnarok |Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Revragnarok|Contrib]]</sup></span> 11:18, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
:Then do NOT remove my replies.

==Democracy edit==
I removed the addition of a paragraph to the [[Democracy]] article ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Democracy&diff=66073057&oldid=66058359 diff]) from this IP address for a second time. Not only does it not seem appropriate to the article, but contributions of this sort from anon IPs, with no edit summaries and no discussion, tend not to be taken seriously. - [[User:Oberst|David Oberst]] 01:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to [[:Mosque]], you will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia. <!-- Template:Test3-n (Third level warning) --> [[user:BhaiSaab|BhaiSaab]] <sup>[[user talk:BhaiSaab|talk]]</sup> 05:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:Stop_hand.svg|left|30px]] This is your '''last warning'''. Removing warnings from your talk page is considered '''[[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]'''. You ''will'' be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia and your talk page will be ''protected'' from editing if you do it again. <!-- Template:Wr4 (final level warning) --> [[user:BhaiSaab|BhaiSaab]] <sup>[[user talk:BhaiSaab|talk]]</sup> 06:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

==Edits to [[BBC]]==

Two things, firstly I deliberately (but temporarily) removed the criticism section from the visible article but kept the text as I, and at least one other editor are working on developing a fully [[WP:CITE|sourced]] criticism section, and wanted to keep the text to work on a future version. I thought the note I left was fairly unambiguous: "please don't restore it until every "some say" type statement is referenced with somebody actually saying it", yet you promptly deleted the entire text and replaced it with a paragraph starting with "The BBC has been accused of having a liberal bias, or of being pro-Tony Blair, by some conservatives." yet without a single reference to any conservative saying any such thing. Additionally, you changed the "See also" link to [[British television]] to [[Television in the United Kingdom]], even though [[Television in the United Kingdom]] is a [[Wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] to [[British television]], which seems a strange edit to me. I've reverted your edits, then, but kept the text you added to the (currently hidden and work in progress) criticism section. In future please avoid using [[WP:WEASEL|weasel words]], and rather than using the from "x has been criticised by some y for being z" use the form "x has been criticised for being z, most notably by y" where y is an actual person or organisation who said such a thing. And make sure that you cite your source correctly. If you've got any questions or complaints feel free to raise them on my [[User talk:Daduzi|talk page]]. --[[User:Daduzi|<font color="Brown">'''Daduzi'''</font>]] [[User talk:Daduzi|<font color="Green"><sup>talk</sup></font>]] 02:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:Okay, sorry, point taken. I thought you meant to take that stuff out of the article.
==Tour de France==
>Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to [[:Tour de France]]. It is considered [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]. If you would like to experiment, use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. <!-- Template:Test2-n (Second level warning) -->
:As I said, no one had heard of it before him.
::Sentence doesn't make any sense in that context
:::The Tour de France. I added that Lance Armstrong helped make it a household name.

:Please do not remove messages from your talk page. Talk pages exist as a record of communication, and in any case, comments are available through the page history. You're welcome to [[Wikipedia:How_to_archive_a_talk_page|archive]] your talk page, but be sure to provide a link to any deleted comments. Thanks. <!-- Template:Wr0 (first level warning) -->
::But the person who added the message didn't know what he was talking about. Also, I replaced the fair use pic with a GFDL one from Wikimedia Commons.

:Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's [[WP:NPOV|NPOV policy]] by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to [[Fernando Torres]], you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Furthermore, reinserting the same commentary multiple times may cause you to violate the three-revert rule, which can lead to a block. <!-- Template:Comment3-n -->
::Talk to me like a man, don't just use template messages. I replaced the fair use pic with GFDL commons pic, that is not nonsense. But he is sexy you must admit.

:Please stop. If you continue to blank or remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to [[: Five Characters in Search of an Exit (The Twilight Zone)]], you will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked]] from editing Wikipedia. <!-- Template:Test3a-n (Third level blanking/removing warning) -->
::I didn't mean to do that actually, sorry. See new change for what I was aiming for. My mistake.

:::[[Image:Stop_hand.png|left|30px]] This is your '''last warning'''. The next time you vandalize a page, as you did to [[:Portal:Current events/2006 July 28]], you ''will'' be blocked from editing Wikipedia. <!-- Template:Test4-n (Fourth level warning) -->
::::Yeah, how bout you stop that considering most of the other charges were unfounded. You only wanted to use that one because of the pic of William Hung I added. Besides which I added the comment in HTML comments to let other people know that the news item in question was US-centric, so it's not even vandalism. Talk to the hand, hater.

== Fair Use ==

Please see [[Wikipedia:Fair use]] - It's all to do with copyrights. You can't use that image unless it's on a page about the image subject. Also, adding images to a shared IP address talk page may result in the image being removed as potential vandalism - just a warning! Try signing up for an account! [[User:HawkerTyphoon|HawkerTyphoon]] 19:09, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Shared talk page ==

Please don't place fair use images on talk pages. For starters this is a shared talk page that moves from user to user. More important, fair use images are not valid for use on articles (not to mention talk pages) that are not specifically concerned with the subject of the photo. Thanks. [[User:Rx StrangeLove|Rx StrangeLove]] 19:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:''I was typing this as a response to the other guy when you left your message'': That's fine, but I doubt it would be removed as vandalism when there's already a fair use pic in use (Manbearpig) and has been for a while. But point taken. I do not believe in creating accounts though as it jeopardizes my privacy. In any case if other users want to move the images that's fine with it - it is a wiki after all.
::Please just stop being a troublemaker. -- [[User:Omicronpersei8|Omicronpersei8]] ([[User_talk:Omicronpersei8|talk]]) 19:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
::I don't care if you create a account, but please stop putting fair use images on talk pages. -manbearpig- is an article and fair use images are used on articles all the time, but they have to meet certain conditions. On articles, it can be contentious but on talk pages it's pretty clear cut. They just are not allowed....anyway, thanks. [[User:Rx StrangeLove|Rx StrangeLove]] 19:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I know that, and I'm the one who REMOVED the picture of Manbearpig... Not sure why you're reminding me it's not allowed.

(last warning....now it is vandalism. I'll block if you do this one more time) [[User:Rx StrangeLove|Rx StrangeLove]] 19:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Blanking ==

Now your blanking sections, please discuss on the talk page of the article if you want to remove large amounts of material. I'll assume good faith here, but please don't remove material without talking about it first, thanks! [[User:Rx StrangeLove|Rx StrangeLove]] 19:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

==Spelling==
[[Image:Nuvola_apps_important.svg|30px|left]]'''''Advice: English dialects on Wikipedia:''''' Wikipedia has millions of readers; some use [[American English]], or [[British English]], or [[International English]], or any of numerous other local forms from [[Australian English|Australia]], [[Canadian English|Canada]], [[Hiberno-English|Ireland]] etc. Because of this, Wikipedia has a policy of respecting articles written in whatever form of English the original author of the article used.

The guidelines are simple. For subjects exclusively related to Britain (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. If it is an international topic, use the same form of English the ''original'' author used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to the other, even if you don't normally use the version the article is written in. Respect other people's versions of English. They in turn should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]. If you have any queries about all this, just ask anyone on Wikipedia and they will help you. Enjoy your time on the internet's fastest growing encyclopædia/encyclopedia {{=)}}.
