Also, Josh Allain, your edits to the Bad Brains album chronology in several of the articles makes it so that the sequence of the different albums is not consistent across all of the articles. Am I making sense? Figma00:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. ~ Arjun01:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. 156.34.223.6801:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 156.34.223.6801:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. 156.34.211.16201:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My gosh, what a lot of hands... I popped acrossed having become aware of this edit of yours to the Living Colour article, please make sure you are not removing information that has achieved consensus and particularly the interwiki links. For example - the entire section of previous ly piped complilation albums. Can I also ask that you use an informative edit summary, as "Living Colour" doesn't summaries the edit you made.--Alfmelmac17:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule . Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

Your repeated insertion of the inappropriate genre "Proto metal" in the Jimi Hendrix article is annoying, uncalled for, and a bunch of other bad things, not to mention that you've gone waaaay over your 3-revert limit here. Hope you get slapped with a nice long block. Oh, and have a nice day. +ILike2BeAnonymous23:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jimi Hendrix. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Peter Fleet (talk) 22:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a serious notice. Please do not ignore it.
Many of your edits to Wikipedia stretch our assumption of good faith to the limit. Please try to abide by Wikipedia's policies and not edit war. Further poor behaviour, vandalism, etc. may lead to a long block from editing. Stifle (talk) 11:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop putting the category Category:American musical groups on the Bad Brains article. This category is a parent category, and is used to hold sub categories, such as American musical groups by genre, which then holds the more specific categories that should be used on band articles. Category:American musical groups should be empty, but due to a lack of maintenance requires a lot of attention. I am currently trying to empty it, but you edits are proving disruptive. Categories should be as specific as possible; American musical groups is not particularly specific. Taking into account your above vandalism warnings, consider this a polite warning. Any further disruption and you will be reported. Regards Nouse4aname09:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked for 1 week
You have been blocked for 1 week for general disruption, including edit warring and introducing incorrect information to pages including Build a Nation. Please be aware that if you continue disrupting Wikipedia when the block expires, you are liable to be blocked for a longer period, possibly indefinitely. Stifle (talk) 20:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Please do not remove "The" from the opening sentence of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It needs to be there as the sentence wouldn't make sense if it was removed. Next time you consider making this kind of edit, please ask about it on the talk page. That way you will get feedback on whether it would be a good idea to make your edits. Thank you. ╦ﺇ₥₥€Ԋ(talk/contribs)01:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A tag has been placed on Stone Vengeance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent vandalism will not be tolerated. Although vandalizing articles on occasions that are days or weeks apart from each other sometimes prevents editors from being blocked, your continued vandalism constitutes a long term pattern of abuse. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pumpmeup01:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Jimi Hendrix, you will be blocked from editing. Additional Cry of Love was an official release in 1970. Why do you keep deleting it without explanation. Please stop. --HJensen, talk08:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The next time you remove that album information from the Hendrix article without any explanation whatsoever, I'm going to ask that you be blocked immediately. +ILike2BeAnonymous (talk) 19:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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 Jimi Hendrix, you will be blocked from editing. --HJensen, talk23:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Danielia Cotton, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
You mark all of your edits as minor, and many of those are not minor edits. See Wikipedia:Minor edit). The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Marking major edits as minor is considered rude. If you continue to do it after this explanation, it will be considered purposefully attempting to deceive other editors about your edits.

Jimi Hendrix
From WP:MOSBIO: "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the legal name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym. Follow this practice even if the article itself is titled with the pseudonym." This is Wikipedia policy. So STOP CHANGING IT. Do it again and you will be blocked. And if you mark another major edit as minor you will be blocked. Ward3001 (talk) 20:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Jimi Hendrix, you will be blocked from editing. --Laugh! 20:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Jimi Hendrix. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use Wikipedia:Sandbox for test edits. Thank you. Peter Fleet 02:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
