July 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Dylan and Cole Sprouse, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bsroiaadn^Talk 18:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Re: Dylan & Cole

I don't know if it passes the verifiability test. (And I'm not the only one questioning that, as evidenced above) WAVY 10 18:16, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Again, can you cite a source (beside the obvious visual differences) to mention the weight disparity between Dylan and Cole Sprouse? WAVY 10 18:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok. If it's a challenge you want, a challenge you get. WAVY 10 18:46, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Matter of choosing a source...which so far you have not done. (BTW, I didn't undo that last edit). If anything, I probably would bring this up on the talk page. (Also teetering on WP:3RR). WAVY 10 18:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Last warning

If you continue adding unsourced and possibley derogatory information to articles as you insist on doing to Dylan and Cole Sprouse ([1]) you will be blocked from editing. If you want to add it again, include a Reliable Source or else it will be reverted again as vandalism/OR. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 18:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ayman al-Zawahiri, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Response to your note

Before I blocked you, I went and investigated the contribs and your talk page. What I saw was an editor who responded to questions about the sourcng and veracity of information, information potentially derogatory to one of the subjects of the article, with hostile edit summaries ("Malevious, this is true. LAY OFF! I have sources!!!!!") and reversions of the removal of such information. That's not working well with other users. That gets other people blocked, and you were no exception.

Looking over your contribs, I do think you mean to do well. But you have less than 50 edits, and a lot of policy to learn. I'm sorry it had to come the hard way.

If I were you, what I'd be taking away from this is that when another user challenges the source of information you put in, even if you strongly believe it to be true, you do something to get sources for them (To be fair, they ought to have challeged it first by just putting {{fact}} after it and then leaving you a message on your talk page, or in the article ... that's the good faith way to do it, and too many people forget that), or consent to take it out or comment it out until you have the sources you were claiming to have. Even if they were a little unduly aggressive (I think I'll talk to him about it and remind him about WP:BITE), that doesn't give you the right to get hot and bothered in return, as much as you want to. Just like real life, you are responsible for your own behavior no matter what other people do.

We were all newbies once. May this be the only stain on your record. I look forward to possibly working with you a year from now on something and smirking about this. Daniel Case 03:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
