Wikipedia's banning policy states that "Any edits made in defiance of a ban may be reverted to enforce the ban, regardless of the merits of the edits themselves. As the banned user is not authorized to make those edits, there is no need to discuss them prior to reversion."
It is now 27 September and Cody has failed to respond or stop making the disruptive or unproductive edits as other editors have repeatedly requested. I am upgrading the warning to a level 4 and plan to request that he be permanently blocked next week if he fails to change his behavior. - Jeremy (Jerem4302:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]
It is now 22 September and It appears that Cody took a week off starting on the 16th, however he starting to edit again and appears to be up to his old tricks. His recent contributions appear to be good faith edits but he continues his pattern of unjustified page moves, redundant entries and failing to cite his edits. I am going to monitor his edits and ask that other editors who find issues with his edit note it down. It may have to come down to issuing a level 4 warning. - Jeremy (Jerem4300:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC))[reply]

In regards to your edit of the CBS Records article, the sentence is about the record 'label'. The earlier CBS Records label (which operated outside North America and issued records issued in North America on the Columbia label) is now called Columbia Records (except in Japan). The record 'company' is now called Sony/BMG which operates several record labels. Columbia Records' then parent CBS founded the CBS Records label which issued Columbia recordings outside North America. Read the Columbia Records article for more information.Steelbeard101:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on FoodSaver, by SLSB (talk·contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting FoodSaver, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Please stop adding this quote to the WNYW article. This slogan is no longer used on their newscasts, and it also has nothing to do with the meaning of the call letters. the WNYW call sign was a disambiguation of the previous calls, WNEW-TV, which needed to be changed when News Corp. purchased channel 5 in 1986. The slogan "What New Yorkers Watch" was implied to be derived from WNYW in the promos, but it was not the other way around.
Either way, stop adding this incorrect material to the article. Rollosmokes
You continue to make the same incorrect edits to WNYW. You continue to evade discussion on your talk page. I have tried to reach out to you, and with nothing to show for it. You have left me no choice but to seek administrator assistance.
For the FINAL TIME, the call letters WNYW were solely a disambiguation from the former call letters WNEW-TV. They were not taken from the slogan "What New Yorkers Watch". Twenty years later, the slogan was derived from the call letters, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Please stop adding this incorrect information. Rollosmokes04:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Snakka, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi - a stub template or category which you created has been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub type, which was not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, does not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding this stub type, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha?00:46, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hopeful that the handful of improvements I've made to this article will satisfy the immediate concerns while acknowledging that this is an article in need of serious expansion. The simple fact that the single was a Billboard Hot 100 #1 in 1988 should be enough notability. - Dravecky08:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What's going on with WNYW? It looks like you keep re-adding the fact that WNYW stands for "What New Yorkers Watch". The station has had the WNYW call signs since 1986, probably long before the current slogan was created; stations call signs aren't usually assigned based on station slogans. Please remember that any content you add to Wikipedia should be verifiable, and if it can't be verified, it can be removed (and it has been, several times). You can respond here, or on my talk page, or on talk:WNYW. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester09:19, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And, as I told you, he doesn't respond to messages. He readded the slogan again to WNYW in this edit ([1]), and also readded the incorrect news branding at WABC-TV ([2]). I reverted those changes in both articles for the umpteenth time. Rollosmokes17:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is with great reluctance that I am blocking your account for 24 hours. It appears that some of the information that you have been adding to television station articles is false or incorrect. Repeated attempts to contact you have failed, and you continue to add this uncited, unverifiable information to the articles in a slow edit war. I can unblock your account, but I need to know that you are willing and able to communicate with other Wikipedia editors in the spirit of collaboration.

Hello Codyfinke6. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue that you may be involved with. You are free to comment at the discussion, but please remember to keep your comments within the bounds of the civility and "no personal attack" policies. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Don Francisco Gourmet Coffee, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable.

I'm wondering whether it's a copyright violation. Are you quoting just a section of the song, or the whole song? How much of a song can one quote without violating copyright?
