User talk:Michaelgotta

Do not vandalize Wikipedia, as you have done in all of your edits. I hope you will start making constructive additions, but any further vandalism will lead to you being blocked, along with the IP 71.79.152.73, which has been making similar edits. You wouldn't happen to live in Herndon and get your internet from RoadRunner, would you? Michaelbusch 17:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you feel like I'm vandalizing Wikipedia Michaelbusch, but I wasn't. My edit on Angels was very much truthful. I have a friend that is an Angelologist and told me all about what she has studied. I was trying to make a real contribution. The red hair edits were by my friend messing around, and he logged into my account. And by the way, I have no idea where Herndon is, such as its state or any major cities by it, and I don't use RoadRunner internet service. Are you stalking someone in Herndon????

You may have a problem. The IP 71.79.152.73, which traces to a RoadRunner address in Herndon, VA, was used to vandalize the Red hair article, leaving the name "Mike Gotta" in various inappropriate locations. Similarly, edits listed to you (see [[1]]) on the Red Hair article constitute vandalism. I was wondering if there was a connection. It is possible that there is a duplicate user name or it may merely be a coincidence.

I am afraid that your recent edits to Angel do constitute vandalism, under Wikipedia:Vandalism concerning addition to nonsense and non-NPOV material. "My friend told me" does not constitute a reliable source or, more applicable in this case, evidence for widely-held opinion. The style of writing also needs work (please see Wikipedia:Style. I also wonder why IP 24.154.210.229, which traces to Armstrong Cable Services, vandalized the Angel article in a manner similar to your recent edits.

Your edits to St. Vincent - St. Mary High School do follow Wikipedia policy.

I am out of my depth here. I will place notice of this problem to the Admins. I apologize for the confusion and any offense. Michaelbusch 06:37, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to recent comment on my talk page:

How can I make my post about angels from a reliable source? It's her field of study, and I think she knows more about what she is talking about than someone that just says something about the root meaning of angel or something. I won't re-post it until I know how to make it reliable then. There must either be a duplicate user name about the service because I don't even know where Herndon, VA is. I still think its bad you can track people like that, and you should stop. Where someone lives is their personal business, and you shouldn't be able to figure that out from an IP address. Please stop trying to figure out where I'm from. I forgive you, but I don't think it's your position to threaten to block me, either, unless you're an admin. Thanks for your concern.--Michael 11:42, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources must be citable, verifiable, and not speculative. So, for example, it is entirely reasonable to give a history of angels as they appear in the Judeo-Christian, Islamic, or Zoroasterian traditions, but it is not at all reasonable to give a paragraph of speculation based on depictions of angels in Renaissance-style Western European paintings, unless it is part of a discussion of depictions of angels in Art.

Note: Concerning IP-tracing: this is an infrequently used but trivial command in networking, most commonly used to locate malfunctioning machines. Because you have registered as a user of Wikipedia, your edits can no longer be traced to a particular IP.

It is Wikipedia policy to allow users to warn suspected vandals of blocks. However, only Admins can enforce blocks. Currently, User:Konstable is investigating what has happened. Michaelbusch 16:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ok?? what is "Currently, User:Konstable is investigating what has happened." supposed to mean? Is he gonna try to block me or something? I didnt do anything that deserves that, cause first off, I didn't mean to be considered vadalizing, and so that's not fair at all. It's not your place to report me when I didn't do it on purpose, and plus you're not even an admin. So I think telling an admin was kind of a jerkish thing to do when you know I didn't do it on purpose. So, please get off my case.
