~~== Vandalism warning ==~~

~~Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Stephen Hawking. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Gwernol 03:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]

~~:Yes, right. Here's two warning for that little gem:~~

With regards to your comments on User talk:Gwernol: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Gwernol 04:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to User talk:Gwernol, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gwernol 04:01, 5 January 2007 (UTC)~~[reply]

~~== Final warning ==~~

Okay, very funny. Now stop or I'll indefinitely block this account for trolling and vandalism. Posting obviously fake information to the Stephen Hawking article is not acceptable. Nor is make personal attacks against me for clearing up the mess you made. Please don't make the mistake of thinking I will fall for your "innocent" act just because your name is Misty. You've burnt that bridge already. Gwernol 04:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Being uncivil is not a good way to make friends with an Admin. Your posts would count as a personal attack and could have gotten you blocked.

As for how to post, I suggest starting new conversations using the + tab at the top. It's next to the Edit tab and creates a new section for you with your edit summary as the subject header.

Based on Gwernol's comments, I also have to suggest you learn how to cite references and what is acceptable in articles. That varies. The strictest rules involve the biographies of living persons. Will (Talk - contribs) 07:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apology

I owe you an apology. I overreacted to your initial post and allowed the situation to get out of hand. Following the refernece posted by User:Kevh2000 to my talk page I see that you were correct and I was wrong. I didn't assume good faith as I should have done and as a result I ended up antagonizing you when I should not have. Please accept my humble apologies; I will try to learn from this and make sure it doesn't happen again. I hope you can understand that this was my error, not Wikipedia's an I would like you to return to editing the encyclopedia despite my lack of grace. With much regret, Gwernol 15:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
