September 2007

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 04:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

"Minor" edits

Hi Atikokan, please don't mark edits as minor unless they really are minor. Correcting a typo is minor; adding a comment to a talk page is not. If you weren't aware that you were marking edits like this, go to the "My preferences" tab at the top of the page; then click on the "Editing" tab. You may have "Mark all edits minor by default" checked. I recommend unchecking it; it's generally better to err on the side of major! There's more information at WP:minor. Thanks! garik (talk) 16:29, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Jo Frost

Welcome, please take a look through WP:TALK. Talk pages are intended for discussion on improvements to the article they are attached to. You should refrain from commenting on other contributor's grammar, if that is the sole purpose of a comment (see also WP:NPA). DP76764 (Talk) 18:29, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Nazism

Please take the warning above seriously. Do not use talk pages as a general discussion of the subject, as you did here, they are meant solely for article improvement. If you ignore these warnings in the future you may end up being blocked. --Saddhiyama (talk) 10:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

April 2011

Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Mujahideen for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. — anndelion (talk) 06:26, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not use talk pages such as Talk:Dan for Mayor for general discussion of the topic. They are for discussion related to improving the article. They are not to be used as a forum or chat room. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. See here for more information. Thank you. 117Avenue (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

This is your last warning; the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Talk:Lying down game, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Saddhiyama (talk) 21:23, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

More information needed about File:Canadawineregions circles.png

Thanks for uploading File:Canadawineregions circles.png. However, it needs some more work before it is okay to use on Wikipedia.

Please click here and do the following:

1. Add a description of where the image comes from (not what it is) and who the creator is. Please be specific, and include a link if you can.
2. Find the appropriate license from the list of free, non-free media, or public domain options. Copy the license template and paste it in the file's page, and save.

If you follow these steps, your image can help enhance Wikipedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the media copyright questions page.

Thank you for your contribution! --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 04:05, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

April 2012

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Talk:Deepsea Challenger, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have been warned about this before. You will be blocked if you continue. Mlpearc (powwow) 03:45, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Sorry, but your disruptive talk page comments such as this one are unwelcome on Wikipedia. We are here to build an encyclopedia; political commentary and soapboxing do not further that goal. I have no problem unblocking you if you promise to keep your talk page comments constructive in the future (this is a good example, although fixing it yourself would cut out the middle man). See the links above for how to go about getting unblocked. -RunningOnBrains^(talk) 07:51, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

December 2013

You have been blocked from editing again, this time for a longer period than before, for continuing exactly the same kind of disruptive editing that led to your previous block. You have received messages about misusing talk pages for nearly three years, and the problem goes back very much longer than that, though you were not warned about it earlier. Despite your inclusion of passing remarks such as "So I think that needs some treatment in this article" to attempt to relate your comments to editing the articles, it is perfectly clear that edits such as this edit and this one are not in any real sense concerned with contributing to building the encyclopaedia, but are part of your continuing campaign of using Wikipedia's article talk pages as forums for expressing your views about politics, the nature of Canada, and various other issues that you clearly feel strongly about. There are plenty of blogs, online forums, etc, where you can do this sort of thing, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it. If you continue in the same way after this block, you may well find yourself blocked indefinitely, since unconstructive talk page editing constitutes the overwhelming majority of your editing, totally swamping the small proportion of your edits (almost all of them trivial) to articles.
