Enough. Why do you keep deleting that sentence? Alientraveller 10:55, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Jack Sparrow, you will be blocked from editing. Alientraveller 08:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Black people[edit]

Please do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason as you did with Black people, which should be specified in the edit summary. If you believe it should not be in the article please discuss it on the article's talk page. Thank you. - Jeeny ^Talk 09:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

September 2007[edit]

List of best-selling video games[edit]

Please read Talk:List of best-selling video games#GTA sales and discuss there before making anymore changes to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' sales number on List of best-selling video games. --Silver Edge (talk) 04:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, apparently you have been told to come with us to discuss about the GTA sales. Please do so before changing the article again. Thanks for understanding! -- ReyBrujo (talk) 01:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jamaica[edit]

Please stop adding your unsourced info on Rastafarianism to the Jamaica Religion section. Everything you are adding is already in the Culture section, but without the grammar errors. Per this page, you have a habit of making non-consensual edits without discussion, then continuing to revert them. Such behavior may result in you account being blocked. Thanks for your co-operation and over-standing. - BillCJ (talk) 02:03, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2007[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jamaica. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. - BillCJ (talk) 06:36, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Jamaica. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. - BillCJ (talk) 07:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Jamaica. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. - BillCJ (talk) 07:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bill asked me to look at this and I have to agree with him. Everything here has to be verifiable from reliable sources. It is also very bad form to remove material without giving a reason. Finally adding material on a religion you subscribe to may involve you in a conflict of interest. Let me know if you need any help conforming to our policies. --John (talk) 15:53, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning for deleting material from the article on Jamaica. If you do this again you will be blocked. Please bring your proposals to the article's talk page and see if you can achieve consensus for them there instead. Thanks, --John (talk) 17:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Op. Deo (talk) 18:38, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

January 2008[edit]

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
