This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Stop vandalizing FA Cup 2008-09

Don't be so deceitful. Constructive edits are not vandalism. You know that full well. You have been reverting everything anyone adds without discussion and without good reason. THAT is obvious vandalism. You will have to accept that people will disagree with you. That is the principle of Wikipedia. --Dr Robert Taylor (talk) 14:31, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are a new user. Experienced users like PeeJay2K3 also doesn't want these information to be included or excluded. Syjytg (talk) 14:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The level of experience of an editor does not give any additional rights. Some elements are only being reverted by you. You are simply trying to have your way by any means possible. It appears that you have also broken a Wikipedia regulation - a "3RR Violation". --Dr Robert Taylor (talk) 14:45, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

March 2009[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule at FA Cup 2008–09. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-colons[edit]

If you have lectured in the English language, you may wish to look over your notes on the use of semi-colons. The use of the semi-colon in the lead section of FA Cup 2008–09 was completely appropriate as it linked two related sentences; the first was about the number of clubs that were accepted into the tournament, and the second was about a club that had to withdraw. – PeeJay 14:58, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The sentences didn't need to be linked. Semi-colons are progressively seen as old fashioned. Statistically, their use has continuously and rapidly declined. Amongst academics, two separate sentences are presently seen as better. --Dr Robert Taylor (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can you prove that? – PeeJay 16:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
