Vandalism[edit]

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you were just trying to experiment, then use the sandbox instead. Thank you. -- Nomen Nescio 09:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. It is possible to explain on the talk page why you think these edits are legitimate.-- Nomen Nescio 09:11, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete Iraq and insert the US as Police state again. That clearly constitutes vandalism.-- Nomen Nescio 09:23, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Stop adding the US to the article, you know this is wanton distortion of facts.-- Nomen Nescio 09:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here we go again[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have had your fun, cut it out.-- Nomen Nescio 17:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't delete warnings against you; further attempts to do so will be considered vandalism as well. Now, because you haven't vandalized any other article since User:Nescio's last warning, I've chosen not blocking you yet. Please don't force me to change my mind. --Nlu (talk) 18:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. --Nlu (talk) 18:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Despite this, I'm going to hope that you were trying to contribute in good faith, but please do read up on NPOV and Edit war. Your behavior was not at all productive. If you want to argue that the United States is a police state, you should have discussed it with others instead of unilaterally imposing your viewpoint (particularly because you were deleting other countries from the list). I am hoping that when the block expires you will contribute in a positive manner. Discuss your changes (say, for example, on Talk:Police state). I am hoping that I don't need to do this again. --Nlu (talk) 18:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
