Welcome and a further warning

Welcome to Wikipedia! :) I am sorry to see that your behaviour has led to your being blocked, and I hope that after you return you will make many edits to improve Wikipedia.

I must, however, warn you that giving out inappropriate warnings is in itself an especially unpleasant form of vandalism. Your remarks violated wp:BLP, and any editor should remove any such remarks at once, whether on an article page or a talk page. Therefore, your warning was not appropriate. The edit was accompanied by a link to wp:BLP which explains that the editor should immediately remove statements that violate wp:BLP.
