An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Wikipedia user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them. While Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act may protect Wikipedia from being sued for defamation, it may not protect the person who posted a defamatory claim on a Wikipedia page. The Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees has ruled that: "Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, [personal information] data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers." (Wikimedia privacy policy in full)

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. If the material is still there, remove it immediately.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Don't repeat the claims. The claim can then be deleted from the page history.

Fine. Just keep your opinions of her off of a worldwide stage and please read the very gentle warning above. You can be sued over your attacks. - Lucky 6.9 06:01, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No personal attacks.

[edit]

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. - Stephanie Daugherty (Triona) - Talk - Comment - 06:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC) It wasn't a personal attack. I simply made an observation.[reply]

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Ladonna. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Wildthing61476 20:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Ladonna. Your test worked, and has been or will soon be removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. (aeropagitica) 20:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC) It wasn't a test. It was a continuation of a previous arugment I was making in reference to my well thought out article on Ladonna. This person needs to be brought to society's version of justice. Stop deleting my articles.[reply]

Stop making attack articles. Wildthing61476 21:02, 3 October 2006 (UTC) It's just your opinion that it was an attack article. I believe it was simply an observation.[reply]
