Your "warnings"

[edit]

Thanks for your help with fighting vandalism, but making veiled threats like these [1][2] are also unhelpful and can be considered uncivil. Please consider being more polite in your warnings; consider using the appropriate vandalism template to warn editors. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


You have been temporarily blocked from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Ed (Edgar181) 15:09, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I'm being blocked for not wording my warnings right? Seriously?

Decline reason:

Yes, seriously. However if you agree to use the standard warnings from now on, and agree to sort out the issues that Peter has explained below, I think an unblock should be possible. PhilKnight (talk) 15:17, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Info on standard warnings

[edit]

Warning templates should always be used with the "subst:" keyword, as strongly suggested on Wikipedia:Template substitution. They are shown without subst here to reduce the display space occupied by this table, not to encourage their use without subst. For example, type {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}~~~~ (not {{uw-vandalism1}}) to warn common first-time vandals.

The levels of templates are:

  1. Assumes good faith
  2. No faith assumption
  3. Assumes bad faith; stern cease and desist
  4. Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning

Username and userspace images

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Rick "I shoot dead people" Grimes, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is offensive. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Also please remove the images from your userspace for the same reason. Peter 15:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Unblock me and i'll put in a request there to change my name. Rick "I shoot dead people" Grimes (talk) 15:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll unblock you on the condition that you only edit to deal with the problems I listed above. If you carry on editing for anything else I'll re-block straight away for longer. Peter 15:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Done. You are now unblocked for the above purpose. Peter 15:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Your autoblock is still owning me.

Try again. Peter 15:33, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

there you go. Rick "I shoot dead people" Grimes (talk) 15:42, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Violent images on talk/user.

[edit]

I've removed the two violent images from your talk/user page, as some users may find them disturbing, and it is against our policy on userspace to have any image on your userpage that might bring the project into disrepute. Thanks. Claritas § 17:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
