Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the Mirror page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. CattleGirl ^{talk | sign!} 03:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism, which under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Nyttend 23:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC) This was an error: see below for explanation

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Mall of America, you will be blocked from editing. This includes anything made after this warning is left. Nyttend 23:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC) This was an error: see below for explanation

My error

I'm sorry for all that with Mall of America and the Niles mall: I wasn't aware of such things, and the neither the Niles mall website nor the article on it gave me confidence in its being so large. I've restored the page to your edition, before my changes, except one thing: I linked to the page you referred me to, which proves the size of the Niles mall. I'll just say one thing: please remember to cite your sources from now on, or others will think changes such as this are vandalism. Nyttend 00:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

People don't have to live in a place their whole lives to be listed there; they simply have to have lived there at some time. The thing with Holyfield is that his article didn't list Southington. Since you've found sources for that, please put him back IF you properly source him. Since you have a reference for the baseball player, I can know that he's a real person, so put him back, too. However, please don't put back the local celebrity, since he's only a local celebrity (unless you can find a reference to the contrary). Nyttend 01:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Southington, Mike Tyson, Eastwood Mall, and other Trumbull County topics

Slainte, Appropriatusername! I've seen some of your edits concerning articles of interest in Trumbull County, Ohio, and I must say I'm impressed. I do have this suggestion, though: Notable residents of Southington Township, Trumbull County, Ohio such as Mike Tyson should be added to that page, instead of (or perhaps in addition to) Warren, Ohio. The article at Warren, Ohio deals with that city, and as a former resident of Windham Township, Portage County, Ohio I'd like to see more added to articles dealing with other places in that area. -- SwissCelt 18:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
