Your changes to presidential articles are being contested
editThe editor Fdewaele disapproves of the changes you make to the portraits of assorted presidents. According to the Wikipedia principle of bold, revert, discuss you should stop making those changes and instead discuss them with your opponent. Favonian (talk) 19:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
- Ahem! With this edit, your actions are taking on a rather disruptive turn. Please stop, or I'll have to take forceful measures. Favonian (talk) 19:21, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Favonian (talk) 19:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I'm BusterD. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Zachary Taylor because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at James K. Polk, you may be blocked from editing. BusterD (talk) 20:19, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
US Presidential infoboxes
editPlease stop changing the photo in those infoboxes to paintings. Whenever an actual photo of the person exists, it trumps a painting. Especially when it already features in the article. -- fdewaele, 30 October 2014, 21:25.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add an inappropriate image, as you did at Ulysses S. Grant. BusterD (talk) 20:30, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
You have been blocked for an indefinite period of time.
editFirst, let me say that "indefinite" doesn't mean forever, but it does mean until we are convinced you have enough clue that you can come back and edit productively. I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with the presidents photo edits, except you keep breaking them and irritating a lot of people. Maybe you are just experimenting and can't get it to work. If that is the case, then you need to find a better place, like the sandbox. Any of us can show you how to copy and paste and set it up for testing. I use my sandbox all the time, that is what it is there for.'
Maybe you are trying to link images off wiki, or just don't understand what you are doing. Fine, we all have to learn, but again, use the sandbox, and read up on editing here. Just ask, lots of us actually enjoy helping new people. Or maybe you are just a vandal. I don't know, maybe. If that is the case, Wikipedia is actually a bad place to vandalize, as we have so many people watching everything and vandalism gets reverted pretty quickly.
Regardless, you are blocked from editing until myself or another admin unblocks you. If you are serious about editing and want to try to do stuff right, I suggest you start a discussion here and figure out a path forward. As with any block I make, any admin is free to modify or remove without my permission. I just want to make sure we get to a point where all this disruptive editing isn't likely to happen again, so we can all get back to editing. Dennis - 2¢ 20:41, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
