A minor problem

Hi Ctx15, I really hate to pounce on one of your first edits, but something seems to have gone wrong, and I’ve reverted your recent edit on the page pretty much all of your contributions so far.

Sorry for the length of this message, but since you haven’t been here before, it’s hard to tell if this was a test, a mistake, if you’re editing in pieces and weren’t done, or if this was vandalism. And there's always the very real possibility that I've made a mistake.

• If it was a test edit, please experiment in the sandbox instead of in articles. You can do anything you like in the sandbox (within reason), without people like me sticking our noses in. Or, you can experiment in your own, personal sandbox here: User:Ctx15/Sandbox.
• If it was a mistake, don’t worry about it. Wiki’s make undoing mistakes easy. If you were about to revert your own mistake and I beat you to it, sorry for jumping the gun.
• If you are doing things in stages, please use an edit summary explaining what you’re doing, and people who see your edit will give you time to finish up. In fact, it’s a good idea to always use an edit summary to explain your edit.
• If it was vandalism, well, please don’t do that. It takes a lot of effort to revert vandalism, and it can get you blocked from editing articles.
• Finally, if I've reverted a legitimate edit by mistake, then I apologize. Please feel free to put it back, but make sure to use an edit summary or leave an explanation on the article's talk page so I (and others) know to leave it alone this time.

If you’d like to discuss this, or anything else, please leave me a message at the bottom of my talk page. --barneca (talk) 00:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Continuing vandalism

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to South Branch‎, you will be blocked from editing.
Your sister was partially right; anyone can edit this encyclopedia, but if you keep vandalizing, your editing privledge will be taken away. Read WP:Vandalism and WP:Block for more info. If you vandalize it "on your computer", it is vandalized on everyone else's computer too. I'm sorry to hear about your problems (per your comments on my talk page), but you need to either start editing constructively, or find something else on the internet to do. --barneca (talk) 01:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Nationalpb for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. —Torc. ^(Talk.) 09:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
