New Orleans, Louisiana

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Please provide sources for the numbers you are adding to the New Orleans, Louisiana article. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to add unsourced or original .content is considered vandalism and may result in a block. --ElKevbo 16:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding that the New Orleans population counts "will be met with criticism" and "will be seen as unstable and unreliable". This is blatantly POV. The article already says—twice—that the numbers are only unofficial estimates. I think that's plenty, and from the looks of the history page, I'm not the only one. If you can cite a source for your statement, that's a different matter. -Babomb 01:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Again, please stop adding this. I don't know why you're so adamant about this particular claim, but it's going to keep getting deleted unless you can cite a source for it. Wikipedia has a policy of No original research. -Babomb 11:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Please keep from adding excessive and unsourced statements. Your edit to the nickname "Hollywood South" is already stated later in the article, as is your edit to the population statement in the beginning. These introductory parts are meant to be a brief overview, with details later in the appropriate parts of the article. --Bobster687 03:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Bobster687 01:13, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure why you're so adamant about your edits to the article, but the population and Angelina/Brad information is already available later in the article. This introductory part shouldn't be too detailed. I am only deleting the information in the beginning to keep the article concise, as the article is already too long. I would like to delete this excess information, if you would allow me to do so. Doing this, I feel, helps the article to better meet wikipedia's standards. Thanks. --Bobster687 17:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to New Orleans, Louisiana. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Thank you. -Babomb 06:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Kobe Bryant

You are putting too much detail into the lead section of the Kobe Bryant article. The lead section is just a brief overview of what makes the subject notable. Please see WP:LEAD. Thanks! Mwelch 22:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Concur. Please stop adding this content to the lead, it has been reverted a number of times already. Your edits further suggest that you are not familiar with Wiki markup (in particular the [[article|alt-name]] syntax). Please discuss your changes on Talk:Kobe Bryant first. Simishag 23:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

"Reopening" sections on New Orleans-related pages

Your "Reopening" section edits to Lafitte Projects, Calliope Projects, Magnolia Projects and related pages are repetitive, as the sections are almost identical across all of the pages. I'll assume good faith here but some might see this as vandalism. More importantly, since the content is duplicated rather than linked, it's unlikely to be updated in every place at once. A single article on reopening, linked in to each page, would be more appropriate. Simishag 23:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

New Orleans, Louisiana

Please check this. Thank you. -- ReyBrujo 02:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in New Orleans, Louisiana. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. -- ReyBrujo 02:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Commentary in Dirk Nowitzki

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Dirk Nowitzki. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.--Ytny (talk) 04:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to add unsourced or original content, as you did to Dirk Nowitzki, is considered vandalism and may result in a block. —LOL 07:02, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. It appears you have not followed this policy at Dallas Mavericks. Please always follow our core policies. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Jmlk17 09:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced or original content to Wikipedia, as you did to Dallas Mavericks, you will be blocked from editing. —LOL 11:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop edit-warring and participate in the article's Talk page. It's clear that your edits are contentious (and a violation of our policy regarding biographies of living persons). It's obvious that you are eager to participate in Wikipedia and you are knowledgeable about the topics to which you regularly contribute. Please work with us, learn, and abide by Wikipedia policies, particularly WP:NPOV and WP:V. --ElKevbo 18:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

3RR violation

I've reported your violation of the Three-revert rule. I once again ask that you cease edit warring. --ElKevbo 13:14, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

WP:3RR violation

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

Talk pages

Deuce22, do you know how to use Talk pages? At the top of every article there is a tab labeled "discussion". If you click on it, you will be on that article's Talk page. That's where editors discuss proposed edits, issues, questions, and other matters related to the article.

Please begin using Talk pages! You were just blocked for violating the Three-revert rule but now that your block is over you've gone right back to making the same edits that got you blocked! I'm afraid that you're going to exhaust the patience of the Wikipedia community and end up banned if you don't begin cooperating with other editors. --ElKevbo 02:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

POV in Dirk Nowitzki and Dallas Mavericks, again

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop inserting the same commentary repeatedly, and take the time to read over Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view again. Thank you. --Ytny (talk) 03:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. —LOL 17:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

2 day block

Hi. Please try to understand Wikipedia policies and practices such as are detailed in Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and the Wikipedia:Manual of Style. If you are in dispute with other editors over what goes in an article, please try to enter into a discussion on the article talk page rather than repeated reverts. I have given you a two day block due to your continued problem edits despite attempts by several other editors to discuss with you. Please use your time out to review the linked policies. Hope this helps, -- Infrogmation 21:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Another warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --ElKevbo 01:23, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --ElKevbo 01:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --ElKevbo 03:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --waffle iron ^talk 20:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Removal of reference

Please explain why you removed a reference from the Louisiana article. --ElKevbo 01:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Misinformation

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Kevin Garnett.[1][2] Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. —LOL 01:52, 15 August 2007 (UTC) —LOL 01:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

New Orleans, Louisiana #3
