Warning comment

Please note that you have no authority to give a warning such as this:

" Hello, your profile will be blocked the next time you messed with Wikipedia articles. Also your IP address will be permanently banned! "

that you gave to editor Portalsource, here, you posted it to the wrong page as well as discussions are carried out on the users talk-page, not their User page Please see Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace (wp:UTM) for a list of standardised warning templates for use on users talk-pages.

If you have difference of opinion with another editor about their edits then you either discuss it on their personal talk-page or on the talk-page of the article in question, and seek a consensus. See also Assume good faith (WP:AGF). Regards, 220 of ^Borg 21:46, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Last warning

You have already been warned about making cut-and-paste moves. Refer to that message for why they are inappropriate and in fact a copyright violation. If you continue making cut-and-paste moves, you may be blocked from editing. Jenks24 (talk) 03:56, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2016

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for repeated cut-and-paste moves after a final warning. You will be allowed to return to editing once you can show that you understand why cut-and-paste moves are wrong and promise not to make any more of them. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jenks24 (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
