You aren't that cool.

I can do it. --ICanDoItNineTimes 18:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Facts

• I'm not that cool.

• User:Edward isn't that cool.

• The population of elephants has tripled in the last month, the second largest population growth in that time, second only to that of User:Edwards.

This is your last warning. Please continue adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to my ass. It is considered awesome. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox.

Shut it up, you!

Shut it up, you!

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for vandalizing Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you are welcome to come back after the block expires. Yamla 14:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Unreasonable block

I protest this outrageous assault on my own credibility. If User:Yamla, who waited a full minute to revert my edit to elephant, had taken the time to look at the link I added to the edit, he would have seen that the information was correct. At the very worst I could see someone making the case that the information about the florida panther would not belong on the elephant page; that would be fine. I just thought, with all the recent negativity associated with the phrase "the elephant population has tripled," this information was in fact pertinant. The fact that Yamla not only reverted the edit, calling it vandalism, but BLOCKED me for 24 hours because of this so-called offense, is completely ridiculous. Maybe if you came down from your Ivory Tower once in a while, you would actually see that there are people out there that want to help Wikipedia. In fact, I consider your ban on me a personal attack. Please see WP:NPA.

I didn't know how the unblock tag worked...

I have decided to unblock you despite clear evidence that you are a Colbert vandal. However, I will assume good faith. Any further evidence of vandalism will result in an immediate block, however. --Yamla 16:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Roy G. Biv

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Roy G. Biv. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. Thank you.

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!
