Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Hi, and welcome. If you post nonsense articles they will be deleted on sight. If you persist, you can be blocked from editing. Please have a go at a constructive article, thanks, jimfbleak 17:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please be civil if you want a reply. The article is unverifiable. jimfbleak 17:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

  An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Wikipedia user suspects that, perhaps innocently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them. While Section 230 of the United States Communications Decency Act may protect Wikipedia from being sued for defamation, it may not protect the person who posted defamation on a Wikipedia page. The Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees has ruled that: "Where the user has been vandalizing articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, [personal information] data may be released to assist in the targeting of IP blocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers." (Wikimedia privacy policy in full)

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. If the material is still there, remove it at once. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Don't repeat the claim(s). The edit(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.

Please read Template:Hangon: "Note that this request is not binding, and the page may still be deleted if it is considered that the page unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if the promised explanation is not provided very soon."

Per our policy Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, potentially libelous material, especially when produced with no citations or support of any sort, must be quickly deleted. A {{hangon}} tag does not override that necessity. Fan-1967 17:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
 

I note your threatening tone to User:Aecis. So far your contributions have amounted to a spoof article, which you have then pretended is real, a copyright image falsely labelled as PD, and offensive postings to other users. I'm therefore going to block you for a short period so you can decide whether you want to make useful contributions or get permanently blocked from editing. jimfbleak 07:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
