Josao

Thanks for your contribution to New Zealand Music Awards, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. I hope you can help us out! --Dom

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Cristiano Ronaldo, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Vickser 14:09, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edit made to Walrus:

The joke is getting old. Humor's great, but Wikipedia is a serious encyclopedia. It is time to straighten up and make serious contributions. Dom 01:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

As they say in the movies, "oh be-have". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive). Maybe you should check out Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense.

More Vandalism

Great. So, not only are you still making 'funny' edits, you're doing it to one of the pages (New Zealand Music Awards) that I've already, nicely, warned you about. That's pretty antagonistic. Anyway, here's another warning: I'd encourage anyone experiencing further vandalism from this user to list the user at Administrator Intervention Against Vandalism.

OK, it is time for your joking to end. You are potentially offending people, both here in the Wikipedia community and the wider readership. What you are doing could be seen as vandalism and you could get blocked from editing Wikipedia for it. You might not get another warning before having a block imposed, so be careful and be serious from now on.

Your edit to Cristiano Ronaldo

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, as you did to Cristiano Ronaldo, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. x42bn6 Talk 19:14, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Your vandalism to Wynton Rufer

You have added this inappropriate pov rant (unsourced original research) 5 times now. I have passed this to an Admin. Then I found that you had a talk-page. I would have warned you here first, if I had known. ^rossnixon 02:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome, Josao. While it's great that you are doing research on Wynton Rufer, please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a publisher of first instance. Wikipedia's Verifiability and no original research policies dictate that material added to Wikipedia should be cited from reliable and verifiable sources. Thanks, --Clubjuggle 14:31, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe Clubjuggle also summarized my stance as far as why your edits were considered unconstructive. In addition to that you were not adhering to Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy by using passages like "dislike both the man and his methods."¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
