This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you delete or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to The Stolen Earth, you will be blocked from editing. Sceptre ^(talk) 10:46, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Your question re: Warning templates

Hi! Any editor on Wikipedia has the authority to remind other editors of the rules and policies of Wikipedia by using standardized Templates. They are to be used only when the specific policy has been, or may about to be broken. The standard template reminds the "offending" editor that their actions could be subject to administrative action, which includes blocks from Wikipedia. Of course, only administrators can block, but anybody can warn that you can be blocked. So, the short for is: that individual may or may not have the ability to block, but they have the right to warn that your actions could lead to blocks.

Admins also use the same templates ... of course, usually there are escalating levels of templating ... you probably got the wrong one - an editor was a little fast on the trigger finger. (talk→ Bwilkins / BMW ←track) 17:45, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
