Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Travis Rust. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Perel 07:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Travis, no-one ever told you that you could go to wikipedia and write about yourself. On the contrary, the guidance states very specifically that articles about non-notable persons (among other things) are not thought to be acceptable. As an account-holder, you can write all you want to about yourself on your talk-page.

- Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Travis Rust. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Longhair\talkSucks 22:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
- You can write whatever you want, within the recognised Wikipedia guidelines. That does not mean that articles you write are necessarily retained, and it certainly does not mean you can post threatening messages onto my, or any other, userpage. This is regarded as vandalism, as being in breach of WP:ATTACK. Persistent breach of this guideline is liable to cause you to be blocked from editing our encyclopedia.--Anthony.bradbury 23:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Please do not target one or more user's pages or talk pages for abuse or insults, unwarranted doctoring or blanking. It can be seen as vandalism and may get you blocked from editing Wikipedia. Melchoir 03:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to target users' pages for vandalism you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Melchoir 05:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a user's page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Melchoir 05:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Blocked for 24 hours
editPlease do not make personal attacks on other people as you did at Brandon Rust. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:
- Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
- Make your case on the article's talk page.
Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Subwayguy 06:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
I've speedily deleted this, since it appeared to be an attempt to create an RfA in article space. Please note that such pages should be created in the Wikipedia namespace, as a subpage of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. Thanks! Luna Santin 09:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'd recommend you stick around awhile and edit, until you're more familiar with the workings of Wikipedia, before requesting adminship. You can find all sorts of interesting tasks at the Community Portal. :) Where people are willing and able to lend a helping hand, Wikipedia is always happy to welcome them in.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
