Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Talk:Cannabis (drug), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. NJGW (talk) 15:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Please be careful where you place things on talk pages. Create a new section for new topics (use the tab with a plus sign next to "edit"), and leave a line before the comment preceding yours (so they don't run together). NJGW (talk) 02:43, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

October 2023

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Tom Hamilton (sportscaster). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please stop. Vjmlhds (talk) 17:46, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

How is it disruptive,all I did was give you the definition of signature. That’s hardly disruptive. Don’t be mad at me because I had told the truth. YOU stop posting shit that isn’t true. Good bye and good luck. Smokiewight (talk) 23:32, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

And revert all you like. Won’t stop me from re-reverting. Smokiewight (talk) 23:34, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

It's disruptive because you have not 1, but now 2 editors telling you to stop. There's no reason to remove referenced material, and the fact YOU don't like it doesn't count. That's not how this pop stand works. You want to take a hatchet to the article, gotta discuss it first. And BTW, using profanity doesn't make your argument any stronger, and kinda goes against WP:Civil. Vjmlhds (talk) 14:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Tim Anderson

Understand something. Since I’m an editor too,I have the prerogative to make changes how I see fit. If both of you look up the meaning of signature call,you wouldn’t be bothering me about it.It isn’t a matter of whether or not I like it. It’s about how the phrase applies. Last I checked,I’m a grown man and can swear if I feel like it. There’s nothing to discuss. Down goes Anderson is not something Hamilton uses every game. Harry Caray’s Holy Cow,THAT’S a signature call. Michael Kay’s See Ya! is a signature call. I suggest you look up that meaning and tell me how Hamilton’s call applies. I hope you get a better understanding of what a signature call is. Now both of you stop. And hop off of me. Smokiewight (talk) 03:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Please don't start this again. You are making the same arguments that were rejected before. By the way, I'm a grown man too, and as a grown up, I understand what WP:Civil means. This ain't your mancave, you just can't throw swear words around here willy-nilly. And please don't go down the "look up what signature call means" road. One, it's subjective, and two there is no "word of God" definition for it...it can mean different things to different people. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:59, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

But not in this instance. Signature means they do this everytime. Like when Celine Dion sings My heart will go on,THAT’S her signature song. Why am I even wasting my time. You don’t and won’t wanna talk to me like I’m some kind of scrub. I don’t have a mancave,and,in this discussion,I only swore one. Signature calls are not objective and every phrase means something. And whether or not you agree with me,it doesn’t change that. Smokiewight (talk) 22:18, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

November 2023
