Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.  CET  ♔  09:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  CET  ♔  09:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for your disruption caused by your engagement in an edit war at Chrissie Maher. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Please discuss, don't edit-war

You cannot simply remove information because you do not like it. The way Wikipedia works is described by WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle - if you see a change that would improve the encyclopedia, be BOLD and make it; but if another editor then reverts your change, do not simply re-revert, but discuss your proposal on the article talk page and try to reach WP:Consensus with other editors. If you do not succeed, use the WP:Dispute resolution process.

If you have a problem with the article Chrissie Maher, and particularly if you are or are connected to its subject, see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help for advice on what to do. JohnCD (talk) 10:02, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Unblocked

Now that the immediate edit-war is over, I have unblocked this account, though the article is "semi-protected" for the moment so that new users and IPs cannot edit it. I have also started a discussion of the issue at WP:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Chrissie Maher where experienced, uninvolved users can help decide what this article should say. You may contribute there if you wish; please sign any comments you make by ending them with four "tilde" characters ~~~~ which the system will turn into a signature of your username and the time and date - like this: JohnCD (talk) 11:32, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
