My warm welcome:
Please do not describe a legitimate dispute over content as vandalism. See Wikipedia:Civility. There is no need for this dispute to be adversarial. Gamaliel 01:49, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
I see you have entirely missed the point of my message. A disagreement over which section to place material in is a content dispute. It is not "vandalism" and it is quite rude of you to describe it as such. Please read our rules such as Wikipedia:Civility. Editing Wikipedia articles is a collaborative process, not an adversarial one, and there is no reason for you to make such a simple dispute into an adversarial conflict. Gamaliel 02:18, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Heh Big, you should know that the above-user is also an admin, and frequently uses/abuses its admin powers to prevail in edit wars. Expect the next move to be stalking editing of your edits, deleting all of your changes, placing you on its "watch" page, and generally harassing you until it gets its way or moves on to another victim. Its hypocritcal use of Wikipedia rules is famous here, but rest assured that it is in fact violating Wikipedia when it makes its attack run, and eventually will be stripped of its admin powers once the rest of the admin community wakes up. I will be watching your interactions with this abuser, and will support you in your disputes with it, for which I will be punished. Morton devonshire 05:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
At this point, it is clear that you're not going to listen to anything I say, but I urge you to be cautious before accepting advice about Wikipedia from someone who has run into as many conflicts as Morton devonshire has. Gamaliel 05:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
I've been on wikipedia for about 2 weeks and I can see the problem already. "Administrators". With power comes abuse, it's human nature and can't be helped. Administrators have the elevated power to foist their POV onto articles, as I just experienced in the Michael Savage article. They have the power to block your user account, so you'll probably lose in a revert war as they'll hang that over your head. I'm sure there are hundreds of great administrators, but I happen to come across the one trouble maker. Just when you think something is cool, along come the annoying gnats that have to ruin it. It's obvious this one person can't see through their own narrow bias. They have trouble with other users as well. So, I've backed off wikipedia. I see it as an interesting curiosity; sometimes fun and informative, other times an embarrassing joke.-- Bigplankton 23:57, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Can you send me a link to what you were talking about -- couldn't follow what you were saying. Morton devonshire 20:55, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Bigplankton! You made something of a barbed comment on the page World War I casualties. Whilst I agree that the opening paragraph could have been read as misleading (the original writer used "almost" when "about" would have been better), it's preferred to make alterations to the article or comment on the talk page. It's not good form to make comments in the article itself, where your comments can be seen by casual readers of our encyclopedia. Your actions could easily be mistaken for vandalism. Please comment on talk pages and make changes to articles rather than the other way around from now on. If you need any help or advice, please let me know on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. Thanks! ➨ ❝ R E DVERS ❞ 19:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I see you have never been warmly welcomed, so here.
Thanks for uploading Image:Diane lane publicity photo 1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Oden 01:42, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Lisette_melendez.jpeg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Bleh999 03:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
