Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to IPmanager. Readers looking for serious articles will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write (almost) whatever you want. — alex.muller ( talk • edits) 23:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC) reply

The recent edit you made to Stefano Domenicali constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Scarian ^{Call me Pat} 23:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)) reply

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Irish road bowling. Poeloq ( talk) 23:19, 22 January 2008 (UTC) reply
