Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:07, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ENGVAR

Please don't change the word color => colour as you did in the Fruit Fly article. The variety of english used is established by convention and is almost always the US variety - except on articles that are specific to Australia, or the UK, etc. --Merbabu (talk) 12:26, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

January 2011

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. "Wanker" is not generally considered an acceptable way to address other editors here. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:42, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not attack other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Neither is "you are a joke". SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:05, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Responding off-wiki

Hi! I'm very happy to discuss Schapelle Corby with you and look at how to improve the article, but it would, I think, be best if you responded on the talk page rather than pointing to responses posted elsewhere. If you keep the responses on the discussion page, others will be better able the follow what you have to say, and they won't be reliant on the continued existence of the off-wiki copy. The discussions we have here are often revisited over time, so ensuring that everyone's responses are given a fair opportunity to be evaluated is important, both in the short and long term. - Bilby (talk) 01:16, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AN/I notice

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your editing privileges have been indefinitely suspended

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

As noted in the block advice, you are engaged in Wikipedia:Disruptive editing in the form of Wikipedia:Tendentious editing, and using the threats of "exposure" of "censorship" in a blog maintained by you in an attempt to create a chilling effect upon other editors. From a review of your pages it is apparent that efforts have been made to appraise you of the proper Wikipedia editing model, which is the use of reliable sources to ensure Wikipedia:Due weight is given to all notable viewpoints on a subject, which then should achieve Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Per Wikipedia:NOTSOAPBOX, the encyclopedia is not a medium by which campaigns or viewpoints may be enabled - a distinction which you presumably are uninterested in applying to your efforts in editing one specific subject (you may also wish to review Wikipedia:Single purpose account).
In closing I would note that this sanction is indefinite, which does not mean unending. It can be lifted, upon appeal, by any admin who receives believable undertakings that problematic behaviours will cease and any future editing will be in good faith pursuance of policy and practice. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, Less Heard - seems clear. Kim Bax is saying on her blog that she is "banned forever" from wikipedia. Yet, she is neither WP:BAN'ed nor is it "forever". She is indefinitely blocked - a big difference on both counts. It's either a genuine misunderstanding, or simply an intentional (and yet another) misrepresentation that suits her? Either way, she doesn't understand, or chooses not to acknowldge that she understands the reason for the block. Whatever the case may be, it's not of much consequence.--Merbabu (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aw look: you've upset her, Mer. Meanwhile from the sidelines, Bustin Jieber (Justin's evil twin, or clone...something like that) watches with interest... HalfShadow 04:51, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This sort of taunting is entirely inappropriate. If you can't rise above a petty need to gloat, do so elsewhere. --12.42.51.28 (talk) 13:34, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I reluctantly agree with the OP. Plainly we are being taunted from off-wiki by this blocked user. However, we are supposed to rise above such things.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:02, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

(copied from Talk:Schapelle Corby)

Whether or not Kimpatriciabax (talk · contribs) is blocked, she's still a Wikipedia editor and subject to the provisions of WP:No personal attacks. Accusations of delusion or paranoia, etc. have no place here, ok? Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 00:24, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reblocked

I see no attempt to address the reasons for blocking, indeed, I see attempts to escalate. Accordingly, I have refactored the block to remove this editor's access to this Talk page. If thought appropriate, WP:GAB is the way for her to go, but personal vendettas will not be tolerated here. Rodhull andemu 02:56, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
