Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

OK, but your recent incivility and argumentativeness will result in a further block if you're not careful. You say at the top of your user page to 'please be civil' - that's good advice you should take care to follow yourself.

Warning

Excuse me, could you actually point out what edits of mine are "pointless"? -- Mattythewhite 13:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, one of them is infact thanking me for my edits... you're kinda wrong there. -- Mattythewhite 13:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologise for lack of civility there. Could you please point out what edits of mine are pointless? -- Mattythewhite 14:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats okay dude. -- Mattythewhite 14:32, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock request

Clearing an autoblock

Due to the nature of the block applied, we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details, there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:

  1. If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
    Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
    If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache.
  2. Try to edit the Sandbox.
    If you are able to edit the sandbox, you are not blocked from editing. Either the autoblock on your IP address has already expired, or you weren't blocked in the first place. Either way, you can resume editing.
  3. If you are still blocked, follow the directions below:
    1. Copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "Unblock request" section.
    2. Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page, and click save.
      If you cannot edit your own talk page, use the Unblock Ticket Request System to make your request.

Help me request.

I was recently involved in a incident, which left me blocked for a time, however, I am now unblocked, and I have removed the warning notices, should I replace them, or is it ok that they have been removed?

It's not a problem to remove old messages you no longer need, some people see it as more honest to archive them the way you would any other talk page messages, but there isn't a hard and fast rule. --pgk 17:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't call that a typo. We've seen that specific type of vandalism before. I tend to post a "final warning" template on user talk pages when I find racist vandalism. As far as material "promoting" (or detracting from) the sport, I see no problem removing it. Rklawton 16:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked it - but please try not to leave messages like that on their talk pages - it'll only serve to encourage them ;) Glen 11:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your attitude

Hi. I saw your edit to Talk:Top Gear (current format): "if you wish to edit these, do so at your will but leave me a message first." Given that this showed a glaring misunderstanding of how Wikipedia works I thought I'd have a look at your other contributions. A quick browse hasn't shown me any general problems regarding articles, however I have noticed a few troubling examples of incivility.

For example "Shut up you insensitive little brat, how is it funny that a fatherless child is mouring the loss?". Now I haven't read into what prompted you to say that, but it doesn't matter. If someone is vandalising articles, attacking you, or leaving distasteful talk page comments Wikipedia has processes for stopping them. However no matter how bad their behaviour there is no excuse for being abusive yourself.

Also this edit. Article talk pages are for discussing improvements to the article, not for promoting your own point of view about the subject or acting as a discussion forum. Thank you Mark83 22:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WTF? I didn't even do that! Somebody else probably. Frankyboy5 23:32, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

substing

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. ST47Talk 12:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
