Warning and welcome[edit]
You should know that Wikipedia has policies against comments such as that used in the edit summary of your 13:37, 30 Dec 2004 edit to Rapping: "rerverted to how to was - fuck that bastard that changed my edit." This is a personal attack because it is in regards to the editor and not the content of the article.
To summarize:
- "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia....Users have been blocked or banned for repeatedly engaging in them. Abusive edit summaries are particularly ill-regarded."
You may have noticed that your edit was changed by User:P Ingerson (who may be reached at User talk:P Ingerson) because he or she considered it vandalism. I disagree and assume the first edits to be a newbie test. However, I consider your re-addition to be vandalism (Silly vandalism), since you were warned, and have reverted that edit. See Wikipedia:Vandalism and Wikipedia:Three revert rule. Vandalism is another thing you may be banned or blocked from wikipedia from.
That said:

Vandalising[edit]
You posted "Please stop vandalisng pages. This is your last warning", what on Earth are you talking about? I do not vandalize pages. Cburnett 05:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Which pages have I vandalised? I've been reverting a lot of vandalism, but haven't done any myself. I'm going to appeal aginst this block and get it lifted. P Ingerson 09:02, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Warning[edit]
Do not post abusive comments. Do not threaten to block users. You have no such authority. I do. I will block you if you continue in this fashion.-gadfium 18:37, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
