October 2008

Welcome, and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Spiv worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Spiv. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:47, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
