If you carry on spamming Maureen McCormick, I'll block you from editing. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for spamming.

unblock|Why is a legitimate interview with Maureen spamming? I don't get it? It was an inteview she did on ETONLINE.

See the contrib history. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

There is no spamming - the editor posted a link to a TV interview that Ms. McCormick did with "Entertainment Tonight," which is a major U.S. television news program relating to the entertainment industry.

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

For the record, Jayeba's link is a legitimate one. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this edit "legitimate" too? Gwen Gale (talk) 01:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That is not "spamming," which is what the block was all about. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're mistaken. If the editor carries on with this behaviour, another block by another admin will very likely follow. Gwen Gale (talk) 01:58, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A proper welcome[edit]

Jayeba, I can assure you that this is not the way we normally welcome new editors to Wikipedia. Thus, please allow me to do it correctly:

Welcome! (We can't say that loudly enough!)
