July 2007 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Timothy Thomas Fortune. Please be more careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

October 2007 edit

This idiot keeps removing the origin of musicians/models and actors. Those who are of Jamaican, West Indian, Creole and any other descent, he seems to simply label everyone "African American" because they may reside in the States. The United States is NOT France, every person is not JUST an American, and some do have origins outside of the United States, please stop removing the tags that people set otherwise you will be reported...... iyah....

Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.84.60 (talk) 23:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your "race" issue edit

November 2007 edit

 Refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Vanessa L. Williams. Your edit to Vanessa L. Williams constitutes vandalism and has been reverted. As is touched on above by someone else, you seem to have a problem with the mentioning of exact "race", particularly when it involves people of African American descent...where it may mention that that person's "race" or parents' "race" is of another "race" other than African American. Whatever problem you have on this matter...you need to stop injecting it into articles on Wikipedia. I'm going to look over your edits and any that I can readily revert on this issue of yours, I will. If you continue this disruptive editing, it will lead to your being blocked from editing Wikipedia, either a temporary or permanent block. So this is your warning...stop it now.

January 2008 edit

 If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Esther Baxter (your constant target), Sanaa Lathan, and other articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I see that you keep changing the "race" listing of anyone of African American descent who is also listed as being of other ethnic descent. Your feeling that any other part of their ethnic background should not be included just because they have one drop of African American descent in them will not be tolerated. And, really, science shows that everyone has at least one drop of African American descent in them. You cannot erase a person's heritage, just because you erase that person's full racial listing. This is your second warning to stop this "race" crusade of yours. Your edits have or will be reverted every time you try. If you continue on this route, make no mistake about it, you will be blocked, either temporarily (at first, anyway) or permanently. Flyer22 (talk) 09:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

. Take it to talk pages with well sourced arguments, and accept the consensus. Don't just vandalise, or you'll be blocked for longer. dave souza, talk 07:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for repeated abuse of editing privileges. Please stop.

. Your addition of a sourced statement to K. D. Aubert was useful and I've reinstated it, but your subsequent edits repeat your previous pattern of unexplained deletions. Try putting explanations and sources on talk pages. .. dave souza, talk 20:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your edits edit

Can you please explain some of your edits regarding persons of mixed race? Those edits, along with your continued refusal to discuss them, are becoming a cause for concern. While you may have perfectly good reasons for your edits, it might be a good idea to let us know what those reasons are. If you don't, they are going to be reverted, which just causes needless aggravation all around. I see these sort of edits have been an issue in the past; I'm hoping they won't be an issue in the future. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:51, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Category:Afro-Caucasian people edit

Hello. I note you repeatedly removing Category:Afro-Caucasian people from articles. If you think it is an inappropriate category, please nominate it for deletion. If you do not challenge the category but think it was used inaccurately or inappropriately in the cases of articles you removed it from, please give an explanation as to why. Thanks, -- Infrogmation (talk) 03:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

The reason why is all over this "editor's" talk page and in his or her edit history. This user has a serious "race" issue against biracial people who are half African American. He or she feels that if you're half Caucasian and of African American descent, your Caucasian side should not be acknowledged at all. It's one thing to feel that way, but it should not be injected into Wikipedia articles. This user needs to finally be permanently blocked. Flyer22 (talk) 01:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
