How I Got Into College

Hi. I've deleted the plot summary, because it's copied from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097530/plotsummary. That makes it a copyright violation. If you want to rewrite it in your own words, please do. User:Zoe|^(talk) 18:37, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Liazzat Bonate

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Liazzat Bonate. 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. -Chunky Rice 18:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Bono. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Rodhullandemu 19:37, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Bono. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Thingg^⊕⊗ 19:38, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Barack Obama. Thingg^⊕⊗ 19:41, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

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.

Request reason:

I know that this was listed as something to NOT say when appealing a block, but any vandalism done on my account was in fact not me. I'm sure that this excuse is commonly given by people who are new members, but if you check my history, you will see that I have been a member for 3 years. In 3 years, I have never vandalized, and have made many great contributions to wikipedia. By unblocking me, you will see contributions of the same magnitude as before my account was used for vandalism. Thank you.

Decline reason:

If this is true, your account is compromised by vandals and will remain blocked. —  Sandstein  22:52, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

True, my account may have been compramised by vandals, but does this block really have to be indefinite? Please set a time-table on when the block can be removed, and I will take the time to ensure that my account is secure.

Decline reason:

Per WP:GOTHACKED, consensus is that we do not unblock compromised accounts. — Smashville^talk 06:33, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not specifically saying that I'm declining to unblock you, but I have to say that I pretty much agree with Sandstein's appraisal of the situation. However, could you tell us what you know about how your account was compromised? Do you know who did it? Was it a case of compromised password or a compromised access point? Trusilver 03:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

It was a comporimised acess point. I live in a dorm and people have used my computer. I leave my account signed in. It was my fault that vandals were able to use my account, and I take full resposibility for that. User:sammyd487

• I've dropped a note for the blocking admin to revisit this, but I think answering trusilver's question would go far to increasing our agf meters. –xeno (talk) 05:00, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

• As a college student myself, I can understand how this would happen - I am very careful about who has access to this computer and do not use the "remember me" function for just this reason, and it's also the reason I have the "non-admin" account I am currently logged in under. Unfortunately, we have no way of verifying that you are back in control of your own account, nor that the account has been protected against further attacks. You do appear to have constructive contributions under this username, though, and so I would like to find some way to get you editing again. One possible solution could be to leave this account blocked, but for us to create a new account for you which you can start up again with. You can "claim" the edits under this account by leaving a note on your userpage. For us to do this, however, we will need your assurance that you will take better steps to protect your account; this doesn't necessarily mean refusing anyone to use your computer, but taking care to log out or watch their actions when you do so. Would this work for you? Hersfold non-admin^(t/a/c) 18:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Jock Bartley - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
