August 2010[edit]

This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia, as you did to Lockheed C-130 Hercules, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Dave ^{♠♣♥♦№1185♪♫™} 17:59, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dave, sorry for that. I noticed a bad link, and I traced it down to some good additions from six weeks ago. If I corrected it in a six-week-old version, reverting since then, I appologize, and will be more vigilant. Lesson learned: after finding where it went bad, make sure you are at the most-recent copy before editing. EchoPapa 18:24, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dave1185, please don't bite the newbies. Never give a formal "only warning" as your first warning to a new editor unless you are absolutely clear that their intent was to compromise the integrity of the article or its content. Generally a level one warning will suffice or a personal hand typed message directly from yourself. Blocking can only be done by an administrator with tools. Rarely will they block without a discussion unless there are extenuating circumstances.--Mark Miller (talk) 21:29, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

By the way...your edit to the TMT page was accurate and I was mistaken. My apologies for reverting you. The edit was returned by another experienced editor and I have figured out my misunderstanding. Thanks and Happy editing.--Mark Miller (talk) 22:04, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
