Wikipedia thanks you for your hard work. Viriditas (talk) 07:44, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

		The Original Barnstar
		I don't think I've ever given a barnstar to an anonymous editor before, but I'd just like to say thanks for all the effort you've put in to cleaning up after Anybot. –Juliancolton | Talk 21:52, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

[1] "See also: in case not blindingly obvious.."

People get blocked on Wikipedia for, among many (many) other things:

• Breaking rules which change day by day and even minute by minute, scattered across thousands of webpages and millions of paragraphs.
• Angering (or breaking up with) Jimbo Wales.
• Failing to offer obeisance and fealty to the Wikipedia bourgeoisie.
• Triggering the OCD of one of the legion emotionally-dysfunctional Wikipedia factotums.
• Violating the religious taboos of the reigning Wikipedia junta by uttering blasphemies such as "lulz."
• Defying the ex cathedra pronouncements of Wikipedia's ruling caste.

"In particular, be civil and polite, keep calm, seek help (from projects, noticeboards, RFCs, Third opinions etc), think carefully before editing, consider delaying responses to de-escalate the situation (or even not responding at all), do careful research of the topic using WP:reliable sources and state clear opinions based on this and with reference to policy and guidelines. Remember that there are real people at the other end of the screen, with real concerns, opinions, motivations, pressures and feelings. Whether or not I agree with them, whether or not firmness is required, I can still be respectful in my interactions."

Protesting against other people's concerns ad nauseam is, by your standard, disruptive as well. That word disruptive does not mean people i disagree with who won't shut up.Bali ultimate (talk) 20:04, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Haha, whoops. Glad you caught that one as I was half listening to my mom while writing that. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:49, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
