[edit] Re: Veinor's removal of my external link

The link to http://www.woodbrookeestates.com is valid. Even though the website is under construction, it still contains relevant information, and I have re-inserted it into the article. Please don't remove this link again. Thank you! 172.131.123.36 16:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

None of the provided information is about the subject of the article, Rossville, Staten Island; it seems to be just advertising for Woodbroke Estates. There are external link guidelines, and the link isn't following them. Also, please refrain from repeatedly undoing other people's edits; that can get you blocked. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:09, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

You don't know what you are talking about, dude. That website references a HISTORICAL item from 1981. It is NOT an advertisement for Woodbrooke Estates. Get your facts straight before needlessly editing something that you know NOTHING about! 172.131.123.36 16:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I quote:

Stunning architectural designs immediately set these extraordinary town homes apart, and create an unmistakable feeling of warmth, good taste and individuality.

And you would do well to remain civil, lest you be blocked for uncivility. And you still haven't addressed the fact that the subject of the website is not Rossville. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Woodbrooke Estates is in Rossville, and it is previously mentioned in the article. As I said before, the text in the website is a reference to the ORIGINAL advertisement for the development, hence, it has historical value. Edit it if you want to, but I will just undo you edits at a later time. Block me, and I will sign in later using another IP address. Don't be such an asshole and leave my valid edits alone, would ya? 172.131.123.36 16:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Also, if you do so, we can rangeblock it, give the link to the blacklist, semi-protect the article... there are many different ways to stop people from spamming. And, now that you've let us know, we'll be sure to keep a very close eye on this article. And, just because it's mentioned, doesn't mean we need a link. If we linked to every group or organization that was in Rossville, we'd have more links than actual article. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, whatever... There is nothing worse than a nerd on a power trip! It's because of people like you that I'm getting sick and tired of Wikipedia!172.131.123.36 16:32, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, fine. Nobody's forcing you to edit. And if you keep up this way, you'll be forced to not edit. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Veinor. As you can see, I'm back! Now knock it off with the threats, because if you continue to harass me, I'll report your conduct to the higher-ups at Wikipedia, and you will be the one who'll "be forced to not edit". 172.163.158.75 16:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

How? As is evidenced by your personal attacks and incivility, you obviously don't know enough policy to get anyone blocked. And you're the one who called me an "asshole" and "a nerd on a power trip". Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 16:45, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh brother, here we go again! Don't waste your time by blocking me, as it is nothing but a minor inconvenience to me. To be honest, I really don't think that you have the temperament to be a editor here on Wikipedia. You should be showing a little more maturity and stop getting so upset at me, a person that you don't even know. It seems that you have a penchant for threatening people. That's a big mistake, as I said before, behavior like your will get you removed as an editor. Have a nice day! 172.163.158.75 17:18, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

You think that I'm immature? Who called who an "asshole"? Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 17:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
