Hi Jon Donnis. Welcome to RationalWiki. You're very welcome to help edit our articles, but please don't copy your user page to the main article space or write articles about yourself. You may find the above links useful for editorial guidance. ωεαşεζøίɗ^{Methinks it is a Weasel} 13:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Just copy/pasting your Wikipedia user page here without checking compatibility of templates looks like spamming rather than wanting to be part of our community. Генгис^{RationalWiki GOLD member} 16:17, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Wow, you guys are really stuck up, let me guess I upset one of you elsewhere.

Ok delete my account on here please. No interest in being part of this community now ^{— Unsigned, by: JonDonnis / talk / contribs}

Sorry, you have taken umbrage, because you are probably someone we would like to have around, but we get a few drive-by spammers. I removed the red-links from your user page because they are to articles which are never going to be created here and we don't need them in our wanted article list.

I take umbrage at being called a spammer. I copied the page from Wikipedia, simply cause it was easier to do, I assumed "wrongly" that since this wiki uses the same basic template that the copy and paste would work fine!

If I was a drive by spammer as you put it, don't you think I would have just edited random pages instead of adding a page about me?

It is this very attitude that is making the skeptical community a laughing stock to woo folk. Everyone is so desperate to be "the big man" that you all end up offending the very people who are best placed to help you and make your site better.

If someone from here wishes to talk to me and perhaps apologise you can find me at my forum which I am sure you can find, or on Twitter.

This will be my last message on here and I will not check here again so do not bother to reply, all I request is that you remove my account from here and any mention of my name.^{— Unsigned, by: JonDonnis / talk / contribs}

The wrongess of your assumption about RW's commonality with Wikipedia should have been evident the moment you saved the page - those big red links are rather obvious.

And nobody said that you are a spammer. Genghis' first comment likens a certain behavior to spamming, and his second one points out that we have a minor spam problem (and an even lesser problem with non-literal spammers, i.e. self-promoters). Some wiki spambots do put the spam in their user pages, and some of the recent ones even camouflage it (badly) as a user profile page. Some of those even make the same assumption about the existence of Wikipedia-like templates, which is one of the giveaways.

I can't see how pointing out that your user page is broken or that self-promotion is contrary to the local ethos is being "desperate to be 'the big man'". In your view, is such behavior allowed only to "big men"?

And MediaWiki accounts can't be removed. You contributions will remain in the page histories forever until the end of RW. As for mentioning your name, nothing guarantees that it won't pop up in one context or another, and you are in no position to force compliance with such a request anyway. It didn't work for Mensur Omerbashich, I doubt it will work for you.--ZooGuard (talk) 19:44, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Another "big man" wannabe it sees.

Feel free to contact me through Twitter or my website for a response, although no promises I will respond as I may mistake your comments as spam. ^{— Unsigned, by: JonDonnis / talk / contribs}

Blanking your talk page is another big no-no here. And the failure to stick to your flounce was noted.--ZooGuard (talk) 20:20, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, can't really say that that was a success from anybody's point of view.--Bob^{"I think you'll find it's more complicated than that."} 21:31, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Where we find that Jon Donnis yet again eats wannabes for Breakfast! Lol look I can make silly headlines too! And guess what at least 4 people will see this! Damn now that is self importance!

So I cant delete my profile, and now I cant delete the talk page? Since my user page is now basically blank, what possible use is this page of talk? It only makes you guys look bad.

I thought by deleting it all, I give you guys a clean slate, but instead you put it back up! Wow, way to run a site guys well done!

I must admit this is starting to become fun, the more I post the more you guys expose yourself as power hungry wannabes! I do tend to attract such people unfortunately. Either way it all helps prove my point as well as feed my ego, so please do keep talking about me. Afterall the more you do, the more you harm your reputation. Makes no difference to me either way. ^{— Unsigned, by: JonDonnis / talk / contribs}

Seems Mr Donnis has a habit of getting on the wrong side of folk. Shame really 'cause he's probably a decent guy. Scream!! (talk) 21:47, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Hayley, I am a decent guy, hell I helped make you a skeptic! lol

Unfortunately I do have a habit of rubbing people up the wrong way, as do you it seems! I have heard a few people call you the "Female Donnis" haha, I bet you love that dont you!

Anyway as always I am here if you need me Hayley, but I think by now you are big and bad enough to handle the naughty people on your own ^{— Unsigned, by: JonDonnis / talk / contribs}

I know you're a man of your word and therefore will not see this message, but...

On talk pages, please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the sign button: on the toolbar above the edit panel. You can also indent successive talk page comments using one more colon (:) for each line. Thank you.

Greetings from a fellow persona non grata

Welcome and goodbye. You have a pretty strong idea of how this place is run these days. 72.205.215.192 (talk) 21:53, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

You keep this up

And we will make a mainspace article about you, but it won't about about how you're a prominent psychic. It'll be about how you're a self-promoting cretin who tries to write pompous articles about himself on wikis.--"Shut up, Brx." 22:44, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
