tagging

The recent tagging of an article was inaapropriate when you google cbit a uni comes on the first page Please review your tagging If you continue disruptive tagging you maybe blocked from editing--Theytotal 908 (talk) 07:02, 3 March 2010 (UTC) Please notify any user whose page you have tagged for deletion--Theytotal 908 (talk) 07:03, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

• I don't agree with you, and I'd ask you to Assume Good Faith rather than saying that my tagging is disruptive and i may be blocked if I continue. Tagging a 5 word article as a test page is not inappropriate, in my opinion... but let's discuss that on the article's talk page. --SmokingNewton (talk) 07:11, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
