Wikipedia:Whale
Smash!
You've been squished by a whale!
Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know you did something really silly.

Usage
The above is a WikiWhale (Megaptera wikipediensis). It is used for the purpose of making major adjustments to clue levels in Wikipedians when a trout just doesn't cut it. Besides, who doesn't want to be squished? For experienced editors who have done something rather minor, use a Trout.
How to use
Place {{whale}} on the talk page of the user you wish to communicate with. This will produce the above message.
