about vandalism edit

Hi Skeetypeety,

Thank you for cleaning up lots of vandalism on Wikipedia. For example, vandalism in the Harold and Maude, International School of Brussels, and Katyn massacre articles.

In a couple of recent edits, you reverted a change that 166.187.209.212 made to an article and then warned 166.187.209.212 about vandalism.

I have an issue with the template you used to warn 166.187.209.212. In Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, five levels of warnings are provided:

  • Level 1 – Assumes good faith. Generally includes "Welcome to Wikipedia" or some variant.
  • Level 2 – No faith assumption; just a warning
  • Level 3 – Assumes bad faith; cease and desist
  • Level 4 – Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning
  • Level 4im – Assumes bad faith; very strong cease and desist, first and only warning

In your warning, you used a level 3 template, {{subst:uw-vandalism3}}.

It would have been better to use a level 1 template, {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, because of three reasons:

  • This was 166.187.209.212's first time.
  • 166.187.209.212's edit was not particularly offensive.
  • 166.187.209.212's edit could be seen as a good faith edit.

It was not the users first edit, and I assumed bad faith as level 3 suggests. Sure it was not offensive, but it in my opinion was not a good faith edit. I stand by my warning.
