Reporting vandalism

The place to report vandalism is WP:AIV; but the user must have been warned properly before the admins will consider blocking. This IP has only a level 1 warning at the moment, but if they continue to vandalise they will get further warnings and eventually will be blocked. Links from WP:AIV will tell you more about the process. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, they've got a level 4 now, so any further vandalism will likely result in a year-long block (as noted at the top of the talk page). I've moved your report from 208.67.143.36 to WP:AIV, so it should be handled very soon. nneonneo ^talk 17:08, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

...and they're blocked for three months. JohnCD (talk) 17:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Eh, good enough. If they vandalise right after the block expires, that can be reported to WP:AIV. nneonneo ^talk 17:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks guys for your help. I'm still new to the vandalism warning thing. Wackjum (talk) 17:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Abuse reports/208.67.143.36

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:Abuse reports/208.67.143.36, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Wikipedia:Abuse reports/208.67.143.36 is a test page.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Wikipedia:Abuse reports/208.67.143.36, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
