A belated welcome!

Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, K6ka. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Graham87 09:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC) Graham87 09:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dealing with vandalism

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello, thanks for trying to deal with vandalism on Wikipedia. I noticed your work when you had reverted one edit by an IP user to Gravitron, but you had missed the other one. While looking through your contributions, I noticed that you sometimes completely reverted consecutive vandalism edits, like at Simon Newcomb, so I imagine the "Gravitron" problem was an oversight. However, it's more useful to note the user who made the edit you reverted to rather than its revision ID – in the Simon Newcomb example, it would've been better to write "rv to last version by Chris55" in the edit summary.

It's also very useful if you can warn vandals – especially if their edits are recent – and check their contributions. Tools like Twinkle can make it easier to deal with vandalism. Graham87 09:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ah, mighty thanks for the suggestion! I remember hearing about Twinkle a while ago but forgot the name.

Anyways, my apologies for missing those edits. It's just that I'm not new to wiki-editing tools in general (I edit a lot on Wikia), but I'm not used to how fast-paced Wikipedia is. I'll look into Twinkle, and thanks for your suggestions.
