Vandalism

I was tagged with a vandalism warning concerning the article on teenage pregnancy by this user "Roasty Toast". I have read the wiki page on Vandalism on my edits didn't seem to fall into the mentioned categories. I did read that when a vandalism warning is given that a reason is also supposed to be given. Large amounts of my contribution to the article were deleted. As for as I know according to Wiki policy deleting edits unless they are falsifiable is considered vandalism. If information falls into a gray category editors are supposed to ask for citations. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.168.239.61 (talk) 03:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

This is what I reverted "Stopping adult men from preying on young girls." which is really a nonsense edit. And any edit that isn't constructive is considered vandalism. Feel free to discuss this matter with me. ROASTYTOAST 15:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I was also tagged with vandalsim for a change to the rabbit breeds section. I removed "Conner is very good looking too." from the American Fuzzy Lop section because it makes absolutely no sense in the context of that article. I have no idea what "Conner" is in the context of American Fuzzy lops (nor why such a useless subjective statement is in there). I thought I was helping to clean up the article, but this was reported as "vandalism" and the change was reverted.

hey i forgot how to put on the anti vandal tool and for some reason i don't have it so can u help? Rise Against713 02:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

ok how do i get it to show my the edits with the green and yellow box things? Rise Against713 02:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Arena Football League-stub

Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies.

It is far from clear that your new stub type woyuld have the 60 stubs usually required for a separate stub type, and it isdefinitely not named in accordaance with stub naming guidelines. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion or renaming at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 01:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Good point, it has been a while. At the very least it will need renaming to ArenaFootballLeague-stub, per the naming guidelines, which is handled through SFD, so I'll list it there. Grutness...wha? 23:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Uhh...

Banner

Please remove your practical joke banner. Such things are obnoxious and detract from the user experience. Also, spoofing the user interface is officially discouraged per WP:USER. For an example of a fun and far more palettable alternative, see the orange box at User talk:Bishonen. If you feel a need to keep the orange box, please consider using a distinctive message not easily confused with the new messages announcement. Dragons flight 08:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:TEST

Hi. I don't understand the purpose of this edit. You did a lot more than remove one score. I also don't understand why you removed the score, did you think it was fake? Also, you modified many of the scorers comments, other than just numbers. Why did you do this? You changed the comments themselves, to mean something totally different from what they meant, and you also changed the timestamp. Did you simply revert? Why did you do so? Please explain your edit.

Not all newbies are vandals

Hi Rostytoast. I just noticed your comments here in response to edits by what appears to be a new user experimenting. This user made a quick comment and then removed it a minute later. Treating this as vandalism is likely to alienate new users who are just trying to see how it all works. A better response would have been a welcome and perhaps {{Test1}}. I appreciate the effort you put into fighting vandals, but try not to bite the newbies in the process. -- Samuel Wantman 19:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. -- Samuel Wantman 19:29, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

i understand that i may have deleted some Lincoln County war information and a apologize. It was a mistake. Thank you.

yeah i deleted that line

Because it's a bogus record, one that doesn't exist. Some of the schmucks around here need to check the facts.

You revered an edit I was making and left a message on my talk page.

Some of the removed content was inappropriate for Wikipedia; it was either how-to information or OR. The other was being moved (as stated in the edit summary) to a more appropriate section. 171.71.37.207 20:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Arenabowl1989.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.
