Vandalism

• This edit by you was not the reversion of vandalism. It was the (re-)introduction of it. Semi-automated editing tools require careful use. Please use them more carefully than you are. Uncle G 18:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Walt Disney World Monorail System

Regarding the content dispute over Walt Disney World Monorail System, please remember to assume good faith with other editors. Reverting another editor's revert and calling it "vandalism" [1] is generally considered to be bad form. While many of us are frustrated over this article's content dispute, declaring the edits of other established editors to be vandalism only escalates emotions. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 13:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

No worries. Everyone starts out as a new person in the beginning. If you ever have any questions or issues, please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope you enjoy your time here on Wikipedia! --Kralizec! (talk) 16:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Hey its very ok. No harm done. You incorrectly warned me, and I gave you a warning to harsh. On wikipedia, you need to let things go, or you will get very upset and angry. If you have any questions about anything, please ask me, I'd be more than happy to help. --trey 17:44, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Fallston High School and 12.173.107.73

Thanks for bringing back my revert of Fallston High School. I gave User:12.173.107.73 a final warning after that vandalism, and I'm watching to see if he vandalizes again. He seems to have a problem with Notable Alumni on High School pages. Jru Gordon 21:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

No worries, you haven't screwed anything up yet.--Jru Gordon 21:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Main page

Hi there; I have absolutely no complaint, and am full of admiration. Quite seriously. I was right there; how did you find the main page vandalism before me? Do you know something I don't? --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 18:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

OK. As I said, I was absolutely admiring, not ctiticising. Get another 2,000 edits and apply for RfA. I will support you.--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 18:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

It is sometimes difficult, in this medium where one cannot express intonation, to avoid giving the impression of criticism. I meant none, nor did I mean to imply it. I was simply congratulating you for being faster to the punch than I was. And, as I said, looking forward to supporting your RfA as soon as you have enough edits on your record to satisfy the community.--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 21:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Your report to WP:AIV

Thank you for making a report about 24.176.228.255 (talk · contribs · block log) at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators generally only block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Goodnightmush^Talk 04:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Thanks for all your helping fighting vandalism and keep up the good work! Goodnightmush^Talk 04:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

well i have an account but i forgot to sing in.... look at the edits done previously, they were NOT removed, but put in a different place. Check 'DVD tours' section on the page (now with images). Salmoria 22 June 2007 (UTC).thanks.

Broadband_Internet_access_in_Asia

Regarding the Broadband_Internet_access_in_Asia revert, that big block of text is the same as is located in the Internet in Japan article. If you think the text ought to be there twice, that's fine, you probably know WP guidelines better than me. Otherwise, re-revert. :) --62.203.32.6 09:04, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle

Hi! How did you get your Twinkle edit summary to be the way you got it? If you take a look here you can see that I didn't get the same summary as you... — H92 (t · c · no) 22:57, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I always clear my cache, and I always purge the monobook.js-page too. ;aybe I'm a bit stupid, but how do I make it say "Reverted edits by XX identified as YY to last revision by ZZ", and not "Reverted edits to version XXXXXXXX by YY"? — H92 (t · c · no) 23:07, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I got it, but the only thing I see is "[restore this version]" in brown. If you mean the buttons like "edit this page" and that when you say "at the top", the only thing I see is: warn, arv, csd, last, since, since mine, rpp, xfd. Is it possible for you to make a screenshot? Then I think/hope it would be easier... — H92 (t · c · no) 17:09, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Yea

that editing i did, i just deleted a page of Gibberish. so next look at what i deleted before you warn me. -and to make it better you just put the page back up with the Gibberish. seriously look at stuff before you act.

ReIntroduction of vandalism

I got a complaint from 68.82.9.116 that you gave him a warning message about blaning portions of pages when he actually he removed the vandalism and you brought it back as seen here [2]. I have taken care of it, but you may want to apologize to them OysterGuitarst 17:40, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem we all make mistakes. By the way how can I get acces to the irc channel page I am considering using it. OysterGuitarst 21:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. OysterGuitarst 22:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for finding that out for me, but i'm not sure if it will work on my computer cause it's from 1995 so i barley have memory left. But i'll be sure to do when I get a new computer. Keep up the good work :) OysterGuitarst 18:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert on my talk page. Much appreciated! Keep up the great work :-) Regards. Will (aka Wimt) 23:30, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Please take a look at Controversies over the film Sicko and comment on merge proposal

Hi,

The title says it all. I am requesting your opinion only because you've edited the Sicko (film) article and therefore appear to have an interest in the movie. I created the "Controversies" article and think it should stay, but I'd welcome your opinion whatever it is. If you consider this message annoying, I apologize. I'm leaving this message with you and some others without violating WP:CANVASS. I won't be leaving another message asking you to comment again. Noroton 23:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

it was my intention

i have put that in the article but stupid bitches keep deleting it. Eric Sturm is on Kid Nation and he does win a Gold Star.--Sacksofffifth 18:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Um....don't ever say peace to me again or you will be blocked. Are you even an admin?--Sacksofffifth 18:21, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Final warning to 68.200.93.119

Hi, thank you for helping fight vandalism by reverting 68.200.93.119 to the US Declaration of Independence however, this was that IPs first edit a final warning might be violating WP:DBN. It might have been better to give a caution or a warning instead of final warning. Thank you again for helping fight vandalism ChrisLamb 22:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

68.111.71.125 warning

You recently warned User talk:68.111.71.125 at the same exact time as me. I took down mine, but I was wondering why you warned him when I reverted his edits? Deflagro 22:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

That's fine, it's just that has happened to me before with someone else and I was wondering why. Good luck vandal-fighting! Deflagro 22:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:IRC

No, that sounds interesting though. Might have to check it out in a bit. Thanks! Deflagro 22:26, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Question

Hi Spartan! I never really done this before, but how about modifying the script below. It's from a notice that a bot wrote to the creator of the page.

Notability of Asian Dawn

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Asian Dawn, by Kww (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Asian Dawn seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Asian Dawn, 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. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Asian Dawn itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Oops

I hit the wrong button. I didn't mean to blank the page. I actually reverted it myself before you got there. Thanks. 65.82.104.120 18:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Question

I recieved the following message from you " Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Black supremacy, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Spartan-James 02:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC) The edit you are refering to in Black Supremacy was a vandalism correction. I corrected a statement that Yahweh ben Yahweh made his male followers watch films involving animals, not Tony Danza as stated on the vandelized page and the only other edit I've made was to the Fay School entry involving a nazi plot against the students in the early 21st century. So....what were the reverts and why? I am in no way questioning the reasoning. I'm just looking for something constructive.--CourtneySea 01:51, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Reports to WP:AIV

Thanks for helping with vandalism, but I think you are clicking a few too many checkboxes on TW. For example, with your report here, you have vandalism directly after release of block, actions evidently indicate a vandalism only account, account is evidently a spambot or a compromized account. None of these items are correct. The IP was not previously blocked, nor can an IP really be an "vandalism only account" nor compromised, and there is not evidence of it being a spambot since it's not spamming. I did block the IP, but it would be helpful to admins if you only check the appropriate boxes. -- Gogo Dodo 03:15, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: No worries. Keep up the good work. =) -- Gogo Dodo 20:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Please help me protect the article of "Buddhism by country"

Last some days,the user named Bikeable has been editing the article of Buddhism by country because he hate Buddhism (I knew him in a religious forum,he is a Vietnamese Christian extremist,he is oversea Vietnamese in USA)!Can you help me to protect it?Add it on your watchlist.That article is the result of mine (58.186.233.71),Chow Zhang Qui and yours with many people!

When I create new topic with the link of List of religious population.He was very angry when he knows his religion (Christianity) is under around 1.6-1.85 billion,not 2.1 billion as he thinked!!!And he was edited the religious percentage in Vietnam (10% Buddhists,15% Christians,v.v...)!

I'm copying the reply here that I left at User_talk:Vexorg: Please do keep an eye on it. I don't know where the venom above came from, but you'll see that I changed the estimate of Buddhists in China from a whopping 80%, unsupported by any sources, to 8%, the number cited on the Talk page, from the US State Department's Religious Freedom report. I gave detailed reasons on the Talk page. The whole page is extremely questionable, but using the figure of 80% gives an estimate of Buddhists literally a billion higher than any others. I plan to propose on the Talk page a reformatting, since the numbers are (as you recognize) for the most part unsourced. As for the stuff about my being an angry Vietnamese Christian extremist -- that's probably the weirdest thing that's ever been said about me, and I've no idea where it came from. Thanks for your attention. best, bikeable (talk) 03:43, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the blanking -- how weird. I think the page didn't load completely; my net connection was flaky yesterday and I recall that your talk page looked incomplete. My apologies. bikeable (talk) 16:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting my user page. Since I got the admin flag a month ago, I've been hit with more userpage vandalism than usual. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:14, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I was trying to leave message and ended up accidentally blanking the page. I'm new at this, guess it was a beginner's mistake. 69.69.147.101 02:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Uh, really? Was this the message that you were trying to leave, as an almost identical IP address to yours did five times on my talk page yesterday? Do it again and you'll be blocked again. Find something productive to do, why don't you.Tvoz |talk 03:01, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

From one vandal fighter to another, I award this Purple Barnstar to Spartan-James for being smacked around and having his user page edited by so many vandals that it has undoubtedly worn a hole in the harddrive sector containing his page.

Continuing vandalism by User:208.104.45.20 on American dialect pages

He is continuing to blank out a page on North Central American English and / or perform unproductive 3RRs on this page. He refuses to sign with 4 tildes. He is not explaining his destructive edits on Talk pages. He is using emoticons and entering article commentary on the article pages. (I noticed that you had also reprimanded him in late June about this kind of conduct.) And the administrators are'nt blocking him. What can be done about him?? Dogru144 00:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not too sure...just keep reverting and giving him warnings and suggest him/her/it for blocking by the admins. Peace. Spartan-James 01:02, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
