| Index | Article | Editor | Edit(s) | Revert | Response | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 revert | Pocoyo | 01234567890a | [1] | [2] | Level 1 vandalism warning on talk page, then Level 2 a few minutes later. | Language looks like kids messing around, so a simple warning might be enough. Added to watchlist.  Well done for taking it upon yourself to add to you WL, smart move.--Chip123456 13:34, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

| 2 | 20th century | User:220.255.2.119 | [3] | [4] | uw-vandal3 at talk page | long history of random vandalism from this address. edit history of 20th century shows several IP addresses from this subnet doing the same thing. Requested temporary semi-protection at WP:RPP, and added to watchlist. I don't think the page has been protected (yet, anyway) but the revert is accurate.--Chip123456 13:34, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

| 3 | Sally Pearson | User:124.182.142.25 | [5] | [6] | Level 2 and 3 warnings on user's talk page following repeated vandalism | Blatant deletions of big chunks of text, with random nonsense text added. Added article to watchlist. Agreed.--Chip123456 13:34, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
|
| 4 | Bokaro Steel City | User:Mrinal.kumar.bokaro | [7] | [8] | Editor had already had warnings up to level 4 from ClueBot NG. I've reported editor at WP:AIV. | Possible that the editor was trying to trim down content that they was irrelevant, but after that many warnings the editor is either willfully vandalizing or needs some cooling-off time before attempting more edits. |
- Please find 3 diff of good faith edits you have reverted. Why were they good faith, not vandalism?
| Index | Article | Editor | Edit | Revert | Response |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Narang Mandi | User:Azhar.saeed.bhutta | [9] | [10] | Added a welcome to editor's page, as this was their first edit and probably doesn't know about WP:VERIFY and WP:NOTABILITY yet. There was also an existing section of similarly unreferenced entries with no WP article, so best to welcome with new editor info rather than warn in this case. Always good to leave the welcome note, with the welcome links. They are very helpful.--Chip123456 13:37, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
|
| 2 | Doctor Who (1996 film) | User:Ricadomark | [11] | [12] | Added welcome to new user's page, with friendly "nothanks" template explaining about copyvio. --Chip123456 13:37, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

| 3 | Article - | Editor - | Diff of edit - | Revert - | Respone - |
- Please find one failed report at AIV. Why did you think the user wasn't blocked? How will you use this in the future to help you report?
- A user has blanked a wiki page. What do you check before reverting?
- An IP address has just been unblocked after a block was given them for 24hrs because they vandalised. They, as soon as the block expires, have resumed vandalisng wikipedia, 3 times. Do you:
- A - Give them a general note for unconstructive editing
- B - Give them an only warning
- C - Report them immediately to WP:AIV
- Please find (if any) 1 report you have made at WP:RFPP, because there has been a lot of vandalism from several users/IP's on that page
- Has a vandalising user/IP ever caused you any stress? If so, how did you handle it? Please state the user/IP name
Task III edit
- Please go into recent changes to and revert vandalism for 10 - 15 minutes. Please show the diffs, show the warnings, and, if any, show reports
- Please then revert 3 good faith edits. Show the diffs, and show any interaction you had with that user
