Reporting IP vandals

I think the majority of this person's contributions aren't constructive, so is there a place I should report this person, like a noticeboard? Seems he's been making edits for a while but no one has done anything about it. Devourer09 (t·c) 16:54, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, a quick look at their contributions show that they haven't been active lately. That means that if they continue they should be reported to WP:AIV as a vandalism only account. But not yet. Mr. R00t ^Talk 03:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah, true. Alright, I'll keep that page in mind. Devourer09 (t·c) 18:54, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Stephen Colbert

Sure thing, I've only made around ~10 edits. I'll do some work on it right now. It's up to you :) Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 1:52pm • 02:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi r00t, I fixed the unsourced statements before you completed your review. I'll get on to fixing some of the MOSNUM issues. Regards, —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 4:32pm • 05:32, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Followup on your reply to my help request a few minutes ago

Hi, I wanted to report what I consider a malicious edit to a biography. The other editor posted information about political donations made by the biography subject. The information was quoted from a listing of political contributions by journalists. I reverted the edit within the last hour. I would like to complain to Wikipedia authorities about this editor. How do I go about it? Thank you. Hurmata (talk) 04:48, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Which editor was it? I can deal with it from there or you could go to WP:ANI and report him. Mr. R00t ^Talk 04:53, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

The article is Manohla Dargis and the editor is User:Drrll. Let me ask how things stand at this point: would you consider that such an edit—as I describe it—is bad naughty on its face, or would you have do give it some research and pondering first? Thanks. Hurmata (talk) 05:07, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Everyone with any interest for their head (used figuratively) does their research before taking actions on Wikipedia. I'll go look around and talk to them. Mr. R00t ^Talk 05:09, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010 backlog elimination drive update

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive progress graphs We have reached the midway point in our backlog elimination drive, so here is an update. Participation report — The November drive has 53 participants at this point. We had 77 participants in the September drive. In July, 95 people signed up for the drive, and in May we had 36. If you are not participating, it is not too late to join! Progress report — The drive is quite successful so far, as we have already almost reached our target of a 10% reduction in the number of articles in the backlog. We are doing very well at keeping our Requests page clear, as those articles count double for word count for this drive. Please keep in mind the possibility of removing other tags when you are finished with an article. If the article no longer needs {{cleanup}}, {{wikify}}, or other similar maintenance tags, please remove them, as this will make the tasks of other WikiProjects easier to complete. Thanks very much for participating in the Drive, and see you at the finish line! Your drive coordinators –The UtahraptorTalk to me/Contributions, S Masters (talk), and Diannaa (Talk)

Nudge nudge - still working this one?  7  02:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Oops, apologies. I had to leave for a while. I probably should have broken the reservation. I'll go take a look and create. Mr. R00t ^Talk 03:19, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

And this. You've been leaving a lot of open requests without breaking them when you leave. You need to stop reserving them if you can't review them in a timely manner. There is also a message waiting for you on the mailing list regarding User talk:Snooxy, and now I am wondering why you left them a welcome about promotional edits when they have, well, NO edits. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 04:25, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

All right, I won't leave them open for a while. Though as it happens I only left Snooxy open for about 2.5 hours. I've responded to the template issue on your talkpage. Mr. R00t ^Talk 01:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Why did you take away all my changes to the Valemount page? They were all valid! Could you please re-instate them or tell me why you think it's vandalism? I just wasted a lot of time updating. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RockyGoat (talk • contribs) 22:51, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, the only one I saw was the addition of the link which wasn't really appropriate. Mr. R00t ^Talk 23:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm trying to add an article that links Warfighting with the Marine Corps doctrinal publication by the same title. This book is arguably the foundational doctrine of the Marine Corps. I attempted to delink Warfighting from Soldier for the purpose stated above but noticed that you changed it back. I'm a first time wikipedia user and would love to contribute. I look forward to your response.Joeladrian (talk) 22:58, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, all I saw was your removal of the redirect. If you wish to write an article go ahead and write it there. Mr. R00t ^Talk 23:01, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

That may be why I posted that link to IRC. I was joking obviously. The joke cannot be posted here as it would entail breaking freenode policy and would make me get in trouble. Mr. R00t ^Talk 02:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey! Sorry about all the edits to Sonia Sunger's page, I kept getting copyright notices so I re-wrote the text so it's not duplicated. Although I wrote the original text as well.

Sonia's my wife, and I've taken her photos as well with my Canon 7D camera... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curiousforcanada (talk • contribs) 00:47, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

If you'd like to verify (this isn't an option, you really should) that you are Sonia Sunger's wife you should email OTRS (at permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). They'll be able to deal with this better. Mr. R00t ^Talk 00:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Help with A7 Please!

1234r00t,

I appreciate your willingness to help. I created a page Textbookstop and it was speedily deleted due to A7. I would sincerely appreciate some help!

Thanks!

Dblaser (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello Dblaser. I would suggest that you ask Versageek, the admin who deleted it, to move the article to your user space (somewhere like User:Dblaser/Textbookstop where you can add sources and improve it. Mr R00t ^{Talk 'tribs} 22:40, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive Conclusion

Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have reached the end of our fourth backlog elimination drive. Thanks to all who participated. Stats GOCE November 2010 backlog elimination drive graphs 58 people signed up for this drive. Of these, 48 people participated in the drive. Although we did not eliminate the months we planned to (January, February, and March 2009; and August, September, and October 2010), we did reduce the backlog by 627 articles (11.2%), which was over our goal of 10%. 49 awards will go out to 33 of 48 participants. Check out the complete list of barnstar winners here. Barnstars If you copy edited at least 4,000 words, you qualify for a barnstar. If you participated in the September 2010 backlog elimination drive, you may have earned roll-over words (more details can be found here). These roll-over words count as credit towards earning barnstars, except for leaderboard awards. We will be delivering these barnstars within the next couple of weeks. Our next drive is scheduled for January 2011. In the meantime, please consider helping out at the Wikification drive or any of the other places where help with backlogs is needed. Thank you for participating in the last 2010 backlog elimination drive! We look forward to seeing you in January!
