Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Template:Latest preview software release/Microsoft Visual Studio, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you.

Hey, there is no need to report an IP if it made one bad edit half a day ago (like 72.162.93.4, 165.234.100.36, etc.). Save your time, and mine. Materialscientist (talk) 04:07, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

@Materialscientist: Yeah, those (and some others) were borderline reportable in my mind, but I just wasn't sure what your judgment would be with some of them... In case if you were wondering, I find most of the IP addresses/accounts from patrolling this (although ClueBot makes lots of fp's), which I try to sort through as best as I can)... 208.54.5.159 (talk) 04:13, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

I mean, you did block both of those IP's, so I'm not sure why you are mentioning those ones... if you felt like they didn't have sufficient activity to warrant a block you could have just removed those ones, too. 208.54.5.159 (talk) 04:19, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

There are no solid rules on when to block, but better not to push admins when not needed. Materialscientist (talk) 04:42, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Yes, following Cluebot edits is not very productive. To find vandals, I'd better use filter logs [1]. If you can't see that page, maybe you can see individual filters like [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] etc.

You seem to nod, yet keep going. There was no use reporting 205.154.248.7 (talk · contribs). Materialscientist (talk) 04:50, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I had that IP open in another tab way before we were discussing this... 208.54.5.159 (talk) 04:52, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Also, thanks for providing the filter links above. The only one that isn't visible is this one (ID: 380). 208.54.5.159 (talk) 04:55, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from User talk:130.126.255.46 without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.
