Dealing when consecutive vandalism edits

Hello, thanks for trying to fix the vandalism at Code Orange (novel). However, the editor made another edit to the page that you didn't undo. Don't worry; I've cleaned it up. However, when you find vandalism or other inappropriate content in an article, it's better to revert it rather than undoing it. Graham87 00:50, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Also, remember to warn users if they have recently vandalised. A tool to automate this, after a fashion, is Twinkle. Graham87 00:52, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I notice that you've taken my advice re. Twinkle. Please don't revert edits unless you're absolutely sure they're vandalism ... I undid your reversions of a few edits. It's also a good idea to check the contributions of vandals when you revert thm. See Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol for more information about patrolling recent changes. Graham87 01:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

No worries, and good luck! :-) Just one more thing: when you're manually sending a template to a user, remember to subst it by typing subst: before the template name. Graham87 01:01, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Your informative and constructive edits about crabs

Dear Ieuan: in reverting your edits on the crab page, perhaps it was a little harsh to characterize your edits as vandalism simply because they were un-constructive (in the sense of being un-informative). I never meant to imply they were un-true or even un-amusing. In fact, we were all quite amused over here in the Wikipedia Vandalism Reversion Block. You don't know how many bot-flagged instances of potential vandalism turn out to be good-faith edits. Even worse, most cases of true vandalism are really boring -- furtive, hasty, ill thought-out spasms of adolescent pique like inserting one's friends names or naughty words into random pages about Polynesian flora. So thank you for making Christmas Eve a little special for those of us confined to the VRWB in Tehachapi State Prison. When we are given occasion to laugh, the corrections-grade zipties that bind our wrists together seem to grow three sizes. Sjb0926 (talk) 05:14, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Liver (color), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Fixed it, thanks for telling me. This is why we have bots like you around, I never would have known otherwise. --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  21:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

RFPP

It's the right place to request protection of any page, whether image, article, project page, etc. The "don't request protection for the redirect" confusion is that while you can have redirects protected, people who want the article protected sometimes accidentally ask for protection of a redirect to the article which is being vandalised or edit warred on. The directions are for those wanting to protect an article, not those who really do want to protect a redirect. Hope that clears it all up. Regarding filters: I don't know a darn thing about the filters, but I can point you to Scottywong, who can probably answer any questions you might have. KillerChihuahua 14:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion

I think it would be nice to have phonetic material explaining how to pronounce your user name. After Wales becomes free from England, we can start on getting Texas free from the US... (smile) --Guy Macon (talk) 02:36, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Signature suggestion

Hi there. I recommend that you replace all of the spaces in between the words in your signature with Non-breaking spaces so that your signature will always appear all one one line. Since you have a box around it, it'll make the signature look better. Sven Manguard Wha? 01:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I did. You are correct, it should help with signing at the end of lines that come right to the edge of the page (so the box doesn't split off the end). Keep in mind, though, that I can't do anything about the date/time info falling off the line. I am presuming (though I may be wrong), that it what you are talking about. That is added automatically, and I don't think I can   between that as it is impossible to see such things in a signature template. I tried to add the date and time from the {{currentdate}}, {{currentmonth}}, {{currentyear}}, and {{currenttime}} templates before on another wiki (Uncyclopedia), and it didn't work. The date just ended up repeated twice, and still fell off the line. If there is a way to force the date not to automatically appear and to use these instead, that would be awesome. Kind of like __NOTOC__ but for sigs. I would ask but since you seem to be worried about my sig and not the things after it, i'm not sure if I need to. --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  02:25, 10 February 2013 (UTC) New & improved :)

That bad username

Just re-read my comment last night and want to apologise because it does sound snarky. It was meant to be funny, but I often don't get the pitch right. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 11:43, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Its alright, I actually thought it was kind of funny. As passionate as I am about the complete devolvement (hey I just coined a new word :)) of the Welsh Parliament, The whole Jimbo in jail thing was probably the only funny pun i've ever heard. --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  15:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Testing again

Okay, so I was told that my sig is annoying, so i'm testing a method of transcluding it as a template rather than code, as from here. Let's see...

DYK for Coronal cloud

Carabinieri (talk) 16:03, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Wow...thank you SO much guys! Actually, I was half expecting this article to get AFD'd for no good reason given the bureaucracy here, but, wow, this changed my opinion of Wikipedia entirely! --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  17:05, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

WP:CABAL is half right. There is no cabal of administrators and established users trying to impose their view on Wikipedia, and what vestiges of an "Adminatti" there may have been were cleaned up in the Essjay and WordBomb/Naked Short Selling controversies. There is no cabal as we would imagine them, per se, but there is a cabal. The Deletionist cabal. These are usually not admins, although in rare cases they may be, but more often newbies who care more about their edit count and the hopes of becoming an admin (to quote Jimbo Wales, it's not a big deal), than improving the encyclopedia. These people will nominate pages for AFD that are usually not worthy of such, and unfortunately once on AFD the hive mind takes over, members of this cabal and even established users who just want to fit in and vote the same as everyone else will plaster the page with delete after delete, until within a day, it snows and a perfectly encyclopedic article disappears.

• No references? Well, its far easier to list the article for deletion as original research or non-notability than it is to find sources.
• Bad prose or written in another language? Why bother translating when you can just vote delete and increase your edit count without doing much of anything!
• Just in a bad mood? Most articles will disappear if listed as most AFDs result in editors who have some sort of vendetta against the subject flooding the discussion. Add that template and watch Wikipedia shrink before your eyes!
• I know it is bad wikietiquette to accuse people who disagree with you of sockpuppetry, but typically an obscure and obviously controversial AFD will be filled with socks on either side who simply never get exposed.
• Some people just hate Wikipedia and want it gone article by article. Either that, or they're a bit passive-aggressive.
  
  

Needless to say, I am scared to death and paranoid of these people, and maybe you should be too. Just be thankful this article survived... --Free Wales Now! what did I screw up?  17:37, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
