Wikipedia:Introduction

Hey there, I noticed you reverted some material on the Wikipedia:Introduction page ([1]) and it's a common mistake to revert vandalism there, but the page invites people to make test edits, in order to make Wikipedia seem really open. Your vandal-fighting efforts are appreciated, though! --Hojimachong^talk 17:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Your revert on User:Manopingo

Hello Chaffers and thank you for your interest in reverting vandalism. I would like to point out, however, that this revert of yours seems to have been made in error. Generally speaking, users cannot vandalize their own user pages. I have reverted your revert back to the version by the user who is responsible for that user page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. --Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 00:50, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't consider this really an edit war; the content was non-encyclopedic, original research, and completely incoherent. I have attempted to discuss this with the author, but his or her IP changes and so I have no idea if he or she received the message. I left a note on the talk page. Best wishes.

Usertalk:Skomorokh

Thank you for pointing me to the archiving procedure, it has been most helpful. However, I suggest you assume good faith in future, especially concerning personal talkpages.Skomorokh 19:35, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome, and I'll try to be more careful when I'm patrolling Recent changes. --Chaffers ^(talk)/_{(contributions)} 19:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Disagree

I don't think this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Foxy_Brown&diff=next&oldid=120041923 was the right thing to do, even if it is in the Trivia-section it is so silly, I was happy when I saw someone had removed it. So I disagree when you labeled it as vandalism. Greswik 19:39, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

As you can see from the last conversation (Which took place a few seconds ago), I seem to be having trouble reading edits that appear to be blanking carefully before I revert them. As I said a few seconds ago, I will try to be more careful. Sorry, and hopefully this won't happen again. --Chaffers ^(talk)/_{(contributions)} 19:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I suggest you remove the warning from the user in question then. I see someone else has just reverted out the bad jokes from the article mentioned. Greswik 19:58, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok. --Chaffers ^(talk)/_{(contributions)} 21:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Great! Personally, I would have removed the warning in question though. Also in general when something is issued wrongly: it's easier for another user coming at a later stage if it is simply is not there, someone might see the warning, but not read the apology, and then think: Aha! This is a trouble user! . So when I do things like that, I just blank it, and add a short sorry for it, (and only in the edit summary if it was there for just a short time. Perhaps dump a welcome instead, so they won't wonder why they get a message of a diff and cannot see any ;-) ) so any other RCP-er sees it was removed by the user who put it there and it should never been there. It is not vandalism to remove warnings you yourself have issued in error. Must say it's sad to see our endless hours here are necessary, though. The vandals keep on coming... :-/ I think I know how it is to live close to Mordor now, so don't let this grumpy fellow RCP-er scare you. And besides, I talk to much :-) Greswik 15:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

Thanks. I'll try to remember to add them more often. TenPoundHammer 16:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
