Your request for rollback edit

 

Hi Edderso. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 02:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

ACC Request edit

I would like to sign up for the Account Creation Request Interface and I have requested an account on the interface. Thank you. --   EdTrist     talk    contribs  15:51, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hey there. I'm sorry to say I have declined your request per the fact that you have been actively editing only for a month. While I appreciate your interest in ACC, I think you need more experience before being granted access to the tool. Please re-request after one or two months by asking any of the ACC admins (you can of course ask me). Cheers, Pmlineditor  10:32, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks... edit

Is it something about Ed? edit

Feel free to pull this section if you want. Not sure if it's something about the name Ed that causes two of us to be squashing vandals on Huggle at the same time. Funny coincidence though, isn't it?--GnoworTC 19:00, 24 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks for your prompt response and good work catching edits to User:Hashbrowncipher. My edits to that page were intentional, not vandalism; I just forgot to log in. Thanks again. Hashbrowncipher (talk) 02:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re: unblanking of Legal Information for Families Today edit

Hi, EdTrist. Keep in mind that when an editor blanks a page to which he or she is the sole significant contributor, that's considered equivalent to a request for speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G7 and doesn't merit a vandalism warning. In such a case, just tag the page {{db-author}} or {{db-blanked}} instead. Cheers! -- Rrburke (talk) 17:19, 20 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Summerwind edit

Just what is your problem? A vandal had removed large portions of the article. Since the material was sourced, I re-added it. Reverting vandalism is a good thing, isn't it? 75.2.209.226 (talk) 19:09, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. My apologies, that was a mistake and I've put the information back now. Thank you for reverting it in the first place, and I apologise for seeing it as vandalism. --   EdTrist     talk    contribs  19:35, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Please, for the record, put your apology on my talk page. Thanks. 75.2.209.226 (talk) 20:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

You are now a Reviewer edit

 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:04, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Nicholas Breakspear School edit

Hi, thank you for removing vandalism from the Nicholas Breakspear School article. Goes to show the importance of being fastidious while reverting. --Iohannes Animosus (talk) 20:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Mineral, VA edit

Hi, I was actually present in the epicenter of the earthquake. Being a geological scientist I can firmly say that the earthquake did hit a 9,001 rating in Mineral as it was the closest distance from the earthquake, only 3.7 miles above it. So therefore my edits are correct and I would appreciate if you would stop vandalizing the page with false information. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.244.74.219 (talk) 19:19, 23 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you! edit

  The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
I saw you on vandalism patrol today. It's my personal tradition to give barnstars to any vandal fighter I happen to see, and while I admittedly don't keep on top of my queue I at least make sure SOME users get one! So here's a barnstar, if you eat WikiLove for breakfast. K6ka (talk | contribs) 03:16, 8 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
