• Don't create duplicates of other articles. They should be made as redirects instead. JuJube 00:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, okay. There doesn't seem to be any discussion about it, but alright. JuJube 00:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
    • I've completed the history merge here. (It wasn't an entirely simple case, as one of the revisions on the disambiguation page had to be left where it was.) Is the history in the right place now, and is the right revision top on each article? --ais523 12:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Requested Block of User:202.59.31.226

Hiya. I'm afraid I've removed your report from WP:AIV. Administrators won't block unless the vandal is currently active, and this IP had not editied in well over 6 hours. Thank you for your assistance. Pedro :  Chat  13:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'll get him next time... PatrickWaters (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

He! If there's long term problems you can report it to WP:ANI. If the vandalism is current then use WP:AIV. I know it all looks a bit confusing on when to report and why sometimes we have to decline blocks, but you'll get the hang of it! Pedro :  Chat  13:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
