Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Also, WP:TW may possibly be of interest to you. Gscshoyru 23:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the message. I am pretty new to contributing to wikipedia. Can you clarify what you wanted me to do? Thank you for being courteous and knowledgable. Robert cone 23:14, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Specifically, warn vandals when you revert them. One of the links I gave you should link to a list of all of the different warnings you can give. Start at level 1, and work up to level 4, except in the case of blatant vandalism, when you can skip steps. Past level 4, report them to WP:AIV. And twinkle makes doing this much, much easier, if you're gonna make a habit out of it. Gscshoyru 23:19, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

How do you get/use twinkle? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert cone (talk • contribs) 23:23, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Follow the link I gave you, and follow the instructions. And don't forget to sign your posts. Gscshoyru 23:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

You want to paste it in your monobook.js page, not your user page, silly :) Gscshoyru 23:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle not working? You using something other than firefox? Or did you not hit ctrl-f5? (Tell me if I'm being too invasive). Gscshoyru 00:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I tried. I am working on Safari. I am not that fluent in computer language and programing. You are not being too invesive, you are just trying to help someone that is not good with programing.Robert cone 00:22, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Programming ability has nothing to do with it; it's a simple enough process. But if you're not using firefox, then it may not work, as firefox is the mainly supported browser... but did you try hitting ctrl-f5, to do a hard refresh? (Oh and firefox is awesome.) Gscshoyru 00:25, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
