  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Ben Crawley, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. If you have valid reasons for removing content, please make it known. --健次(derumi)talk 20:14, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

It appears you had a valid reason for your edits. I will assist you with the deletion process, it looks like you've made a mistake with it. --健次(derumi)talk 20:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Twinkle and fighting vandalism

edit

I see you've been a little busy. :) A couple of notes: to use Twinkle properly, make sure you've forced a re-load on Wikipedia after you've installed it. To do this with Firefox (and, if I recall correctly, Opera and IE), hold the shift and ctrl keys down while selecting 'reload' on the browser. Also, don't forget to sign your warning messages when you post them. This is not necessary with Twinkle (which does it automatically), but if you're hand-crafting the messages with the templates, just follow it up with the four tildes.

Example: {{subst:uw-delete2|Article Name}} ~~~~

Twinkle will allow you to tag an attack page for speedy deletion. It will be the 'csd' tab, and it'll show a menu giving you a variety of reasons for the speedy delete request. If you need to hand-craft one for personal attacks, it is: {{db-attack}} Tags placed on the article space do not need to be signed.

If you ever need to experiment, you can use the Wikipedia:Sandbox or just make your own. You can then link to it with this tag: [[/Sandbox|Personal Sandbox]] Testing speedy deletions on your user pages can get them removed, so be forewarned. --健次(derumi)talk 23:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

WP:CVU status

edit

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!
