Hello, I'm GabrielF. An edit that you recently made to User:Jimbo Wales seemed to be a test and it has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. GabrielF (talk) 19:38, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

If you look at the top of the page, there will be a list of links, starting with your username and ending with Log Out. One of those links is Sandbox. If you click on Sandbox it will take you to a page where you can experiment and test as much as you want without any problems. GabrielF (talk) 19:44, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Happy to help. Please let me know if you have any further questions. GabrielF (talk) 19:47, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, for Wikipedia go to Special:ListFiles/GabrielF (substitute the username you want to search for). For commons go to [1] (again, put the username you want in). GabrielF (talk) 19:53, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi TheresAStormComingBuddy, I was wondering why you flagged the update to Steven Landsburg's recent comments about Rape as vandalization. They were properly cited to his writings, do nothing to threaten the integrity of wikipedia, and are factually accurate. They seem like something people might care about, since suggesting some rape is good is not a particularly popular position. What is your reasoning here? I'm curious, because I do not believe that my edits qualify as vandalism under wikipedia's policy. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.127.75 (talk) 23:14, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Your warning

Hello, TheresAStormComingBuddy. You have new messages at TheresAStormComingBuddy's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

I do not know who you are but I have reported your warning to an administrator. I have done no vandalism on Josiah Winslow or any other article and, as a matter of fact, I am a Rollbacker who removes "vandalism". I do not see any edits that I have done that could be remotely called vandalism. I have many, many edits to this article, and have created many related-articles. If there is some vandalism, I suggest you point out what you think it is or please remove the warning from my page. Thanks. Mugginsx (talk) 23:44, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:

Oh, heheh, I'm so sorry about the misunderstanding. You see, I'm new, and I feel that to protect Wikipedia's integrity, I should counter vandalism. Now I got a bit curious, so I wanted to see what happens to vandalism and how quick it would be dealt with (pretty fast!). I'm sorry about that, and with permission, I'd like to get back out there and prevent more vandalism. TheresAStormComingBuddy (talk) 20:05, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have experimented inappropriately, and attempted to undertake counter-vandal work wih no clear understanding as to how or when to do so. I most earnestly recommend that when your block expires you concentrate solely on article editing until you know your way around here, and leave vandal-fighting to the more experienced, or you are liable to find yourself in awful trouble. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 20:26, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I just took a look and made it permanent. We've got enough abusive sockpuppeteers; we don't need more. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 17:25, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I have spent a little time going back through your edits.l It is perfectly true to say that you have identified some vandalism edits, although your perception of vandalism does not wholly coincide with that generally held here, and some notifications are dead wrong; but you clearly do not as yet know which warning to issue in which circumstances. Please watch and learn before diving in to counter-vandal work.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 20:39, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

A bit curious? The account you created was incredibly offensive and far from what I would consider "curious". I would say it ranked somewhere similar to the long-term abuse area. Not only that there were several instances of logged out vandalism. This wasn't a one time fling. @Admins, you may undo this block if you feel that the user has given a satisfactory explanation.
