Hello there, and it's great to meet you! In lieu of Cremepuff, I was wondering if you'd like me to take you under my wing. I've been here at Wikipedia for about 2 years now, though I spent a few months in hibernation recently. I primarily fight vandalism, though I also work on improving articles, with the main goal being attaining Featured Article status. Anyway, if you're interested, my talk page is always open. Cheers, and have a great Wikiday, Master of Puppets Care to share? 02:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I might think of more later, but this should do for now. Midorihana (talk) (contribs) 05:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
dant sections of articles sometimes removes as many as 15,000 words from them. Blanking is usually constituted by removing text which is essential to the article without reason or providing an alternative that is more efficient.
I hope those help! If you have any further questions, I'll be watching this page. :) Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share? 05:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I added your editor review to the main editor review page (I'm assuming you forgot to); I then reviewed you and gave you a few questions to answer; they're optional, you don't have to. Also, for those nifty vandal tools, see User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool. Cheers! Master of Puppets Care to share? 21:56, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
1. An anonymous (IP) editor adds the text "jesus walkd among the lepers nd tehy were happy. this can b a metafor for some1 who makes freinds wit soshal outcasts" to the Leprosy article. What action do you take?
2. You revert a user's edit to an article; the user is claiming that the moon is actually a holographic projection, set up by communists who have a base on the Eiffel tower. After this, you notice the user showing up a lot on your watchlist; every article that you visit, he or she makes some changes to, often disrupting dates or names. What do you do?
3. A user who has added some uncited text to a school page claims to be the school's IT director, and threatens to sue you for slander and libel for reverting his edits. What do you do?
For the first one, you'd be safe assuming good faith; the user may just be trying to improve the article by listing a metaphor. Sometimes users with poor english try to add to the Wiki and get marked as vandals; always try to look at all the possibilities, and, if the edit is salvageable, try to help the user make it fit.
For the second and third ones, excellent answers. Master of Puppets Care to share? 06:30, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Er, do you know how to make the popup work?
importScript("User:Lupin/recent2.js"); // User:Lupin/popups.js importScript('User:Lupin/popups.js');
That's so far what I have in my file, and it doesn't work. I don't know much Javascript... Midorihana (talk) (contribs) 05:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
If I make a mistake when I click the rollback button, would it be acceptable to revert my own edit(s)? Midorihana (talk) (contribs) 06:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
I've read WP:NPOV, and I wondered how you would write about a book which had a 'point-of-view'. The book in question is about evolution and how ID isn't science, just religion in disguise. Would a good idea be to have a section for content, then a section for 'reviews' or something? Thanks-- Midorihana (talk) (contribs) 21:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
