Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from
12th Fail. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's
page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See
How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you. -

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template index/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 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. Additionally, you can use things such as
Wikipedia:Twinkle on your PC or phone (I think) to automatically apply these templates.

Hello! Thanks for your help fighting vandalism. I noticed with this edit you tried adding a 5th level user warning; however, there's nothing above a level 4 warning. Once a user has reached level 4, they can be reported to WP:AIV. Let me know if you have any questions. MacAddct1984 ( talk | contribs) 13:39, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
I notice you left a warning on User talk:78.148.155.84 but it appears you did so manually, and you named the section the date with the day specified. I'm not sure if you are aware yet of WP:Twinkle, a gadget that allows you to undo vandalism to previous revisions and automatically applies notices.
