I've seen a handful of reports you've made come up on WP:AIV, frequently with comments from Admins that have declined to block the reported user because of insufficient warnings. I'd recommend you read WP:CVU for a better overview of warning and/or reporting vandals. I applaud your efforts at reducing the damage vandals do to Wikipedia, but like many other behind-the-scenes tasks, it requires close attention to details and careful following of established procedures. And it's not a race, as I was told early on in my own efforts. Nobody gets awards for reverting the most questionable edits in the shortest period. It's more important to get it RIGHT than it is to get it FAST. Cheers, Alan the Roving Ambassador ( talk) 18:54, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
They could be warned. I didn't because I don't most times. I know that the "proper" way to do things would be to warn them but with IPs, it's hard to tell if you'll be 'talking' to the same person since IP addresses change. If similar edits come from the same address, then I'll usually warn them since the IP, at that point, seems to be fixed to one person. If you'd like to warn them, be my guest.

This should not have been reverted as vandalism or as a test. Yes, it should have been reverted, but for a different reason and with a different warning message - it was promotional, or possibly a good faith personal opinion. Vandalism, as you have been told numerous times, is a deliberate attempt to damage the encyclopedia. I'd recommend you only use STicki to revert changes that are blatantly and obviously bad faith vandalism, or are obviously test edits -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 12:04, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
This was not vandalism. It's part of a plot line about a soap opera, and it might even be factually correct - did you bother to check the article to see what it was about before you reverted it? -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 12:06, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Gobbles, you need to pay some attention here and adjust what you are doing. You're doing a lot of good vandalism reverts, but you're still getting too many wrong, and I think the reason for your mistakes is the same as it's always been - you're going too fast. SLOW DOWN.
Part of the problem is your use of STiki, which can be used to revert vandalism very quickly - but it needs some expertise. You absolutely have to be able to understand exactly what is and what is not vandalism, and I'm afraid you still don't appear to understand. If you have a look at the range of warnings at Wikipedia:Warnings, you'll see many different ones, for a variety of different reasons. I haven't used STiki much - in fact, I've only given it a trial run yesterday - but it seems to me that it is aimed at the {{subst:uw-vandalism...}} range of reasons/warnings only, as that seems to be the only warnings it gives, and it always says "test/vandalism" in the edit summary. It appears to be only for obvious test edits or blatant vandalism, not for flexible or general-purpose reverting.
That means for other reversion reasons/warnings - blanking, POV, incorrect article layout, bad grammar, factual inaccuracies, etc, you should not be reverting them as vandalism and warning people of vandalism. Yes they often should be reverted, but not using STiki.
Unless you're looking at blatantly obvious vandalism ("Woo woo, he's got a small penis" kind of stuff), you should be clicking through the links to check the actual article diffs, looking at the history, reading the actual article to understand the context of the change, and then perhaps reverting manually and warning manually. You should NOT just be clicking the "Vandalism (undo)" button.
I really fear you are going to lose STiki access soon, and even be banned from using all automated tools. In fact, unless you get your act together pretty quickly, listen to what people are saying, and most of all SLOW DOWN, I think it will be inevitable.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but you have a history of not paying attention to friendly advice. And you really are running out of last chances here.
Best regards -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 12:42, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gobbleswoggler, I'm happy to help with general questions - perhaps offer advice on how to use tools, on how to learn about various policies, etc. But as I've said to you several times on my Talk page now, I can't solve every one of your uncertainties when it comes to whether something is vandalism or not, or whether it's a bad username. The whole point of *you* patrolling vandalism etc is that *you* have to use *your* judgment, based on the relevant Wikipedia policy pages, rather than other people having to make the decisions. And if your judgment is not up to it, and you are uncertain about something - just leave it alone! Move on to the next thing, and leave the one you don't understand to the next person who happens to see it - there are many people doing new change patrol, and someone more confident will surely come along. So please, I've asked you 3 or 4 times now, stop asking me "Is this change vandalism?" etc every time you don't know. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 18:27, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Ok I'll try that,but it they are blatant and clear vandalism I will revert quicker. Gobbleswoggler ( talk) 19:52, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Here's a suggestion you might want to consider. Why don't you take a short break from Wikipedia, and come over to Wikibooks instead? Wikibooks has as much vandalism per day as Wikipedia has in a minute, so there's a lot of time for you to think carefully about whether the edit constitutes vandalism. Don't use Twinkle and ask for help when necessary - we've a small but nice community over there. While you're at it, maybe you can help write up a Wikijunior book about football or any topic you're interested in. There are few guidelines about format except an unofficial Manual of Style, so there's very little chance you'll make any mistakes by doing so. Kayau Voting IS evil 12:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gobbles. You just asked me, over on my Talk page, for one last chance.
Let's be blunt - you've already had more "last chances" than most people, but you've thrown every one of them back in our faces. You have repeatedly promised to stick to simple things and not do things you don't fully understand, but you have broken those promises every time.
So no, if it was my decision, you'd get no more chances, and you would now be blocked again.
If you look back at our recent interactions, you might see that I appear to have been getting a bit pissed off with your constant refusals to listen and to actually follow the sensible advice that a number of people have given you - and if you look back on my Talk page archives and the interactions I've been involved in, you'll see that I'm a pretty relaxed kind of person who really doesn't get pissed off easily.
I do think you're trying to edit in good faith, but I simply don't think you possess sufficient competence and maturity to do the things you're trying to do - they really are things that need mature judgment, and you just do not possess it. That is not a problem for many young Wikipedians, because most of them recognize their limitations and keep within them, gradually learning and expanding as they go. But you can't see your own limitations even when a large number of very experienced Wikipedians repeatedly point them out to you and give you very clear advice.
So, I honestly think you should leave Wikipedia for a serious amount of time, and go spend some of your young life doing young person things. (I don't know how old you are, but I know for sure that when I was your age there was no Wikipedia and no Internet, and I spent my spare time in fishing, cycling, photography, reading real paper books, listening to music - all sorts of things). There are plenty of years ahead of you, and you can come back to Wikipedia when it's not the obsession that it seems to be at the moment.
Anyway, I'm not an admin, and what happens to you now is not for me to decide. I wish you well in your life.
Best regards -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 14:02, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
Also,during the week i'll basically just be using Stiki and updating football stats because i'll be at school during the day and be doing homework or extra curricular activities at school.I think if i stick to this,and maybe spellcheck,and reading some guidelines,i could improve.

I've just looked back on recent STiki reverts, and I found the following...
Those are from just the first page of your recent contributions, and I think they demonstrate pretty conclusively that you should not be reverting vandalism at the pace that STiki facilitates, if at all. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 16:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

HI Gobbles. I had actually drafted a message last week to welcome you back, but then I saw I had to hang fire with it for a while. You were blocked for 6 months, you meticulously counted the days, and it must have felt a very long time at your age, and you returned bang on 6 months on 4 February. You have been given advice from some of the most patient of our experienced editors and admins, including me, and still you refused to listen. You lasted THREE whole days before screwing it all up again. Doesn't that tell you anything????? This time your block is indefinite and no amount of pleading on this page and badgering admins will get the block lifted for a very long time - you've lost all the patience and confidence we gave you. Look for a new hobby, write a blog, do some computer graphics, read some books, watch some telly, play some video games - do anything that keeps you off your bicycle, and out of the shopping mall, and ask your class teacher for advice. I wish you well. Kudpung ( talk) 09:55, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Gobbles. Are you still watching your talk page? It's been hinted elsewhere by some editors that my message above was unduly harsh. You've had harsher ones from others, but if you thought it was, please understand that I was only trying to help, and didn't want to hurt your feelings in the slightest. But your problem is, you wouldn't listen, not even to Boing said Zebedee, who also lives some of the time here in Thailand, and is a really patient person. I know how much it means to you to edit the Wikipedia and another whole year is going to seem like a heck of a long time. Beeblebrox who blocked you is a very fair and experienced admin and he's also an WP:oversighter which means he gets a lot of extra trust from this community, and what he says, goes. However, I think we can try to work it out to get your indef block down to a year, or even less if it works out well, but you're gonna have to listen to me. You and I can discuss this here, or if you prefer, we can do it through the Wikipedia email system where we still won't know each others' real names, but where we can talk about in privacy. When I think you're ready, I'll chat with some admins and see what they say. But don't expect any miracles - remember, we're still talking of anything around a year. What do you think? Would you like to give it a try? You can reply here, or on my own talk page. Kudpung ( talk) 10:54, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
I wish to be unblocked as i want to update football statistics. I realise i have not listened to people in the past and i will admit that during the tenure of my blocked, i have been editing the football statistics.The reason i was changing the footie stats anonymously is because i'm a massive footie fan and i refer to the stats alot and i wanted to make sure they were up to date for the rest of people to refer to as well. Plus,if i am unblocked,i will take AND follow advice given to me. The only other things i would edit would be typos,mistakes in the page structures and BLATANT vandalism. I would leave anything incase i disrupted the work of others. I am sorry i haven't taken advice in the past and am not likely to be unblocked now,but i can assure you i will take advice from any that offer it. as i said above,i would love to be unblocked so i could update footie statistics as i enjoy doing so. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Gobbleswoggler ( talk) 14:52, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't think you have overcome the competence issue which led to your block in February. You have repeatedly promised you'd listen to others and stop being disruptive, but every time, through overeagerness and, I fear, immaturity, you have created much work for others to clean up after you. Not to mention the extremely recent block evasion, which is the ultimate deal-breaker. As I've said, I'm sorry, but, no, your block will not be lifted at this time. Please wait at least another six months before requesting another unblock and, what's more important, do not evade this block again. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:15, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Plus,if i am unblocked,i will take AND follow advice given to me. The only other things i would edit would be typos,mistakes in the page structures and BLATANT vandalism. I would leave anything incase i disrupted the work of others. I am sorry i haven't taken advice in the past and am not likely to be unblocked now,but i can assure you i will take advice from any that offer it. as i said above,i would love to be unblocked so i could update footie statistics as i enjoy doing so. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Gobbleswoggler ( talk) 14:52, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I'm sorry, but I don't think you have overcome the competence issue which led to your block in February. You have repeatedly promised you'd listen to others and stop being disruptive, but every time, through overeagerness and, I fear, immaturity, you have created much work for others to clean up after you. Not to mention the extremely recent block evasion, which is the ultimate deal-breaker. As I've said, I'm sorry, but, no, your block will not be lifted at this time. Please wait at least another six months before requesting another unblock and, what's more important, do not evade this block again. Salvio Let's talk about it! 15:15, 7 August 2011 (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've blocked your IP, as you are using it to anonymously evade your block. While blocked, you are NOT allowed to edit Wikipedia at all. This will not go down well in your attempts to be unblocked. -- Boing! said Zebedee ( talk) 13:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
