What I do

I just go to recent changes, click on a page that you think is your best bet, look at history and compare the selected versions. If there is vandalism, click "undo". Then warn the vandal. Hope that helps (: Let's go and get some vandals! Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 21:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Blocking

Actually, unless you're an admin, you can't block someone. However, you can Report them here. And you can use templates to show them that they are blocked. Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 21:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC) reply

WP:AIV

Hi Exert,

I noticed what looked like your first-ever report to AIV. It wasn't formatted the way they like it, so I stuck my nose in and formatted it. For your future use, the correct way to add a report for a vandal using an IP address and a registered user, repsectively, is to add a line at the bottom of the page like this:

  • {{IPvandal|76.180.22.12}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~
  • {{Vandal|Example User Name}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~

Then it's formatted correctly, the automated bots they use to maintain the page will recognize it, and (hopefully) the vandal gets nuked faster. -- barneca ( talk) 16:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC) reply

(my reply to your comment on my talk page, copied here) No problem. When I first started editing and looking "behind the curtain", i was really amazed at how much vandalism there is, and how many people there are trying to clean it up. Don't know if you know this already or not, but Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism has a lot of useful info if you decide you want to do more of it. Watch out, tho, it's addictive. -- barneca ( talk) 17:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I'm not sure what happened to your sandbox. I don't think it was deleted, so maybe you just didn't get the link right. And cheers just means "Good day."

Your AIV report

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Khu kri 14:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I reported 71.49.180.197 cause he had a final warning then he had a page reverted by a bot then he vandalized Avian Flu, Thus vandalizing after his final warning. User:Exert 14:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply

May I just point you to the text at the top of WP:AIV vandalized after a recent last warning. I'm sorry but 2 and a half weeks ago isn't recent, and with it being a anonymous IP there's a high chance the person vandalising isn't the same as before. We must be seen to follow out own rules. Trust me I know vandalism is a pain in the proverbial but if administrators start blocking at will without following our own rules, then there will be all sorts of accusations of impropriety. Cheers Khu kri 14:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply
I did not realize that the final warning was given two weeks ago. I did not read the other warning dates. Sorry for the troubles. User:Exert 14:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply
Not a prob, if you ever need any pointers or help with vandal patrol don't hesitate to gimme a shout, OK? Khu kri 14:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Your edit to Way of St. James

Please note that there is no scientific evidence that the tomb at Santiago de Compostella holds the actual remains of St James. The legend may state so, but without a reference to a scientific publication verifying this claim, please keep the caveat that it is only a legend (and no proven fact) in place. Thank you.

I'm not an admin, but I reported him and it says in the block log if somebody's blocked. I just but the template. Cheers, JetLover ( Talk) ( Sandbox) 21:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Here's a few. {{ test5}} {{ uw-block1}} {{ Bbblock}} Cheers, JetLover ( Talk) ( Sandbox) 21:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC) reply

I saw my mistake and have made a formal apology to the IP user. I'm not sure what, or if I was thinking.

Hi Exert, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs.

Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you.

Regardsing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glen Osbourne. I have updated the article, infobox and a few citations. The article should pass WP:BIO Athlete now. However it's still pretty poor on citation. Still depends on what you want to vote on it. But being that he competed in ECW and ECWA is passable for WP:BIO Athlete and being that he won belts, should be fairly notable in professional wrestling terms. Your thoughts are welcome know.

Hi - while I understand your 'vote' to delete this article based its previous state, I've now done a bit of work on it to assert notability and providing a reliable reference. Sure, it's still nothing but a stub, but verifiable subject notability rather than article quality is what we need to consider at afd's. I hope you can have look at the article and reconsider your position. many thanks Merbabu 10:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I have a way to help

Hello! I noticed your user page, and I also noticed the vandalized userbox. I have a solution that will solve most if not all of your vandalism problems. Go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and file a request for semi-protection following the instructions there. According to the policy at WP:PROTECT, you can have your userpage (but not user talk page) semi-protected indefinitely if you so request. I had it done to my userpage, and it really does help. However, you can't have your page full-protected, which means that users older than 4 days can still edit your user page. However, this stops all IP-vandalism.

I believe that the article was deleted in error and should be reinstated. Ringobongo 01:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Page Deletion?

I recently was informed that our page http://en.wikipedia.org/wik/Hello_Goodbye_the_band was deleted on July 5, 2007 and I would like to contest the deletion since there are other Beatle tribute bands listed with no more or less credibility than our aggregation; in particular 1964 the tribute & Blue Meanies. As far as "notability", since it's inception seven years ago Hello Goodbye has performed to standing room only attendances in the state of Florida thus gaining the act the moniker "Florida's premier musical tribute to The Beatles" as well as performing for over 800,000 live on one night (and over 1 million via TV simulcast on WSVN TV FOX AFFILIATE MIAMI) for the International Boat Show sponsored by Nokea, which is probably more than any other Beatle tribute has ever performed for in a single night (including all of the Beatle festivals worldwide). The band has also been featured in various publications, most notably & prominently in the recently published "All You Need Is Love To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - How The Beatles and U2 Changed The World" written by Todd McFliker ( http://www.creativejournalist.com) and published by Continuum Press ( http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/Search/default.aspx&CountryID=2&ImprintID=2&BookID=129768) in Chapter 10 "The Tribute Bands" pages 105, 106, 107 & 108.

...because at the time I did the welcome, it did not seem clearly evident to me that this person was indeed a vandal. Thus, the welcome is in good faith, and should not be "challenged."

Happy editing, Kukini hablame aqui 06:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I was sorta wondering, since you noted the vandalism here [1], why did you not communicate with this editor about your concerns in his/her vandalism? Kukini hablame aqui 06:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply
Fair enough. I just prefer to warn editors prior to blocking them. For example. I would not choose to block this editor until we went through one more warning, taking us through the whole 4 tests. In the case of a signed-in editor, like this, I would likely then do an indefinite block. I generally will not block someone prior to working them through (or someone else doing so) the test 1, test 2, test 3, test 4 warning system, or similar. Thanks for your response. -- Kukini hablame aqui 07:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Linkin Park and 3RR Three-revert rule

I fully protected the Linkin Park article and blocked four of the fifteen accounts being used to engage in the revert war at Linkin Park, including your user account. A fifth user account was blocked by another admin. An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Most of the editors knew when to stop, some did not. The 3RR vandalism exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. If you have a disagreement over content, discuss that disagreement on this talk page. When in doubt, do not revert. If discussion is not possible, ask for administrative assistance or engage in dispute resolution. For now, please take a break and enjoy the rest of the weekend. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 20:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC) reply

Could you please do something like locking this articles for some time? Many thanks. Sergiogr 21:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC) reply

You can put {{ uw-afd1}} on there talk page. If they do it again you can change the number, so if they did it again you could put {{ uw-afd2}}.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 17:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC) reply

WP:AIV

Hi Exert,

I noticed what looked like your first-ever report to AIV. It wasn't formatted the way they like it, so I stuck my nose in and formatted it. For your future use, the correct way to add a report for a vandal using an IP address and a registered user, repsectively, is to add a line at the bottom of the page like this:

  • {{IPvandal|76.180.22.12}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~
  • {{Vandal|Example User Name}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~

Then it's formatted correctly, the automated bots they use to maintain the page will recognize it, and (hopefully) the vandal gets nuked faster. -- barneca ( talk) 16:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC) reply

(my reply to your comment on my talk page, copied here) No problem. When I first started editing and looking "behind the curtain", i was really amazed at how much vandalism there is, and how many people there are trying to clean it up.

Your AIV report

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Khu kri 14:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC) reply

May I just point you to the text at the top of WP:AIV vandalized after a recent last warning. I'm sorry but 2 and a half weeks ago isn't recent, and with it being a anonymous IP there's a high chance the person vandalising isn't the same as before. We must be seen to follow out own rules. Trust me I know vandalism is a pain in the proverbial but if administrators start blocking at will without following our own rules, then there will be all sorts of accusations of impropriety.

I have a way to help

Hello! I noticed your user page, and I also noticed the vandalized userbox. I have a solution that will solve most if not all of your vandalism problems. Go to Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and file a request for semi-protection following the instructions there. According to the policy at WP:PROTECT, you can have your userpage (but not user talk page) semi-protected indefinitely if you so request. I had it done to my userpage, and it really does help. However, you can't have your page full-protected, which means that users older than 4 days can still edit your user page. However, this stops all IP-vandalism.

Page Deletion?

I recently was informed that our page http://en.wikipedia.org/wik/Hello_Goodbye_the_band was deleted on July 5, 2007 and I would like to contest the deletion since there are other Beatle tribute bands listed with no more or less credibility than our aggregation; in particular 1964 the tribute & Blue Meanies. As far as "notability", since it's inception seven years ago Hello Goodbye has performed to standing room only attendances in the state of Florida thus gaining the act the moniker "Florida's premier musical tribute to The Beatles" as well as performing for over 800,000 live on one night (and over 1 million via TV simulcast on WSVN TV FOX AFFILIATE MIAMI) for the International Boat Show sponsored by Nokea, which is probably more than any other Beatle tribute has ever performed for in a single night (including all of the Beatle festivals worldwide). The band has also been featured in various publications, most notably & prominently in the recently published "All You Need Is Love To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - How The Beatles and U2 Changed The World" written by Todd McFliker ( http://www.creativejournalist.com) and published by Continuum Press ( http://www.continuumbooks.com/Books/detail.aspx?ReturnURL=/Search/default.aspx&CountryID=2&ImprintID=2&BookID=129768) in Chapter 10 "The Tribute Bands" pages 105, 106, 107 & 108.

...because at the time I did the welcome, it did not seem clearly evident to me that this person was indeed a vandal. Thus, the welcome is in good faith, and should not be "challenged." Furthermore, I do not note any "test 1" etc. notices from you or anyone else at this moment. We should likely use those if the editor is, in fact, vandalizing. Happy editing, Kukini hablame aqui 06:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

I was sorta wondering, since you noted the vandalism here [1], why did you not communicate with this editor about your concerns in his/her vandalism? Kukini hablame aqui 06:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply
Fair enough. I just prefer to warn editors prior to blocking them. For example. I would not choose to block this editor until we went through one more warning, taking us through the whole 4 tests. In the case of a signed-in editor, like this, I would likely then do an indefinite block. I generally will not block someone prior to working them through (or someone else doing so) the test 1, test 2, test 3, test 4 warning system, or similar. Thanks for your response. -- Kukini hablame aqui 07:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply
Understood. And I see that you do use the warning system with some editors. Thanks for your work here and for what you do to add to the community. -- Kukini hablame aqui 07:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Online personal training

Hi, in regards to the online personal training article this is my first resource article...I did place links in my attribution footer, but I placed three different ones hoping someone would tell me which one would be the correct way to attribute my contributions...


I think my article explains what online personal training is, what one should look for, and what one should expect. I am a noted, published expert in the field, and that's verifiable...At any rate I hope you look into it before you decide to delete it...thanks.Twtnyc 18:46, 24 July 2007 (UTC) Twtnyc 18:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC) reply

What's the best way to place an author link at the bottom? There arent really any wide-spread industry wide guidelines set forth by the fitness industry as yet as far as standards for online personal training goes, so i thought this would be helpful. thanks for the response btw :) Twtnyc 19:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Stubs

Hello Exert,

I noticed you marked an article as a stub using the {{ stub}} template. Did you know that there are thousands of stub types that you can use to clarify what type of stub the article is? Properly categorizing stubs is important to the Wikipedia community because it helps various WikiProjects to identify articles that need expansion.

You can view the full list of stub types at WP:STUBS.

If you have questions about stub sorting, don't hesitate to ask! There is a wealth of stub information on the stub sorting WikiProject, and hundreds of stub sorters. Thanks! -- Darkwind (talk) 22:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC) reply

Linkin Park and 3RR Three-revert rule

I fully protected the Linkin Park article and blocked four of the fifteen accounts being used to engage in the revert war at Linkin Park, including your user account. A fifth user account was blocked by another admin. An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. See Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. Most of the editors knew when to stop, some did not. The 3RR vandalism exception applies only to the most simple and obvious vandalism, the kind that is immediately apparent to anyone reviewing the last edit. It is not sufficient if the vandalism is simply apparent to those contributing to the article, those familiar with the subject matter, or those removing the vandalism itself. If you have a disagreement over content, discuss that disagreement on this talk page. When in doubt, do not revert. If discussion is not possible, ask for administrative assistance or engage in dispute resolution. For now, please take a break and enjoy the rest of the weekend. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 20:36, 8 September 2007 (UTC) reply

You can put {{ uw-afd1}} on there talk page. If they do it again you can change the number, so if they did it again you could put {{ uw-afd2}}.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 17:21, 15 June 2010 (UTC) reply
