I'm a bit confused about your warning to User:James116 on his talk page about vandalism. This user has indulged in multiple incidents of vandalism today, and I think that a single warning from you mentioning no specific incidents probably does not accurately reflect the reality of this user's actions enough. It does not allow for the proper escalation of warnings to be given so that an administrator can step in, when appropriate, to take more firm action against the user. I've gone through the user's contributions for today, and, given the timing of the warning you posted, a total of six separate incidents occurred, including 2 after your message. This would certainly have allowed for the due process to take place, which has been thwarted a little, but perhaps not entirely, by your warning as it stands. Can I politely encourage you to consider the advantages of logging each incident of vandalism separately so that users who are primarily just concerned with vandalising can have aprpropriate action taken against them as soon as is practical to avoid them doing too much damage to Wikipedia? Many thanks. DDStretch (talk) 15:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for reverting vandalism to my user pages. Best, Johntex\ talk 17:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
My bad on the references, pretty tired and got into sort of a drone mode Thesaddestday 12:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
What action do you recommend for edits such as those by 64.91.7.138? 75.185.66.16 04:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

WTF are you talking about unsourced material moron? Didn't you see the movie? He did it on camera. Ask someone you know who's actually a Jackass fan since you're apparently not. As for defamatory, hey I didn't tell him to chug horse spunk.

Hi, if you mean the $ signs, that's been happening for a while. It's because I'm not an admin, I just use the popup system to revert, and it creates its own edit summary. I've tried to do things about it, but it's not that bad! Thanks for taking an interest, though.-- Rambutan ( talk) 14:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Thats what he said, "FUCK fucking fox news", it was on his nin.com update.
For fixing the revert on Evolution. I saw I hadn't gone far enough but lag... ah well. KillerChihuahua ?!? 15:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Re [1]: I'm delighted to see that someone else took note of the linksearch tags! However, the main idea is not only to provide an easy search link, but also to leave a 'live' weblink on the talkpage (it won't improve their search ranking due to the nofollow tag). This way, earlier warnings for the same spam will be interlinked through the linksearch, which will help a great deal keeping track of repeat spammers and their sock accounts. Though it doesn't really matter how the links are placed on the page, I've created {{ subst:spam interlink}} for convenience. For a wider search, the domain should be reduced to a minimum, see also the documentation of the similar {{ spam-i}}. Femto 11:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
i need a little more info and i thought i would get it from somebody firsthand. if you could just sum up the idea of nanotech in just a couple sentences that would be great. Thanks. 65.103.159.21 04:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)jackson owens 65.103.159.21 04:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
I do apologize if some of the wrong tags get applied. I am working on my project of clearing out the unassessed articles in the WPBIO project, and most articles need the {{expand}} and {{unreferenced}} tags. I put it {{wfy}} so that will be compliant with the WPBiography standards. A lot of it is copying and pasting on some occassions I forget to remove that tag. A lot of the articles are stub/start class, but it does not hurt to have someone peruse the article again to make sure I am insane and then remove it. I apologize if this has caused any confusion and if you feel I have unjustly tagged an article for wikifying just remove the tag, no harm done. Thanks! -- Ozgod 05:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't think he removed his own tag. I wasn't thinking and I put the wrong username tag on his page and I never got back to putting on the right one; thanks, though! Wikipedian27 14:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
With regard to the Chinatown article, it rambled a lot and gave specifics about businesses that read like advertisements. For an LA neighborhood article, it runs at least 10x longer than the average other article, and with a lot of information that doesn't seem particularly relevant or interesting. I removed a couple of what I felt were the most egregious cases of this. I think the article is still far too long for its purpose, but I'll let others deal with that if they think that is the case.
Best regards, Tckrtckr 08:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
.. for reverting the FSU vandal who just hit my user page. Thanks :) - Alison ✍ 01:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I'd like to inform you that if you block this IP address for editing, you will be blocking the entire school network. As a teacher on this network, I'd appreciate it if you didn't block our static IP address for editing. I will do my best to inform my kids about appropriate Wiki editing and how to not vandalize, but until that time, I hope you consider keeping our IP operable.
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.158.33.5 ( talk • contribs)

SpuriousQ said: Hi Bobo, you deleted Pentz, but I could have sworn there was a legit article there before the vandalism hit. Can you check the edit history to make sure? Thanks.
Previous versions of the article include revisions about a "homosexual, loud dog", a flamer named Jordan Pentz (along with an image link to Facebook), and some (albeit rather impressive) ASCII art. No revision of this article has been in any way encyclopedic, and it is likely to always remain that way.

I realize you, and others, are for some reason doing their best to keep negative information off the Paris Hilton page - but photographs and video are about as conclusive evidence as you can get, short of her admitting as much herself to Barbara Walters. It doesn't matter whether the information comes from Youtube.com or Awfulplasticsurgery.com, ANYONE can view the images/video first-hand, so there is no question of the reliability of the source, the sources are direct, they are PRIMARY SOURCES.
furthermore, any "inferences" made do not require an appeal to a "reliable source", since they are mere logical deductions. A) Gossip press says Hilton is racist against African-Americans; B) Footage exists of her using ethnic slurs. There is no "original research" or "inference" there.
and why are you using the inclusive "we"? are you among a select few that dictate wikipedia policy? no? i thought not.
I'm providing facts, you're deleting them. I can't for the life of me fathom why...
The ParisExposed.com website is one of the most significant things ever to happen to her career, and is all over network news stations around the world - yet you, and a group of editors who appear to be Paris Hilton "fans", don't wish Wikipedia to make anything other than the most off-hand, dismissive reference to it, while detailing 37KB of positive or neutral information.... Ledenierhomme 12:02, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, let me get this straight. It's okay to reference YouTube when it's something positive ("Paris Hilton has her own channel in YouTube which is currently the #34 most subscribed channel of all time on the service, with over 10,000 subscriptions and 2,000,000 views.") but not negative (her saying "niggers")... the context is clear by the way, and you know it. Same goes for The Daily Telegraph (Australia) in reference 4.
Also, TMZ.com, TheBosh.com, Filmbug.com, E! Online, dailycal, and other websites of questionable credibility are referenced throughout with positive information - whereas when it comes to negative information, New York Post and Sydney's largest newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, are, according to your good self, "hardly reliable sources".
Despite your quite humorous attempts to appear devoted to academic rigour and source objectivity, it's clear your will go to any length to keep negative information off this page, no matter how ridiculous and hypocritical you look. Whatever. I've got more important things to do with my time, like marking about 50 essays before this weekend. I hope you get to meet Ms Hilton one day, I'm sure she'll go for your type............ HA! Ledenierhomme 00:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I thought the "welcome" message you sent was a great touch. I've been a big fan of WP for a long time, and I'm a seasoned writer (in other areas), so my inception as a contributor to WP has been a long time coming. The learning curve was surprisingly gentle (though I am a lifelong techie, but still : )
With the welcome letter, you filled in what few questions I still had remaining, and you encouraged some suggestions that I have happily now made into regular habit.
I've done enough damage... I mean, improvement for the betterment of WikiKind for one day.
You may just be "doing your job" by guiding new users, but I owe you the thanks you deserve. You put a human face on WP, and even though I didn't think it was possible, I admire and embrace the whole concept even more than I did this time yesterday.
Thanks! Feel free to contact me any time. I think I've left my email address open, but in case I haven't, it's ManfrenjenStJohn.wikipedia at hackwrench dot com. Like, you know, you're not busy welcoming 8 billion new users a day. : )
Props Where Props are Due, -- user:ManfrenjenStJohn -- ManfrenjenStJohn 09:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, sorry for the "cute" headline. : )
Nice to be working with you on Wiki!
I'm new as an editor (you knew that), but I've been interested in WikiP for ages. Can you tell me, or link me, so that I might understand what your role is? I mean, I get it to some extent... you're a shepherd for new editors like me. (I'm a systems guy, you can get as technical as you like in your response.) I've read your suggestions and your talk page and it's all been very helpful and informative. But what I'm missing is: What are your "magical powers", for (horrid) lack of a better metaphor. Do you have an assigned area of topics/interests? When and how did I show up on your radar so you could observe and help me? How exactly did I enter your "airspace"?
Hungry for info. : )
Thanks! -- ManfrenjenStJohn 09:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Not to seem a bit obtrusive, being new and all, but quite a bit of the information on the site regarding Warhammer 40,000 and the races and characters related to it is incorrect. However, I am just a bit intimidated, being that I would say too much, or not enough, or just not detailed in a way that would meet this website's standards. If you could please take some time to help me out, that would be wonderful. Thank you -- Guilliaman 05:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I didn't notice that bit about the edit summary.
And, I hate to say it, but I'm nowhere near as good an editor as I may or may not appear to be.
Thanks for the compliment though. Oh, and, how would I be able to cite a Games Workshop Codex? -- Guilliaman 06:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Codexes are specified army lists in book form, with background information and variations. The only problem is, I don't know offhand if they have an ISBN number. Oh, nevermind, found it. Now that I have it verified as a source, how would I go about using this as a citation. Should I do end notes like MLA formatting, or what?
{{cite book |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title= |year= |publisher= |location= |isbn= }}
Alright, thanks. I just wondered if that link was cite ready, or if I would have to alter things. That's about it for now, I just have to learn my way around this coding stuff. I'm terrible at coding... :D
I need some help concerning this user. He is making unconstructive edits to Hypno-Disc by changing battle information and making it suggest that Hypno-Disc won many battles, which it actually lost. And Zonda07 is a sockpuppet of a similarly named Zonda2200. I quite tired of having to revert his edits and could use a bit of support, can you help me out on this? Glenn Browne 11:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
You may remember reverting all those edits on my page. How do I revert edits? The jerk made even more. If I knew how to ban him, I would. Teaching me how to revert would be greatly appreciated. Do I just delete the edits and redo the old ones, or do I push a button or something. Thanks. --Rebelkass
Hi.
I've ben trying to leave a brief description of AND Magazine on your site but it's been cited as advertising and speedy deletion. ? Absolutely no way is it advertising, I'm just trying to point out a few of areas that make it what it is. happy for you to advise or rewite. All the items in the text are entirely factual. I have tried to upload an image to go with it but must confess I'm having a little trouble sorting it all out including how to edit - whta are all those symbols for - yes I've read the help - sorry. very grateful for your help.

Thank you for reverting (and reverting and reverting...) the vandalism on my talk page. Cheers, Opelio 10:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I believe someone has recently seen a certain, unacceptable change, on my page. I had put the setting on my computer for auto log-in, and it seems someone else, having learned about my recent editing, decided to cause some trouble. I am terribly sorry if anyone was inconvenienced, but it won't happen again.
-- Guilliaman 14:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Just noticed that you reverted vandalism on my userpage earlier today. Thank you very much! Will (aka Wimt) 17:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time to help with editing wikipedia. I've made edits in the past with different ip addresses, but never with an account. Anyway, if you had any advice on setting up my user page, I'd appreciate it, because I have no clue what I'm doing. Thanks again. Mattbash 00:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
There's an anonymous user that keeps adding a section to the Chris Hansen page about an arrest which sounds pretty bogus. They don't have any sources and I can't find anything about it online. I keep reverting it but they keep putting it back. Any way to block them? Thanks!

There is a need for an "Art Stamps" page. I created this page from scratch. Whrther the external links are permissible or not is a valid discussion, but the "Art Stamps" page shoudl still be allowed to refer readers to Rubber Stamps.
Note that Art Stampers are somewhat disinfranchised from the business-side of rubber stamping, and this should possibly be a consideration. That is, few art stampers think much about or are very interested in "office stamps." This is because office stamps are largely utilitarian while art stamps are a pure art form.
Ultimately, the section under rubber stamps that deals with "Rubber Stamps as an Art Form" may be best rellocated to the Art Stamps page, as the discussion of art stamping is itself a lengthy and illustrious topic. The techniques, process of using stamps, and finished products are only related to office stamps int he most remote of ways.
The link to Addicted To Rubber Stamps may not meet your guidelines. I don't know as I am new to editing articles.
But I will assert that they are a very special company--not just another online store. They are utterly in a league by themselves, and they lead the industry in many ways.
Addicted To Rubber Stamps has been selling art stamps online since before Amazon.com sold books. (Yes, this is a true fact...I do happen to know the founder of the company.)
Addicted To Rubber Stamps carries a million items in their store. By way of contrast, the next closest art stamp store online that I am aware of carries about 10,000 items. This means that Addicted To Rubber Stamps is reasonably 100-times the size of its next nearest competitor. It's a noteworthy and formidable gap.
More to the point, Addicted To Rubber Stamps is the place that stampers turn to to see new products first. This sounds like a lot of bravado, but they are the resource that 2,000 independent stores use to select their own stamps from. They carry virtually every rubber stamp manufacturer, and their SKU numbers are widely accepted by many companies including competitors.
For these reasons, I believe that special mention of Addicted To Rubber Stamps may be useful and noteworthy.
If in doubt...visit their web site and form your own objective opinion.
