Mercury Marine!

Yo! I'm not a vandal, I just wanna give the right info to the article, but some users undo it before seeing the sources I have provided to back up the truth with. Now please take some time to see that my edit was in a good effort with a good faith, and look through the official sources provided. 83.108.225.137 (talk) 22:24, 17 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.225.137 (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your page. --Brad Polard (talk) 23:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


An Agreement

I want to agree with this statement, because i was adding important information to the Undertaker's page, and it said I was vandalizing it. I'm just trying to add more info so myself and other readers get PLENTY of facts! But if you need me to stop, I will. Just tryin' to help. Rangerkid51 (talk) 15:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your page. --Brad Polard (talk) 15:44, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

  • As a reminder, your user talk page exists for the purpose of letting other users leave messages for you. Deletion of the message by you is deemed to be acknowledgment of the message. There is no restriction against other users making good-faith edits to your user talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 18:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes I know, I always read messages before I revert them. I understand there is no "restriction" but I told him to leave my page alone because I get his point and after that, then he doesn't need to post it again, right? --Brad Polard (talk) 18:49, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
A new comment is one thing, but reverting to restore old ones isn't necessary—agreed on that point. —C.Fred (talk) 18:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the understanding. I promise to do better in the future. --Brad Polard (talk) 18:52, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Misplaced Pages, Brad Polard! I am Abce2 and have been editing Misplaced Pages for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Misplaced Pages!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Why thank you! --Brad Polard (talk) 19:37, 7 June 2009 (UTC) If your wanting to fight vandalism, then you may want to look into Twinkle.--Abce2|AccessDenied 19:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know that much about twinkle but I'll sure think about it! --Brad Polard (talk) 19:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Concern about Pianoplonkers's username

Hi Brad, the user you reported to WP:AIV has responded on my user talk page. Let me know what you think. PhilKnight (talk) 18:54, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

I Apoligise

I'm sorry. I didn't know I was vandalising anything. I thought I was just adding and editing around information that some pages might need. But i'll stop now. --Rangerkid51

Keep cool

I know vandals are annoying but one of their motivations is to annoy people and they like it when people get mad at them. It is best to just ignore their provocation and just respond using the template warnings. Also when a vandal has been blocked and immediately resumes after the block you can report to WP:AIV and note the immediate resumption after the block expired.--NrDg 16:35, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

What NrDg said. Don't egg them on; they aren't worth the trouble. - Jredmond (talk) 20:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
I know but I'm just trying to tell the vandals they aren't being funny really. Maybe not in the best fashion but I'll try to do better. --Brad Polard (talk) 20:17, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
The ones you've been warning aren't trying to be funny, though, or at least not directly: they're trolling, waiting for somebody to overreact. Just warn 'em and move on. - Jredmond (talk) 20:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
True, but trolling is also an offense and I wanted to tell them Misplaced Pages doesn't like that either. Maybe not in the best fashion but I'll try to do better. --Brad Polard (talk) 20:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
OK, so please stop replying on User talk:92.226.152.244 - you're not helping that situation by continuing to engage the (blocked) anon. - Jredmond (talk) 20:32, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
If you're an admin then please protect it so he can't edit because he's only using it for abuse. I'm going to leave a note for a few admins to protect the page if it hasn't been already. --Brad Polard (talk) 20:33, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
He's only abusing it because you've kept responding to his abuse. Leave it alone for a while - I'm willing to bet that the 'abuse' will stop if you do. If I'm wrong and he's still abusing it repeatedly after another couple hours, then we can protect the page. - Jredmond (talk) 20:39, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
You're right, I should probably just take a short break to cool down for a while. --Brad Polard (talk) 20:40, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Userpage

May I suggest that you request semi-protection of your userpage, to keep the vandals from attacking it? Until It Sleeps 18:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
