Thank you for your response. I reviewed the details, and agree with not unblocking him. The sandbox is not a free-for-all, and it is obvious he wasn't trying to improve his editing; he was merely being a vandal. Travis declined his unblock, and I have no intention of myself unblocking him at this time. Thanks for your explanation. --].].] 19:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC) |

==Message from ]== |
|
|
I noticed that you deleted the page about the book All-of-a-kind Family. I'm curious as to why? It's a popular children's book, and the first in a series. Was there an issue with the information on the page? I'm planning on rereading the series soon, and would be willing to rewrite a page for the book, but I don't want to bother if it's just going to be deleted. |

<s>Hey. I noticed you blocked this user for their changing of musical genres without sources. I don't think this is a valid block, considering the genre New Wave is indeed written in capitals (see ]). Is there anything else I'm unaware of? If not, then I think an unblock would probably be appropriate.</s> |

Those are some pretty revealing questions you ] {{user|Undead warrior 3}}. I plan on throwing my hat in the ring early next year, I hope you have some equally-probing questions for me. It would be kind of sad to be approved by "per noms" who did nothing more than read the nom, read the answers to the basic questions, and do a quick-check of my history. ]/<small><small>(])/(])/(])</small></small> 18:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC) |

I've seen and reverted his vandalism (on ]), and I noticed your warning about blocking him in case he vandalizes again in his talk page. I'm not sure what I'm expected to do in such a case, so I left this message to you here. I hope its okay. ] (]) 19:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC) |

I noticed your from ] for ], although I didn't see any engagement with ABF - just a summary removal of rollback. This was seemingly for one revert deemed to be incorrect (although not clearly so according to ], which states ''clearly unproductive'' edits as sufficient cause for use of rollback). I thought about it before commenting and at first decided against it, but then a few minutes later I saw your own where the user cleared warnings (and eventual block message). I'm not sure of the difference between the two uses of rollback; the latter could be viewed as being more against policy than the former. I'm not necessarily subscribing to that view, but ] (a shortcut to a specific portion of ]) is pretty clear on the subject of not prohibiting blanking of warnings for both named and anonymous editors. Maybe there were more reverts that caused you to remove rollback, so I understand I might not have the whole picture here. Can you provide a little more depth to this, especially in light of your own similar use of rollback? I don't think it's useful to get into a wikilawyering discussion of whether the edit in question was blatant vandalism; that may not be clearly definable in either case, really. But couldn't you have at least engaged the editor first, rather than immediately removing rollback? <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">] {{!}} ]</span></small> 19:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC) |

:With all due respect, I may ''strongly'' recommend having a look at the relevant policy, as my use of rollback there was ''perfectly'' ]: Removing a block template while blocked is simply not allowed. Additionally, removing a block template while blocked is absolutely not a ]. It's blatantly against policy. Therefore I feel a bit offended by your allegations. Concerning the revocation of rollback: There is broad consent that rollback can be used for blatant vandalism ''only'' (cf. ], ]). In any case it may not be used for good faith edits and to bite newcomers. Additionally rollback may be removed at any time (cf. ]) if misused — without prior notice (cf. ; “”). All in all I think my decision was/is reasonable and completely okay. Regards, —] ''•'']''•'' 20:27, 18 December 2008 (UTC) |

::I withdraw the comparison; as I stated above, I understood there could be disagreement and neither of us (nor the project) is well-served by wiki-lawyering. That was far from my main point, which is this: what's the problem with contacting the user when a questionable revert takes place? We often give vandals four warnings before blocking; don't we owe a long-term contributor with over 17,000 edits at least as much respect? <small><span style="padding:2px;border:1px solid #000000">] {{!}} ]</span></small> 20:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC) |

:::The revert was not questionable, but simply completely inappropriate. Biting newcomers is unacceptable. Again, I think I explained it quite elaborately above why there was no need to contact the user before removing the tool. —] ''•'']''•'' 21:04, 18 December 2008 (UTC) |
