Adoption

Would you like to be adopted? Let me know which areas interest you here on WP and I might be able to help! A message on my Talk page is the best way to contact me. I am on UK time (GMT+0), if that is an issue. (aeropagitica) 22:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption: Sounds good. I've been working on some random articles...I'll try to narrow an interest list at some point but for now I've been checking the recent changes area. SERSeanCrane 23:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Great! Let me know if you have any questions about editing or participating in Misplaced Pages. There are many ways of contributing to this project and perhaps I can assist you in finding something that meets your needs and plays to your strengths as a researcher? Please don't feel afraid to ask a question. I'll do my best to find an answer for you. Half the fun of adopting people is discovering new information for myself with questions that I have not yet thought about asking! Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Dealing With A Vandal

I'm dealing with a vandal from the Arizona Diamondbacks that's pretty relentless. I've warned and now reported the individual but the page is still being vandalized. I have no problem reverting it myself but just for reference, is there somewhere we can request anti-vandal editors for a page? SERSeanCrane 23:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, if you are dealing with a vandal and you have warned them up to {{test4}} without getting them to stop you can report them for administrator intervention. This allows an admin to assess the situation on the page and possibly block the editor if they persist. For IP editors use the code {{IPvandal|<IPaddress>}} and for logged-in editors use {{Vandal|<vandalname>}}. (aeropagitica) 23:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

But in the mean time is there somewhere one can go to have a page watched by a task force or something along those lines? SERSeanCrane 23:54, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: I looked into the issue a some more and you are correct that the editor is causing problems. I wasn't aware that the Diamondbacks changed their color and logo. Looks like the fan is very unhappy about the change. I would block him, but another admin issued him a "final warning" a few minutes ago and he has not done any edits since then. -- Gogo Dodo 00:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: I reverted him again and temporarily blocked him. -- Gogo Dodo 19:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
