| :I was just leaving you a note saying the same thing!

| ::Seriously, though, what is the deal with that article? It's an obvious orphan, yet I couldn't believe how long the edit warring had gone on when I found it (that was when Reaper protected it).

| :::Fluffernutter, I missed that, and I have thought hard about your request, particularly as the item is unsourced, but decided not to because (a) having protected and cited ], I don't want to seem to be adjusting the content, and (b) without that, it really is a bit of a hagiography. I posted at ], and other people are taking an interest, and I have invited the edit-warriors to come to the talk page, so I will probably unprotect tomorrow and start blocking if edit-warring resumes. | |||

| Hello, Fluffernutter. While I've been a long-time user and contributor, when it comes to reporting / dealing with vandalism, I'm sorta' in the dark. I noticed you and a few other users have been reverting edits to this page. You last warned the anonymous user ] yesterday about vandalism to the page. It seems this user made more erroneous and vandalous edits today. I think I've reverted them properly, but I'm not sure what to do next. Your warning seemed to indicate the IP would be potentially blocked for the short term. However, I'm not sure how to proceed at this point. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. ] (]) 18:45, 1 February 2012 (UTC) | |||

| :Hi! It looks like you fixed most of what they did - I made one more small fix, but other than that, you got it all. I've blocked the IP for 48 hours for continuing to vandalise. In general, if someone is vandalising despite warnings, you should report them to ] - the admins there handle blocking, etc in response to vandalism. If you want to do some reading-up on how you can help handle vandalism, ] gives a good overview of what processes we have outlined for how to deal with it. Thanks for your help! ] (]) 19:01, 1 February 2012 (UTC) | |||

| ::Thanks for the quick response. I'll definitely be sure to follow up by reading the suggested material. I always feel uncomfortable dealing with vandalism and striking a compromise when it comes to disputes of wiki material. But it's a reality of this site, I suppose. Thanks again. ] (]) 20:13, 1 February 2012 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Fluff - I'm sorry to bug you about something related to this whole mess again, but the recent behavior of ] has been problematic, and I would appreciate it if you, as an uninvolved administrator, could review it.

Notes at the Requests page
Hi Fluffernutter, just a note about the GOCE Requests page. As you may know, that page is regularly archived by a bot, which removes the request about 24 hours after someone posts {{Done}} followed by a sig and a timestamp there. Any notes you leave for requesters or project coordinators will be removed as well. For that reason, it's usually best to leave notes for requesters on their talk pages, and notes for coordinators and the wider copy-editing community on the Requests page talk (REQ Talk), where discussions can continue uninterrupted. Some of us usually copy them over to REQ talk for future reference. Thanks for your work and understanding. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 10:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC).
