: Well, for starters, the best way to fix vandalism is not to edit the page but simply to "revert": see ]. If you look at the history of a frequently vandalized page like ], you see that it's full of reverts (usually marked as "rv" or "rvv" for "reverted vandalism" in the edit histories). that way you're just returning the page to the previous state. You can leave a message on a Talk page for someone with an IP address, and they'll still get it. For example, I left a message using the <nowiki>{{test4-n}}</nowiki> template on ] when they vandalized ]. Of course, you don't have the power to block people, but stern warnings often work. Poke around frequently vandalized pages, check out the edit histories and diffs and see how other do it, and of course check out ]. thanks for helping! ] ] 19:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I asked because your usage pattern seemed to be time-based somehow.

OK. You are not generating a script, and you somehow placed your antivandalism message on my page inadvertently. But for your information I had also just reverted a vandal. Did you mean to direct your message to:
# 19:16, 14 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Talk:Main Page
# 19:08, 14 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Talk:Main Page
# 19:07, 14 March 2006 (hist) (diff) Talk:Main Page
The one who vandalized the Main Page Talk at these times? 19:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry, i am not sure if it is the same person; if i can check, I will get back to you.

The reason they are all similar time frame is becuase I am using the RC Patrol's "Lupin" Checker, an excellent anti-swearing tool that scans ALL recent changes against a hugh banned words list and shows them to members of the RC Patrol to edit. The list of recent changes that match the banned language list is displayed, with quicklinks to the vandaliser's talk page, and an auto-warning option to immediately send. If you are in the RC Patrol, you should consider it: http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Lupin/Anti-vandal_tool

Once again, I am sorry i cannot identify if the vandaliser i warned is the same on your talk page. I will get back to you as soon as i know.

Thanks

Dear "Mac OS X"

Please do not stop contributing to Misplaced Pages, however your addition was incorrect. Please do not take offense, but simply consider additions more carefully.

It is possibly someone is using your account, or there is a bug under your name.

Thank You

Could I get a description of how an addition was incorrect instead of a message simply informing me that everything I'm doing is vandalism? I haven't noticed any of my contributions being reversed.

== Please take a little more time learning ==

Anthony cfc,

You really should not police others until you understand policy. When you contact the next alleged offender, please cite a link to the policy to them so that we can check that you are enforcing an appropriate item. I recommend that you start reading by reading ]. If you enjoy RC Patrol, then by all means, stay there, but you mustn't drive people away by incorrectly stating Misplaced Pages policy.

True, there is a lot to learn. But practice on your own turf first, before you start to drive away editors. --] 20:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello, stranger!

Hi, Arcticocean,

No, nope, nah, nyet, it's not going to work. Go back to your former name! You know us long-time editors don't adapt well to changes, especially small ones.

Any way, in case you have indeed transitioned to a new identity, I hope I'll run into you on this project in the future (in a positive way, I mean). Just spend some time working on some subject that brings a smile to your face. And stay away from noticeboards. Take care, Liz 06:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
