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. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:17, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I just told him I'd hold off reverting for 15 minutes, let's see how this plays out. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 23:07, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, generally IPs are allowed to delete warnings at their user talk pages and according to the protection policy deleting warnings is no legitimate reason for protection. However such edits constitute a reason for protection if repeated. Regards, —αἰτίας •discussion• 23:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Message from User:Annilita

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.

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 New Wave music). Is there anything else I'm unaware of? If not, then I think an unblock would probably be appropriate.

I just noticed he is a sock. Nevermind :) —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 17:33, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle

Thank-you for the advice on my Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions/Rollback to use Misplaced Pages:Twinkle, It's just the sort of tool I was after. Wikipedian2 (talk) 21:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Your input on this request would be greatly appreciated. I commented here. Pedro :  Chat  08:49, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey Pedro. Thanks for the message. I commented on this request here. While I think the user had not enough experience for rollback yesterday, the work he did since then constitutes enough experience for rollback. Therefore I granted the request. Best wishes, —αἰτίας •discussion• 13:59, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Yep, good call. All his recent reversions looked spot on, but as you had declined only yesterday I prefered to leave it back to you on this one! Thank you. Pedro :  Chat  14:12, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Good questions

Those are some pretty revealing questions you asked Undead warrior 3 (talk · contribs). 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. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 18:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

regarding User:Soccersmith3

I've seen and reverted his vandalism (on Nazism), 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. Fdskjs (talk) 19:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

You could have reported the user to Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism, however, leaving a message here was okay as well. :) I blocked the user indefinitely. Regards, —αἰτίας •discussion• 20:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Recent actions

I noticed your removal of rollback from User:ABF for biting, 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 WP:ROLLBACK, 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 use of rollback on a user page 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 WP:BLANKING (a shortcut to a specific portion of WP:USER) 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?  Frank  |  talk  19:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
