Hello, welcome to your Counter Vandalism Unit Academy page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your academy page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). If you have any general queries about anti-vandalism (or anything else), you are more than welcome to raise them with me at User talk:Cassiopeia/CVUA/EN-Jungwon.

Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Vandalism as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.

How to use this page

This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide

diffs
to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.

Once you graduate I will copy this page into your userspace so you have a record of your training and a reference for the future.

Good faith and vandalism

When patrolling for vandalism, you may often come across edits which are unhelpful, but not vandalism - these are good faith edits. It is important to recognise the difference between a vandalism edit and a good faith edit, especially because Twinkle gives you the option of labelling edits you revert as such. Please read

WP:NOT VANDALISM
before completing the following tasks.

Please explain below the difference between a good faith edit and a vandalism edit, and how you would tell them apart.

Good faith edit: Good faith edit is when a new or unexperienced editor makes an unconstructive edit or makes a mistake while editing likely due to the lack of understanding of how the Wikipedia works. Disruptive editing can also be considered as good faith edits especially if it's a new editor who is not aware that their edits are considered disruptive.

Vandalism: Vandalism is when an editor intentionally edits an article in a malicious way with the intention of harming Wikipedia. While there are edits that can be considered as vandalism, it's important to try and assess the editor's intention of making an edit.

checkY.
talk
) 07:45, 5 November 2020 (UTC)


How do you tell them apart: Differences to look out for is that if the edit is obviously a attempt to help then it is very likely a good faith edit. However if the edit is obviously harmful or is attacking someone. For instance if someone edited a biography of someone and wrote a bunch of curse words all over it then that would be vandalism. Additionally, I will consult

WP:VANDALISM
for guidance on what commonly is and isn't vandalism to get a frame of reference of what is commonly accepted on Wikipedia and I would check to see if the editor has a history of being warned about their vandalism. I would do my best to assume good faith, and only decide that the edit is vandalism when there is little doubt that an editor was not acting in good faith.

checkY I like your thought of checking editor contribution log and talk page log to gain a better understanding of the editor past behavior. The key here is intention. As long as a user intends to help Wikipedia, but the edits are might be disruptive, they are still considered a "good faith" editor and should be dealt with differently from a vandal. Vandalism is a deliberate attempt to harm Wikipedia. Just because an edit adds incorrect or unsourced information does not necessarily mean a user is a vandal; they key is their intention. A non constructive edit is a little different from disruptive. A disruptive edit could be adding info without source (place unsourced warning message on editor's talk page), bold phrases which not adhere to MOS:BOLD guidelines and etc. However, non-constructive would have the indication (not always though) of doing something once should not do. Looking into the editors' contribution log history is a good way to find out.

Please find three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. You don't need to revert the example you find, and I am happy for you to use previous undos in your edit history if you wish.
Good faith

Answer:

  1. 1 Some newcomers may not be able to understand all the rules on Wikipedia or how the Wikipedia article works when they first begin editing. Hence, they may make editing mistakes that may violate any rules on Wikipedia. In this example I had added information about this group without knowing that the group does not meet Wikipedia Notability Guidelines.

Warning and reporting

When you use Twinkle to warn a user, you have a number of options to choose from: you can select the kind of warning (for different offences), and the level of warning (from 1 to 4, for increasing severity). Knowing which warning to issue and what level is very important. Further information can be found at

WP:UWUL
.


Please answer the following questions
(1) Why do we warn users?
  • Answer: To educate users on the Wikipedia policies and guidelines and to educate them by giving feedback. If someone is deliberately vandalizing articles then warning them might discourage them if they realize that they could get blocked for their actions.
checkY. We warn the user is to "educate" the editors on constructive editing, and also to deter to "deter" them from disruptive/vandalism edits with stronger warnings leads up to a block.
talk
) 01:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


(2) When would a 4im warning be appropriate?
  • Answer: A 4im warning is appropriate if a new user (or IP address) is making repeated and egregious vandalism edits. Instead of waiting for them to offend again to further elevate the warnings, this gives them their first and last warning, and clearly states that further vandalism will be reported to the administrators.
checkY.
talk
) 01:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


(3) Should you
substitute
a template when you place it on a user talk page, and how do you do it?
  • Answer: Yes it can be used. It is used by adding subst: before the name of the template inside the two curly brackets
checkY. We should subst a template for it is to ensure that the message on the talk page will not change even if the template is changed.
talk
) 01:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


(4) What should you do if a user who has received a level 4 or 4im warning vandalises again?
  • Answer: If a user vandalizes after receiving 4 or 4im warning, then the user should be reported to WP:AIV.
checkY.
talk
) 01:22, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


(5) Please give examples and please do the substitution (using {{Tlsubst|''name of template''}}) of three different warnings with three different levels (not different levels of the same warning and excluding the test edit warning levels referred to below), that you might need to use while recent changes patrolling and explain what they are used for.

This is used when a user adds content into an article without any citation to back the content that the user up.

  • Answer ii:

{{Tlsubst|''Uw-disruptive2''}}

Information icon Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Article. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

This is used when the user makes changes to the wikipedia article that were distruptive or not useful to the article the first time.

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Article, you may be blocked from editing.

This is used when a user removed content on the wikipedia articles without adequate explaination after reverting the user's editing multiple times for the same reason and explaining to the user.

Tools

Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol#Tools includes a list of tools and resources for those who want to fight vandalism with a more systematic and efficient approach.

What you have been doing so far is named the

old school approach. As well as manually going through Special:RecentChanges
, it includes undos, "last clean version" restores, and manually warning users.

There are a large number of tool which assist users in the fight against vandalism. They range from tools which help filter and detect vandalism to tools which will revert, warn and report users.

Twinkle

WP:SPI
, and other administrative noticeboards.

User creation log

In my early days of fighting vandalism on Wikipedia, one of the strategies I would use to find vandalism was to patrol the account creation log. This is located at Special:Log/newusers, and it logs every time a new user account is created on Wikipedia. You'll notice that new accounts with no contributions so far will have a red "contribs" links, whereas new accounts with some contributions will have blue "contribs" links. One great way not only to find vandalism, but welcome new users to Wikipedia is to check the blue contribs links that come in.

Rollback

See

user right
introduces an easy rollback button (which with one click reverts an editor's contributions). I'll let you know when I think you're ready to apply for the rollback user right.

Huggle

Huggle is also an application you download to your computer which presents you diffs (orders them on the likelihood of being unconstructive edits and on the editor's recent history) from users not on its whitelist. It allows you to revert vandalism, warn and reports users in one click. The rollback permission is required to use Huggle.

Make sure you keep in mind that some edits that seem like vandalism can be test edits. This happens when a new user is experimenting and makes accidental unconstructive edits. Generally, these should be treated with good faith, especially if it is their first time, and warned gently. The following templates are used for test edits: {{subst:uw-test1}}, {{subst:uw-test2}} and {{subst:uw-test3}}.

I just wanted to make sure you know about Special:RecentChanges, if you use the diff link in a different window or tab you can check a number of revisions much more easily. If you enable Hovercards in the Hover section of your preferences, you can view the diff by just hovering over it. Alternately, you can press control-F or command-F and search for "tag:". some edits get tagged for possible vandalism or section blanking.

Find and revert some vandalism. Warn each user appropriately, using the correct kind of warning and level. Please include at least two test edits and at least two appropriate reports to
AIV
. For each revert and warning please fill in a line on the table below
# Type Diff of your revert Your comment - If you report to AIV please include the diff CASS' Comment
Example Unsourced 0 Delete of sourced content without explanation - give {{subst:uw-unsourced1}}

checkY. Test edit is when new editor made an edit to see if they "can actually make an edit" in Wikipedia. The editor is trying to change the info; however, from the their contribution log and info, they are new edit and no sure how to make an edit. Test edit examples: New editors add/change/remove one of the letter in a word or adding "hi/hello" on their first edit and sometimes they self-revert their edit.

Shared IP tagging

There are a number of IP user talk page templates which show helpful information to IP users and those wishing to warn or block them. There is a list of these templates

  • {{Shared IP}} - For general shared IP addresses.
  • {{
    ISP
    organizations.
  • {{Shared IP edu}} - A modified version specifically for use with educational institutions.
  • {{Shared IP gov}} - A modified version specifically for use with government agencies.
  • {{Shared IP corp}} - A modified version specifically for use with businesses.
  • {{Shared IP address (public)}} - A modified version specifically for use with public terminals such as in libraries, etc.
  • {{Mobile IP}} - A modified version specifically for use with a mobile device's IP.
  • {{Dynamic IP}} - A modified version specifically for use with dynamic IPs.
  • {{Static IP}} - A modified version specifically for use with static IPs which may be used by more than one person.

Each of these templates take two parameters, one is the organisation to which the IP address is registered (which can be found out using the links at the bottom of the IP's contribution page. The other is for the host name (which is optional) and can also be found out from the links at the bottom of the IP's contribution page.

Also, given that different people use the IP address, older messages are sometimes refused so as to not confuse the current user of the IP. Generally any messages for the last one-two months are removed, collapsed, or archived. The templates available for this include:

  • {{
    OW
    }}
    for when the messages are deleted from the talk page.
  • {{Old IP warnings top}} and {{Old IP warnings bottom}} for collapsing the user warnings and leaving them on the talk page.
  • {{Warning archive notice}} for when the messages are archived, and that archiving follows the usually naming sequence (that is, /Archive 1).


NOTE: All of the templates in this section are not substituted (so don't use "subst:").

Dealing with difficult users

Harassment and trolling

Occasionally, some vandals will not appreciate your good work and try to
WP:DENY
.
Why do we deny recognition to trolls and vandals?

Answer: Trolls seek attention so by not engaging with them we deny them the recognition they want which would force them to stop.

checkY. Good. The main point/goal of the trolls is that they want attention. We dont feed them and dont get mad by denying them the recognition that they seek is critical to countering them. If we need to answer certain question, do provide the answer in a mechanical manner without addressing the troll. If troll continues, then let the editor know that answer has been provide and not longer reply their message.
talk

How can you tell between a good faith user asking why you reverted their edit, and a troll trying to harass you?

Answer: Good faith editors wont ask about personal information and would likely ask why I reverted their edits or for help with something they dont know. I would also check their talk page to see how the user responds to warnings given by other user.

checkY. At times, to check their contribution log and talk page to see the behaviour of the editor to understand the nature of their edits especially when we could not tell if it is a disruptive edits or just being no knowing how to edits/know the guidelines. Do note sometimes good faith editor do get upset when we reverted their edit and place a warning message and convey their message which might not be pleasant for your standard. Many times troll might not use personal attacks but being rude, condescending, put down, name calling and etc. To check on the editors past edits/talk page would help; however, the bottom line is that trolls want to annoy you and good faith editors annoyed at you and that is the subtle different.

Emergencies

I hope this never happens, but as you participate in counter-vandalism on Wikipedia, it is possible that you may come across a threat of physical harm. In the past, we have had vandals submit death threats in Wikipedia articles, as well as possible suicide notes. The problem is, Wikipedia editors don't have the proper training to evaluate whether these threats are credible in most cases.

Fortunately, there's a guideline for cases like this. Please read Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm carefully and respond to the questions below.

Who should you contact when you encounter a threat of harm on Wikipedia? What details should you include in your message?

Answer: All threats and self harm should be reported to the Wikimedia Foundation at emergencywikimedia.org or go to Special:EmailUser/Emergency. We should include the name of the page where the threat was made, or a diff. In addition to emailing the Wikimedia Foundation we can notify Wikipedia administrators privately using email, IRC, or other low-visibility methods.

  • Using another person's account (piggybacking)
  • Reviving old unused accounts (sometimes referred to as sleepers) and presenting them as different users
  • Persuading friends or colleagues to create accounts for the purpose of supporting one side of a dispute (usually called meatpuppetry)

Protection and speedy deletion

Protecting and deleting pages are two additional measures that can be used to prevent and deal with vandalism. Only an

administrator
can protect or delete pages; however, anyone can nominate a page for deletion or request protection. If you have Twinkle installed, you can use the Twinkle menu to request page protection or speedy deletion (the RPP or CSD options).

Protection

3. In what circumstances should a page be fully protected?

Answer: When page experiences persistent
content dispute
between editors.
checkY. Full protection prevents anyone except administrators from editing the page.. This applies when there is serious disruption that cannot be addressed by using a lower level of protection or blocking the involved users, such as due to large scale edit warring or content disputes, or persistently being vandalized by extended confirmed users.

Speedy deletion

Please read

. Done

1. In what circumstances should a page be speedy deleted, briefly to go through the criteria?

Answer:
G1. Patent nonsense: This applies to pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history.
G2. Test pages: This applies to pages created to test editing or other Wikipedia functions.
G3. Pure vandalism and blatant hoaxes: This applies to pages that are blatant and obvious misinformation, blatant hoaxes and redirects created by cleanup from page-move vandalism.
G4. Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion: This applies to sufficiently identical copies, having any title, of a page deleted via its most recent
deletion discussion
.

Usernames

Wikipedia has a policy which details the types of usernames which users are permitted to have. Some users (including me) patrol the User creation log to check for new users with inappropriate usernames. There are four kinds of usernames that are specifically disallowed:

Please read

Monitoring period

Congratulations! You have completed the main section of the anti-vandalism course. Well done! Now that we've been through everything that you need to know as a vandal patroller, you will be given a 7-day monitoring period. During this time, you are free to revert vandalism (and edit Wikipedia) as you normally do; I will monitor your progress in anti-vandalism. If there are any issues, I will raise them with you and if you have any problems, you are free to ask me. After seven days, if I am satisfied with your progress, you will take the final test; passing this will mean you graduate from the CVUA. Good luck!

If you have any problems or trouble along the way please leave a message on below this section. If you make any difficult decisions feel free to post the diff below and I'll take a look.

Final Exam

GOOD LUCK!

Part 1 (15%)

For each of these examples, please state whether you would call the edit(s) described as vandalism or good faith edit, a reason for that, and how you would deal with the situation (ensuring you answer the questions where applicable).


1 & 2. A user inserts 'sfjiweripw' into an article. What would you do if it was their first warning? What about after that.

Answer 1: Give the user a {{subst:uw-test1}} as it is their first edit.


Answer 2: Give the user a {{

WP:AIV
.


3 & 4. A user adds their signature to an article after one being given a {{Uw-articlesig}} warning. What would you the next time they did it? What about if they kept doing it after that?

Answer 3: {{subst:uw-vandalism1}} as the user has already been warned for adding signatures to articles.



Answer 4: Give the user a {{

WP:AIV
.


5 & 6. A user adds 'John Smith is the best!' into an article. What would you do the first time? What about if they kept doing it after that?

Answer 5: {{subst:uw-npov1}} if the user adds it to an article about John Smith or {{subst:uw-subtle1}} if they add it to other articles.


Answer 6: Increase the level of warning and if the user adds it after getting a final warning then report to

WP:AIV
.


7 & 8. A user adds 'I can edit this' into an article. The first time, and times after that?

Answer 7: As this is their first edit I would give them {{subst:uw-test1}}.


Answer 8: Increase level of warning. If the user keeps adding it to articles then report to

WP:AIV


9, 10 & 11. What would you do when a user removes sourced information from an article, with the summary 'this is wrong'. First time, and after that? What would be different if the user has a history of positive contributions compared with a history of disruptive contributions?


Answer 9: Firstly I would go through the source that was cited for the information and check if it is actually wrong. If the source has no mention of the information removed by the editor then I would not do anything about it. If the source mentions does mention the information that the editor removed then I would give them a {{subst:uw-delete1}}.



Answer 10: Increase the level of warning {{

WP:AIV
.



Answer 11: Even if the user has had a history of positive contributions removing sourced content (without discussion) after final warning would be considered as vandalism.


12. An IP user removes removes unsourced article, what would you do?

Answer 12: Give the user {{subst:uw-delete1}} and increase the warning level if the user keeps blanking the entire page.



13. An IP user removes a sourced content and stated "not relevant", what would you do?

Answer 13: I would go through the reference to see whether it is actually relevant or not. If the source supports the content that was removed then I would revert and give the user {{subst:uw-delete1}}.


14. An IP user adds My parents do not love me. I going to jump out the balcony and kill myself", what would you do?

Answer 14: Immediately email [email protected] and contact an administrator using a low visibility method or email the oversight team to suppress the revision.
