talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 14:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply

Hi, I have been responding to your reports to AIV. While all help is appreciated, it is more beneficial if you were able to follow the processes properly when submitting reports. I note that you use the {{Userlinks|account name}} template instead of the more usual {{IPvandal|numbers}}/{{vandal|account name}} and do not sign your reports by typing four tildes at the end of the message. Of more concern, however, is that you are reporting vandalism where there has been no edits since the last warning or there have been no warnings at all - in some cases where there has only been the one (vandal) edit. It is usual for a editor to be warned, so they know that there may be a block if they continue, before a report is made. While your enthusiasm is great, it would be better if it was tempered by better application of the rules. Cheers, LessHeard vanU (talk) 14:36, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
sorry for the trouble, I have found a great way to warn users —

TWWP is spot-on. For a quick reference, all the warning templates you'll ever need (and then some) are available at

Great start! A tool you may like is

popups. It opens a popup window when you place your mouse over a diff (such as at Special:RecentChanges) or prev, so that you don't have to open a new page to see if an edit was vandalism or not. THEN WHO WAS PHONE? (talk) 10:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply

yeaah that's a nice script; I also installed "Twinkle" and "Friendly" from the monobook page :D

Glad to see you're finding some good tools! I will, however, give you the obligatory caveat: while Twinkle and Friendly make it easy to perform mass edits, you also have to remember to be very careful when using them. A couple days ago a guy using Twinkle accidentally send hundreds of messages accusing well-established editors (including administrators) of being

About those exothermic editors writing "WP is not censored" in the Pope article that you mentioned in ANI, try to work with everyone in a calm and cooperative manner. Sometimes, I look at edit summaries and start to use similar language as I just saw. It's the power of suggestion. Some editors can be quite crude. Never sink to that level. Work in the most distinguished and respectable manner possible. Good luck! Chergles (talk) 17:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No I'm not involved in editing that article at all. I just saw these edits at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges so I reported it. You are right about discussing it calmly with them, but all brand new editors signing up for an account and jumping in one by one on the same article to add the same problamatic content does raises suspicion of sock puppetry. My intention in quoting the edit summary they were using was to point towards the possible sockpuppetry there, nothing else. Rootology says he has blocked all the new accounts—

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roomarang, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
