Vandal patrol

Hi, I'm Elara, and I'm vandalism patrol with you today. Varmits are active , ain't they? --Elar a girl^Talk|Count 17:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

blanking user talk page

I reported this problem to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ Somebody has been using a series of IP addresses to systematically blank user talk pages--he hit mine User talk:Rjensen a number of times as well as User talk:Hlj User talk:Kablammo and User talk:Luna Santin and probably others

What the targets all have in common is we strongly protested Stevewk who tried repeatedly to remove all the information about the Civil War from the Abraham Lincoln article. Stevewk was given a 3R suspension but may be using sockpuppets to hit editors. Thus he may be using 70.110.174.121 151.197.233.65 70.110.155.238 70.110.174.121 etc. Rjensen 23:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Autism

Hello New England Yankee From your interaction with the Autism article in the recent past I infer you wish to see that it complies with Wikipedia’s guidelines as do I.

I am writing to you about an edit to the introduction section of Autism made by Q0 (whom I believe to be a valuable contributor) and I have no wish to get into a edit war with that person). In my opinion, the altered text presents problems (see my rationale in the discussion section on the 'Introduction').

If you have time and you are interested, take a look and give us some objective feedback. Ta. Malangthon 03:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching my mistake

Thanks so much for catching the final bit of vandalism that I missed on the Tractor article. Vandal fighting is not my specialty, but I want to get a little taste of everything there is to do here. I'll check the page history more thoroughly in the future. Thanks again, -- Satori Son 15:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, caught your words on this vandals account. Simply LOVE your user page ! Superb ! Please feel free to comment on my similar opinions (though perhaps less tastefully done as you) at my page! Pedro1999a | Talk 20:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Panama Canal

Thanks! I went back and sent warnings to all of the remaining "red" talk pages when you'd finally slowed them down. Until next time...

Take care,

Georgia (U.S. state) article

I just wanted to drop a line to thank you for reverting the vandalism on the Georgia article page. I tried myself to fix the vandalism, but every time there'd be more. Thanks! Reb 20:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful

Please be more careful when reverting. You reverted over three legitimate edits on the Haley, which I have restored.[1] –Gunslinger47 18:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies; thanks for catching this. NewEnglandYankee 18:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's no problem. Thanks for reverting the vandalism that you did! :) –Gunslinger47 18:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baseball fan?

You name is mysterious when it comes to a certain rivalry involving your area. BuickCenturyDriver 02:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Sorry for the bad edit summary, it was origially was under the header of a removed attack left by an unregistered (and upset) user. I usually leave a new comment by editing the last comment and posting a new one at the bottom.BuickCenturyDriver 02:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try clicking the plus (+) tab at the top of the page to add a new conversation thread. It produces less confusing edit summaries and doesn't ever result in edit conflicts. –Gunslinger47 07:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am a baseball fan, as it happens ... a faithful Red Sox fan, from a tender age. The username is a cultural identifier, not a sportive one. I prepended "NewEngland," in fact, so that the Yankee monicker wouldn't be taken as referring to That Other Team. NewEnglandYankee 15:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm...I see. Just imagine if someone chose User:NewYorkSox as the opposite of your name. BuickCenturyDriver 21:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for giving 66.91.112.18 that bit of information (diff)! He also vandalized my talkpage, but I think that with that last level warning, he should calm down. Thank, though!! - Hairchrm 05:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I "vandalized" nothing. Just writing random things on your page just like you did to mine. Where are these accusations based from? Do you even look into it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.112.18 (talk • contribs)

Wow!

You must edit way too many articles... I recogized your name in the history section of two entirely unrelated articles. :-)

Pesistent vandalism

Hi, I noticed your previous warnings to User 81.145.240.23 for vandalism whilst checking out his/her "contributions" just now. Today's targets were Llandudno and Talk:Great Orme. Seems to be a school student judging by the comment on the Llandudno page and the generally silly nature of the vandalism. However it IS annoying and persistent; a random check shows nothing but this sort of nonsense vandalism as User:81.145.240.23's contributions to date. I'm an admin on cy:wikipedia (different name) but am "powerless" here. Could you have another look and consider appropriate action, please? Enaidmawr 00:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Hard coding: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Jauerback (talk) 20:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hello NewEnglandYankee, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 19:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brooklyn Dodgers

Hi, NewEnglandYankee!

I've followed your work for a while and admire your outlook on life, hence why i have decided to come to you to pick your brain on something.

a short while back you made a minor contribution to the Brooklyn Dodgers article and so i assume you may have an opinion on the matter.

It concerns the 23 Feb edit of the article. Now, i have to say, i can't argue with what the user says on current wikipedia practice. However, i have for a while now been thinking about the whole franchise situation and that teams like the Minnessota Lakers or the Dodgers, which were very big teams even before their move to their current homes, deserve their own albeit brief articles, simply to highlight their achievements in their original homes - especially due to the fact that a) they were characteristically very different teams, and b) the articles for LA Lakers and LA Dodgers simply don't reflect the brief and concise info that, for example, the Brooklyn Dodgers article did at your last edit a few days ago

This point has been much discussed in the Talk:Los Angeles Dodgers article, i know, but i'd like someone else's opinion before i raise the issue again there and, more importantly, at the Sports Portal.

Thanks, and looking forward to your reply! BigSteve (talk) 17:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for finally trying to put a stop to this pyscho. If you look at the history for the article, I've had to undo him (as well as other people) a ridiculous number of times. I've left msg's on the talk pages of "Goodman" and "Strong" and to still no avail. Thanks again. jlcoving (talk) 01:46, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User "71.106.7.188" again vandalized the page. "Strong01" also continues to do so. Will you please admonish them? Strong01 went so far as to delete the ENTIRE page earlier. Thankfully "Cluebot" immediately corrected it. jlcoving (talk) 21:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly note regarding talk page messages

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:117.104.180.91, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or shared IP header templates (for unregistered editors). However, it should be noted that these exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 00:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 00:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. The Spanish article doesn't mention the famous Mexican subway planner, and when you check the web you get some teenager with a Facebook account.

Censorship

Thanks

Thanks for spotting what was clearly an error on my part and reverting it, here. I vaguely remember that, but don't recall the specifics which led up to it. I couldn't have been that badly confused, so I'm guessing that it was some sort of a mis-click. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 06:01, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles 05:25, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
