Allmightyduck  What did I do wrong? 18:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Hey, and thanks for eating the cookie! :) Wayne Olajuwon chat 18:24, 11 October 2010 (UTC) 20th Century Fox Television Page was a multiple copydrop (someone copy-pasted the pagetext multiple times to make it huge); I've reverted back to 'clean' version. HalfShadow 22:37, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Oh, okay, but did that user get warned? Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:39, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Just did now; I'm doing about four things here. It's a random IP and from yesterday, so it may or may not even matter. HalfShadow 22:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC) It may or may not matter that it's a random IP that you warned. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC) The IP's only edits were this. Some IPs tend to be hit and runs: they post once and that's it. Should warn them anyway, just to say you have, but a fair number of them poke us with a stick and then leave. HalfShadow 22:56, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Those IPs want to vandalize and then leave so they won't be blocked. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:58, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks! The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar Thanks, here is one for you too since you are always fighting vandalism when I see you on. iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 23:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC) Thanks! Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:49, 11 October 2010 (UTC) IP & user FYI: User:71.84.42.198 is User:CandaceFrazee who has logged out after being warned and evading. Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 00:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC) He should be reported as a sock puppet. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC)  Done..Cheers, ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► ((⊕)) 00:58, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Cheers, too.

We normally don't block people unless they've gotten multiple warnings and are still misbehaving. Me make some exceptions; these include sockpuppets, especially atrocious behaviour, etc. but I don't think that fits this case. I think maybe he's just new around here. If you warn this editor multiple times and there's still a problem, let us know. Thanks for watching over our articles. --A. B. (talk • contribs) 21:11, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Okay, and your welcome. Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:13, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Talkback Hello, Wayne Slam. You have new messages at IGeMiNix's talk page. Message added 23:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Thanks and no problem iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 23:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Your welcome. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC) I gotta say, that last IP vandal on your talk page was pretty funny.--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 23:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC) Yeah, it was. Wayne Olajuwon chat 23:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC) TJ Corbs Wayne, You should know that TJ Corbs is a blogger that is attempting to use Wikipedia for his own personal gain. First, it is unknown if Mr. Corbs actually exists. However if you were to review his blog posts on Bleacher Report you can see in the comments section that it is clear that Mr. Corbs posts under various aliases (on various university sport/fan websites). He antagonizes the fans of these institutions and attempts to build his readership by linking his articles all over their boards. Several fan message boards have banned him (including Kentucky and Ohio State, just this week). He should be removed from Wiki as this is not a news item, and his blog is not something that should be promoted. Given the incendiary nature of his comments towards universities, athletic programs and fan bases that he is not fond of. 67.173.109.112 (talk) 20:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC) You didn't explain why you removed it in your edit summary. Feel free to redo that edit, but please put an edit summary. Wayne Olajuwon chat 20:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC) WHAT I didn't vandalize a page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.165.186 (talk) 22:38, 13 October 2010 (UTC) Hi Wayne, I was just wondering how to use the sandbox feature? anne —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydneyeditor (talk • contribs) 00:10, 14 October 2010 (UTC) You go to WP:Sandbox and click edit on the top of the page, and then test your edit. Wayne Olajuwon chat 00:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Talkback Hello, Wayne Slam. You have new messages at IGeMiNix's talk page. Message added 21:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Seems like it. iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 21:56, 14 October 2010 (UTC) I replied on your talk page. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:00, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Yep, MaterialScientist says it is.--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 22:18, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Yeah, I know. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:20, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Anon User 62.133.12.2 Hi. You issued a final warning to 62.133.12.2 on 4 October, following previous vandalism warnings issued by yourself and others. However, on review of this user's edits, I think there are mitigating circumstances which would perhaps make that final warning unjustified. I have summarised what appears to have happened on the user's talk page and taken the liberty of giving him a partial apology, as I believe that he was being constructive (indeed, reverting vandalism by a subsequently-identified sockpuppet, Professor Fairness) at first, but his efforts were mistaken for vandalism and his own vandalism (which was minor in comparison to that committed by the sockpuppet) was probably done out of frustration. I haven't removed the warning messages however as I'm not sure what the protocol is for that. DavidWard talk 21:57, 14 October 2010 (UTC) So does the final warning mean anything then, if its unjustified? Wayne Olajuwon chat 21:59, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Well a final warning would trigger an auto report if another edit is reverted. Even though the user has done good faith edits, his edit summaries or the lack of them makes it easy for somebody to mistake it for vandalism.--iGeMiNix/What's up?/My Stuff 22:08, 14 October 2010 (UTC) He needs to put better edit summaries, so nobody will call it vandalism. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:09, 14 October 2010 (UTC) I agree with IGeMiNix and feel that its a bit unfair to leave the final warning on his/her talk page in these circumstances, where (in the event of future legitimate edits being mistaken for vandalism, as happened before) it might lead to him being blocked without further discussion. And I have given him advice about his edit summaries. DavidWard talk 22:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC) I saw your message on his talk page having to do with his edits. Wayne Olajuwon chat 22:13, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Can I suggest that this might be an occasion to not bite the newbies and give him a second chance by removing the final warning? As you put it there, I guess it needs to be you who removes it. Thanks. DavidWard talk 22:19, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Are you enjoying my editings? I am enjoying this.
