Apologies for the confusion, I accidentally reverted my own vandalism removing edit... --OfTheGreen (talk) 23:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

No problem, I've reverted the wrong edit a few times too. Dan653 (talk) 23:27, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Counter-Vandalism Unit in the Signpost

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on the Counter-Vandalism Unit for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so,here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:53, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

CVUA Instructor

Oh, it works that way? I'll add myself to the list. Thanks! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Dan653 (talk) 00:25, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed that Jamison Lofthouse is having some trouble with STiki, which I am proficient with. However (we share the same concern because we are both high school students), I have Regents and Finals rapidly approaching. I would like to help him out, but should I train him if I can only make a full commitment starting June 15th (when my last Regent is)? Thank You!Electriccatfish2 (talk) 01:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I would say yes, but I contacted Tarheel yesterday and he says his finals are over by the 8^th, so thanks, but it's covered.Dan653 (talk) 01:27, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

TruPepitoM CVUA

Hi! I approved TruPepitoM to the academy because he meets all of the required criteria listed on the CVUA page. Theopolisme wants to be his instructor, and this will be his first student. By the way, I recently dealt with a user named lottery111 (talk · contribs), who I got blocked by reporting him to ANI. This user is unique because if you revert his vandalism and send him a warning, he gives you a level 4 warning for making test edits, which is titled "Vandalism Warning". This user is thankfully blocked indefinitely, and other users had have also expressed complaints about him. Cheers! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Okay. Okay, if it's only vandalism (unlike this guy, who seemed to have a sockpuppet) just report it to WP:AIV.Dan653 (talk)

RunningonBrains (who's an Admin) said that it's a sockpuppet, but that's highly unlikely because his alleged sockpuppet vandalized lottery111's talk page and lottery111 sent one of his "Vandalism Warnings" to the alleged sockpuppet. Thanks!Electriccatfish2 (talk) 19:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Of course he did, what better way to look like it's not him then by vandalizing his own page. Dan653 (talk) 20:22, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Nice idea, I never thought of that! The sockpuppet also made some rather stupid comments in all capital letters on lottery111's talk page, but never the less, they're both blocked. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 20:25, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Your Bot

I attempt to contribute a lot of information to an article on Ancient Hawaii and your bot seems to think it's malicious activity. Whether it was removing spurious information, poor grammar, or actually adding useful information, it was all removed. Do you think you can turn it down a notch? 66.8.201.128 (talk) 23:11, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Removing a section without an edit summary is vandalism. See User:Mike Rosoft if you had a problem with his edits.Dan653 (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. According to your bots message the edit that triggered the event was adding a few sentences at the end of a paragraph and requesting citations for broad claims which did not appear to be scientific and influenced by emotional appeal. Disagree or not therefore every edit I ever made from this IP was reverted? Seems quite extreme to me.66.8.201.128 (talk) 06:40, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

And Adoil Descend

Hi! I gave this user a template to join the CVUA after his RfR failed. I approved him because he has 293 edits (most to AFD's), but is a few days short of being a Wikipedian for 2 months. Who will take him up? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 01:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

You seem to be on the whole day and very impatient, just relax and someone will take him. Dan653 (talk) 01:38, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

No, I was not on the whole day yesterday, I took a few minute break to edit a little bit after studying for Finals and Regents each hour. Maybe I acted a little impatiently, so thanks for telling me and I will try to avoid this happening in the future. As for And Adoil Descend, it turns out that his account is less than a month old, so I gave him an

I see you gave him a

. He seems very involved in Wikipedia, plus you and Achowat founded the CVUA, so that's your discretion. Regards! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

I know I talked to the supreme leader, Achowat ;) and he said he seems good, and I am working on getting him an instructor.Dan653 (talk) 21:32, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Great! Good luck on your Finals! ...Back to studying! Electriccatfish2 (talk) 22:02, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

Scott

Saw that you sneakily commented in the code on the Enroll page not to remove Scott -this still the case? Or, since, Chip took him on, can we vaporize his existence (at least on that page)? :DTheopolisme _TALK 07:40, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

I would like to leave it, see the links on Achowat's talk I left him about Scott, but I have moved him to inactive requests.Dan653 (talk) 20:59, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Scott Delaney

There is a discussion at WP:AN regarding Scott, and since you have shown an interest in him you might be interested, and possibly offer a different perspective on the issue. Dennis Brown -2¢ © 11:26, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
