| Hi Mathew, I just wanted to say that you should use the ] when you are warning vandals. It's usually more systematic and the language has been hashed out forever.

If you catch someone else doing the kind of stuff, post it to AIV again (the rule is sort of let's tell him a few times to knock it off and if he doesn't, then block). -- ] (]) 02:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC) | Hi Mathew, I just wanted to say that you should use the ] when you are warning vandals.

First archive
Greetings, fellow Wikipedian, I took the liberty of setting up an archive of your old talk which most people do every couple of months or so. Of course, one of the beauties of this place is that, if you don't like what I've done, you can feel free to revert it or to change it around as you wish. There are also bots that can help with your archiving if you choose to use one of them. I hope this helps. Cheers. — Rgoodermote 19:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism and blocking users
You can report people yourself, y'know. Just go to WP:AIV and follow the instructions. I'm going to report this Stunticons IP again, dunno what on Earth it's playing at. Chris Cunningham 09:15, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Rank
I'd rather not rehash the whole non-notability and insignificance of rank in the Transformers infobox. It is insignificant, trivial information. Note that User:The Matrix Prime has a history of disruptive editing and ignoring policy/guidelines; his assertion that it belongs is not substantiated by policy. --EEMeltonIV 01:18, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Warnings for vandalism
Hi Mathew, I just wanted to say that you should use the warning templates when you are warning vandals. It's usually more systematic and the language has been hashed out forever. For User:170.215.130.65, I declined to block because he seemed to have stopped after you warned (good job!) and policy is that blocks are for prevention, not punishment. If you catch someone else doing the kind of stuff, post it to AIV again (the rule is sort of let's tell him a few times to knock it off and if he doesn't, then block). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Boxart images
I see you've once again been uploading boxart and other copyrighted images. Can you point me toward the talk-page discussion or IFD discussion where a consensus was reached to permit these images? If not, why are you uploading material that has previously been deleted as in violation of Misplaced Pages's fair-use policy? --EEMeltonIV 03:02, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
