I somehow missed your last note on my talk page, Enigmaman, so I just removed the warning here now. Good to see you again, I'm glad that the questionable editing at Queens College, City University of New York has died down. I'll keep the page on my watchlist, let me know if you need any help. Cheers, Iamunknown 13:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Reporting vandals

Try the administrators' noticeboard; to report the users, use the template {{vandal|username}} (replace "username" with an actual name or IP of the vandal). Regards, Mike Rosoft 21:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

  • In general, we don't block for the first act of vandalism (unless the edit makes it obvious that we are dealing with a vandalism-only account). In the cases you have reported, a message on the user's talk page would have been enough; see this page for useful templates. Regards, Mike Rosoft 21:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • You mean the IP address, 149.4.115.5 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)? It's a school IP, shared by many people, so there's little point in blocking it today for something that has been done yesterday by somebody else than who is sitting at the computer right now.
