• Apologies for that. I was reverting a vandal edit in this page (Content replaced by swears). I have no idea what went wrong with this rollback, as the history of the page shows no vandalisation that i could have reverted. I guess i reverted an incorrect page here.

No problem then, happy editing. --Kubanczyk 07:16, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Recent change

What an idiot -rolls eyes- what kind of person vandalizes a page less than 5 minutes after they have been warned about it lmao - was about to warn him/her but I guess you get there first =)Kenjoshii 10:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC) mann I sure need a break from welcoming

• Absolutely true, but the numbers that do surprise me. Since this morning i have send out about 300 warnings, and asked for about 20 user bans, of which all seem to be granted. I guess some people simply dont get the concept of "Intelligence" :)

Barnstar

Thank you very much! Hut 8.5 11:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		For patrolling the 'pedia and cutting out the crap. James086 13:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a small point, it's not even important really, but on Misplaced Pages there's a difference between blocking and banning. Blocking is prevention of editing, like with vandals while banning is more serious, it means that the user is not welcome at all (they are usually blocked as well). Their edits are usually characteristic (they are interested in a particular topic) and they are persitently disruptive. Nonetheless, you have definitely earned a barnstar for your anti-vandalism. Keep it up! James086 13:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• I have been patrolling for just two days, so im really honoured by already receiving this award. I understood the difference between "Banning" and "Blocking" alreay, buy i generally confuse the terms when writing them down. I tend to use "Banning" when refering to infinite blocks for users, and "Blocking" for everything else. Still, thanks for the clarification of the terms, and again a huge thanks for the barnstar, which will make its way to my user page at once :)

I also find it easier to reply on other's talk pages but I'm flexible. Hah! You've made more edits in these past 2 days than my first few months! See you round, James086 13:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Anti vandalism

Have you looked into WP:TWINKLE? I think you'd find it very useful. --Dweller 13:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks a lot for the advice. Currently i am using Lupin, but its always worthwhile to have a look at the other tools theere are to stop the vandals around here. I will have a look at it as soon as i get home from my job :) --Excirial 13:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Aclaration

Escuse me, i did not vandalize the wikipediholism test, i only make an edit that the test itsel present as part of a question; i do not demand an apology or something i simply do not like to be called a vandal. Good day. Zidane tribal

Thanks

For reverting my userpage. Best, --Bfigura 17:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• It was my pleasure. i love rolling back vandals :) --Excirial 17:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Excirial,

Check you bot please. It just tagged me for Vandalism. For the record, I removed vandalism in that article, and in fact, just now tagged it for deletion as there's nothing in there but a bunch of attack pages, one right after the other. I just removed your message on my usersite. Thanks ! KoshVorlon ".. We are ALL Kosh..." 18:07, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Well, looks like that article was just plain nonsense. The origional longer article was just one big attack, and the edit that almost cleared the page was of the same caliber. Guess we just ended up ping-pong reverting the two vandalism articles. I marked it for deletion now should be removed shortly :) --Excirial 18:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
• I left a reply on your own talk page. Besides, im not a bot, im manually operated :) --Excirial 18:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Your reversion of my reversion to Black-footed Ferret

Excuse me? Coolipop says they eat tigers, and I'm wrong to revert such nonsense? Philip Trueman 18:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Your revert got a previously vandalized line back in, saying "David is gay". Im currently reverting at high speed, so that line was enough to call it a vandalism for me :) --Excirial 19:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah! OK, fair enough. I'd be grateful if you'd read WP:DTTR though. It's only an essay, not policy, but all the same ... Philip Trueman 19:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Template:Familytree/doc

Eh? What's your point with this revert? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

• Bah, looks like i didn't cancel that one in time after all. I was reverting a different page at that time, and hit the wrong rollback button in Lupin, causing a wrong page to re-roll. I expected that i canceled this edit in time, but seems i have been mistaken. Sorry for the inconvenience! --Excirial 20:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Fatah al Islam is not resistance

I am not sure if you are aware, but comparing a hippie to weirdo is not similar to calling Fatah al Islam resistance. Fatah al Islam is an Al Qaida inspired organization which targeted and murdered hundreds of Lebanese civilians. Can you explain to me how you consider this resistance, and can you explain why the US State Dept. has added them to their terror list and why they are all either dead or in prison awaiting trial in Lebanon right now for their involvement in terrorism?

Please look at Fatah al-Islam The United States Department of State classified the group as a terrorist organization on August 9, 2007

The opinion of the united states is not an absolute truth opinion. Many countries in the middle east will see Fatah Al Islam as a resistance group. If you seriously want to use the word terrorist, at least keep a neutral point of view by adding a reference. You could also think about changing the line to something that denoted that there is a specific group claiming that the group is terrorist. Dont get me wrong, i personally agree with you, but opinions don't matter on encyclopaedic content. --Excirial 06:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Lark Street

Hi, Excirial! Thanks for watching out for vandalism! I added Category:Gay villages to Lark Street specifically because it is a gay village. Take a look at the article and see if you don't agree. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 06:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
