  • 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)

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

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)
