Queens College, City University of New York

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)

Enigmaman, why did you delete "Queens College" redirects here. For other uses, see Queen's College (Disambiguation). from Queens College, City University of New York? I have added that line twice and it has been removed twice, and I'd like some sort of reasoning behind the removal. I think that it is necessary because "Queens College" can mean so many things but it redirects there without referencing all the other meanings. The disambiguation page referred to here doesn't just talk about colleges spelled "Queen's" but also those spelled "Queens." Awbeal (talk) 13:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

You say "There is no other major institution called Queens College." Who decides what is a major institution? And I think the existence of the Queen's College Disambiguation page proves that there are other well-known institutions of a similar name. Awbeal (talk) 19:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

There are places called Queen's College, yes. There's a difference between Queen's College and Queens College, and that is why it is unnecessary.

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. (If abuse continues, anonymous editing from the address may be blocked for a longer time, even for several months, and a complaint to the staff may also be made.) - Mike Rosoft 22:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Ping

Hey, Enigmaman! Sorry for the late reply. I've responded on my talk page.  :) Cheers, Iamunknown 05:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Just noticed your other message

Enigmaman, I'm really sorry I've been so late in responding. With regards to your other message on my talk page (I somehow missed it...), you can report IP addresses and usernames at Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism (WP:AIV for short). That page can be kind of confusing, but just click the bottom-most "" button, and type your report like

*{{Anonlinks|127.0.0.1}} - Repeated vandalism on ] after final warning --~~~~

for IP address, or

*{{Userlinks|Example}} - Repeated vandalism on ] after final warning --~~~~

for usernames. Hope this helps.  :-) Feel free to ask other questions. I'll try to offer a more prompt response this time.  :-) Cheers, Iamunknown 05:36, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
