X (Kylie Minogue album)

Why do you not consider The Times a reliable third party source? Also, the article cited specifically states one million copies "sold" worldwide, not "shipped". 86.1.249.35 (talk) 20:34, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Civility/threats

This is not the right way to communicate with other editors. Take it to the talk page and, please, lay off the threats. Beeblbrox (talk) 06:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Your report to WP:AIV

Hello - thanks for making a report to WP:AIV. We appreciate your assistance, but AIV is for ongoing, current vandalism, and the IP you reported is not a vandal and is not currently editing.

First, he has not made any edits at all for the last seven hours. Current means current, as in the last few minutes, not hours. Second, his contributions show he's a good faith editor who has made many constructive edits, although they may be against consensus or not in the correct place or format. He's not violating WP:3RR, he's not uncivil, and he sources his content with references.

Even if he was a vandal (which, again, he is not), vandals must be warned more than once to stop their ongoing, current behavior before you report them to AIV. It's important to understand the difference between vandalism and content disputes, and this is a content dispute.

If someone is indeed a vandal, they'll either stop after they're warned or they'll keep going until they're blocked. As I said, though, this guy is not a vandal and he's not going to be blocked now. KrakatoaKatie 07:30, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
