Welcome Vandal Fighter
Thank you for your efforts in keeping Wikipedia free of vandalism. You might want to check out this page, as it contains a wealth of information concerning vandal fighting - including some powerful tools to make your work more productive. Once again, welcome aboard! Dust Filter 03:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
thank you. also is there a way for me to make or have a template that lists all of the user talk warning templates on my user page?--Vandalism destroyer 03:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- All the templates that I know of are located here. You can preview the warnings interactively on that page and, if you want them on your user-page, the relevant code is available for easy cut-and-paste. Hope this helps. Dust Filter 03:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
I saw your message on the RC patrol talk page, just wanted to recommend that you install WP:TWINKLE. It will make your life a lot easier. It virtually automates reverting, warning, and reporting of vandalism. Easy to install and use too. - Crockspot 21:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Cat w red-eye
Hi. Would you move Image:Cat with red-eye effect.JPG to Commons? I would like to create a derivative (cropped) version and that would be easier to do with cross-referencing if your image is already on Commons. Thanks! --Una Smith (talk) 15:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Um, ok how exactly do i do that? Vandalism destroyer (talk) 20:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Revert
If you had actually checked my edit, instead of just reverting it, you would have seen that I had deleted gibberish, and that I had, in fact, given a reason. 66.188.254.197 (talk) 05:43, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I see now, my bad. Thank you for contacting me about that. It just seemed like you deleted most of the article. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 07:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
No worries mate. Sorry for my snarly response. I was just kind of upset at being shot down for contributing. 66.188.254.197 (talk) 08:59, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Musician article
I'm trying to delete the page you have sent me a warning about, as I am "brand new" to using the Wikipedia and am only trying to help a Musician create a Wikipedia reference and as you can tell stumbling through. So please, if you would delete what I've done I'd greatly appreciate it. I've printed out information on creating on the site but if you can give me any more directive's I'd appreciate it. Sam1957
- Well, I don't remember sending you a warning. There isn't even a warning from me on your talk page, although there are warnings from other editors on the same subject. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 21:02, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
your RfA
I've removed it from the RfA page; the code is all messed up, you haven't finished the questions and it hasn't been properly transcluded. I'd advise not moving it to the RfA page until you answer Q3. Ironholds 10:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Ah, I see. I'll work on it some more, but I'm afraid I won't be able to re-submit it 'till tomorrow. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 10:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine; like I said it isn't really meant to be moved to the main page until it's finished. May I suggest, with all due respect, that you don't submit the RfA in the forseeable future? I think it's unlikely (read: impossible given the circumstances) that you will pass. You've got 500-odd edits, you don't tend to use edit summaries that much and all of your edits seem to be anti-vandal work; nothing in other sections of the wiki that would give the impression you know policy regarding anything other than vandalism. In addition you seem to have vanished for a large chunk of time; as an editor you've effectively been here for about a month. I'd advise submitting it in 3-4 months or so, and spending that time working on things other than anti-vandal work. Ironholds 11:01, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, yes I see. I suppose I should wait a while, and build up my stats as an editor. Thank you for the advice. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 20:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- No problem :). If you need any help with editing or policy, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Remember: adminship is not the be-all and end-all; admins are equal to other users, just slightly more "trusted". You can still be a good editor without the banhammer (says a man who's failed RfA's 3 times). Ironholds 22:09, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

article "Bottom Girl" needs attention, not reverts
Hi Vandal Destroyer,
First, thanks for your efforts. I contribute randomly and anonymously (not yet set up an account), so I respect anyone who does the down and dirty work of keeping wikipedia running.
You caught my attention because you reverted an edit I made which was just -- not vandalism -- on the page 'Bottom Girl.' I tried to annotate my changes, but it could easily have looked like vandalism. So, since you reverted me (I reverted you too, but you get seniority: so...), I'm gonna try to drop this project in your lap. Here's the problem with the article, hopefully you can handle it more elegantly than I was trying to (I'm not super-familiar with Wikipedia best-practices): a link in the article, in fact the only live weblink, was to a site that my browser warned me has been distributing malware. I have no idea if the link is valid -- I suspect the citation is valid, but not properly linked (that is, the document it sites may be correct, but the link may or may not be the actual file -- the link is broken, regardless.
I'd invite you to see the changes I made -- documented in an untutored and probably non-standard fashion -- but it's all there. For what it's worth, the link itself is, at the very least, dead. The domain is probably created for the sake of hosting malware -- the domain name seems to have little to do with the content of the citation, and the 'whois' turns up something in Thailand (the link cites a NGO in Hawaii, for what it's worth).
Sorry for the long-winded follow-up, but I wanted to give you as much information as I had.
Cheers,
Ryan. 69.107.8.123 (talk) 09:02, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
- I see now. I just tried the link and FireFox blocked it as an "Attack site". Thank you for taking the time to point this out to me. I apologize, it just looked like vandalism, since in the history I saw "MALWARE IS HOSTED AT THIS SITE" or something along those lines. To me it appeared as if a malware link was being posted on the article.
Well thank you for pointing that out. This may have very well protected someone from clicking that link in an unprotected browser (Although I have no idea why someone would want to click that.) Vandalism destroyer (talk) 09:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Did you read the article ?This is a fictional article there is no such player.He is not mentioned anywhere except on a "blog" and in a youtube video.READ IT , look what kind of syntax this uses.http://sizandinho.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.27.216 (talk) 22:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Talk to me
Before reverting my edit , talk to me. I'm serious about the article being fictional and I know for fact it is. Letting it be as is jeopardizes wikipedia's status of a serious encyclopedia.
HERES a good reference for sizan read this blog. http://sizandinho.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html

- According to your talk page, you were warned several times about reverting that particular article. --Vandalism destroyer (talk) 02:54, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- That is a lie. There was only one warning and no opportunity for clarification before you decided to act like a know-it-all admin. If you read *any* of my commentary you would know that I cited what was asked for!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!! BristollovesLevi (talk) 03:11, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Piedmont, Ca
Why have you marked my changes as vandalism? I have cited sources such as http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/ror/assembly_09_03_04.pdf . Also, any search on the internet shows that Piedmont is registered republican under 11%. Maybe I should write "In contrast with the rest of the United States, ..." Other neighboring areas such as Pleasanton, Fremont, and the Stockton metro area are much more conservative. Please take my argument seriously, as I can provide other sources also, but I consider this one reputable enough. 76.102.193.102 (talk) 05:40, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Because your edit was rather harsh, plus you have been reverted before. You should have added the text to the article in a more "Friendly" way, instead of replacing text in the article.
Can you help me rephrase it? I have that source above. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.102.193.102 (talk) 05:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Try putting "Mostly liberal" after "Extremely affleunt", in a way so that it says something like:
"Piedmont is a small, extremely affluent city in Alameda County, California, United States, which has been described as mostly liberal."
This will give the edit an appearance of being constructive with the source.
Vandalism destroyer (talk) 05:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
How can I cite the source? Should I just put it in the edit space as before?
Howbout I talk to you tomorrow about this, my laptop battery is getting low. Vandalism destroyer (talk) 05:57, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

- No problem. Do you want me to tweak it some more to make it even harder to vandalize, and/or semi-protect your real userpage? J.delanoygabsadds 16:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK, done. Check it out now... [evil laugh] J.delanoygabsadds 16:26, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
If the vandalism gets really bad, you can usually get it semi-protected for a few hours. Admins really don't like protecting user talk pages for long periods of time, because it removes the only way of contacting a user in a timely manner. So the most you can do usually is revert/warn/report and put up with it. If it gets out of hand, file a report on WP:RFPP. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 04:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- I just have to say that your userpage is the coolest ever! A vandal goes into the edit mode and finds nothing to vandalize. That is so awesome. Do you mind telling me how you did it?

Wrong IP
Hello, I am referring that you sent me a message that I have edited a section on a person. I DO NOT remember that I had changed the biography of that to some explosive words. And I was banned from editing any page because of that. I was confused as I used wikipedia often and I do obey the rules, but I do not recall writing that explosive. I would like Wikipedia to check again, as my internet has been changed recently and is shared among 4 users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.7.136 (talk) 08:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

screamo
Hello , what i posted on the screamo page, it is true . Its not vandalism .
- Well that seemed rather like vandalism to me. Even if it wasn't vandalism, It didn't have a concrete source to back it up, and it seemed to violate Wikipedia's Neutral point of view, which attempt to appeal to a worldwie audience. The reason for this is that what one community may think is true about something cannot always be said for a different community. It may be true that mainly homosexuals listen to the album in one community, but it may not be true for other communities. Also, I should suggest that you put talk page posts at the bottom of the talk page instead of the top which you did originally. And please sign your posts by typing four tildes (VandalismDestroyer | Talk to me 04:57, 24 November 2008 (UTC)) at the end of your post. Thank you.

Blanking one's own talk pages isn't vandalism
WP talk page guidelines clearly state: "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and anonymous users." So please stop harassing the dynamic IP 12.76.xx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.76.153.143 (talk) 19:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I just wanted to say thanks for reverting the spam that someone posted on my talk page. It's much appreciated! - Masonpatriot 14:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

You warned the user Jamespiecowye about this on his talkpage. You reverted the edit back to the full article and tagged with db-bio. The creator of the article blanked the page which makes it CSD G7, so the article should be deleted. Its useless to waste time and wait what he comes up with. I am quite sure there is nothing notable about the person. Cheers. Marsa Lahminal (talk) 09:03, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I realized that. I reverted before I noticed the similar names, and when I did, it was already reverted, so I decided to tag it with the bio tag instead of reverting my own edit. I'll take a closer look at these things when I RPP. Thank you. Vandalism Destroyer 13:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Radin and Randi edits
Radin's work has been rebutted by the scientific community. This is established fact. The fact that he still believes in paranormal phenomena thus makes him a nutjob. Not opinion, established fact.
As for Randi, he has led us into a new era of reason. Perhaps it was inappropriate of me to label him the new messiah, but the rest of my edits should have stood.

Account Creation Interface
You have been approved to use the Internal Account Creation Interface! Some important notes before you get started:

Now that you have read the generic warnings, please read (or re-read if you have read it already) the tool's documentation page which includes a link to the tool's request-filling interface. If you ever need any help, I myself am an interface admin and developer, so feel free to drop me a line on my talk page if you need help, or would like a new welcome template added to the autowelcome feature!

Not Vandalizing, Please Eyeball Edits
The following edits to Wendy Northcutt are not vandalism. Several years ago a Wiki-nazi was trying to prove a negative point about the Darwin Awards and slanted the Interview section accordingly. The following edit, which is a rearrangement and minor rewording, is a more accurate reflection of the interviews cited. Also the birth date is completely unsourced, and the word "November" should be removed from the book ISBN section, to standardize the presentation.
"Interviews" section: My proposed edit (which has been twice reverted by, seemingly, a computer.)
Northcutt was interviewed by Mark Emmons of the San Jose Mercury News. Emmons states that "Northcutt considers herself a potential Darwin Award candidate. She describes herself as a klutz."
When interviewed by Salon she said "If there are multiple stupidity genes, then having one or two might make someone creative, while having a dozen would make her a dangerous idiot."
In an interview with a blogger at UK hosting company 123-reg[7], Wendy confirmed that running the Darwin Awards website now takes up all of her time. She said, “I always feel like I’m neglecting my audience, even though I work more than full time.” She also talked about how the Darwin Awards successfully made the transition from being an online publication to being an offline one. The interview mentions that publishers asked her to "remove the stories from the internet. But Wendy was adamant: 'It was a community! I could not do that. Even though it might have cost me a lot of money, I kept saying no.'”
In 2001, Northcutt was interviewed by Jamie Allen of CNN[1]. Northcutt stated, "Before (the awards became popular), we were an insular community and we could make fun of people and those people (or their families) would never find out. But as it got bigger, I realized there was more and more danger of really hurting people." Therefore she treats the subjects of her stories with compassion, and suggests that those who read her books are likely to become more careful with explosives.
Northcutt has been interviewed by CNN[1], Salon.com[2], Jeep van Carr[3], the j.ello report[4], the Spokane Spokesman-Review[5], the SJ Mercury News[6], and the 123-reg blog [7].
Re: Not Vandalizing, Please Eyeball Edits
Hello there. I have since reverted my latest reversion, and removed the warnings from your talk page. It just seemed like vandalism because of the quote "She describes herself as a klutz." Wikipedia has a policy against inserting dubious or harmful materials in biographies, but I have reviewed your sources and have now deemed the edits to be correct.

Warning or welcoming
Hiya, I notice you do quite a bit of RC patrole, and though I don't do that myself, I realise it's a lot like drinking from the firehose. I would like to ask you to try to see the best of faith in new editors. As an example I'd like to point you to Special:Contributions/90.219.200.237 who you reverted several times, and give vandalism warnings with every edit. The edits were not in bad faith, and therefor not vandalism. If you would have templated him/her with a welcome template, and a suggestion to take it to talk, or take the time (and I know RC patrole is fast and furious) to explain to the user what exactly is wrong with the specific edit, you could well get a better response from the user in question.
Hope this is something you can do something with. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:31, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User talk:MomJeans, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting User talk:MomJeans, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Multiple warnings?
Hi
How come you leave editors both a level 1 and a level 2 warning for the same edit? See e.g. User talk:201.150.75.243, User talk:24.206.231.192, User talk:68.174.25.247, User talk:68.22.199.125, User talk:96.237.237.139. With User talk:24.206.231.192 there were 54 seconds between the two warnings, so it looks like a manual thing and no Huggle trouble.
