what you called "humorous editing" was intended to be serious. i was explaining why mushkin's logo supported their motto.

Thanks for reverting vandalism! There are some useful tools and tips available at WP:VAND. If you have any questions, feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page, User_talk:TeaDrinker. Thanks again and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker 19:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and Question

Thank you for the welcome and the very helpful links. Sometimes it's good just to clean something up.

I do have a question about how to handle an obsolete article. Can you point me to the right "Help" area to learn about this? I have poked around several different help pages but just haven't found it yet. (Specifically, Exploris has merged and no longer exists as such. Someone removed the temporary note about this from the top of the article, so I assume that's not a correct way to handle it. As a newbie, I'm reluctant to wade in with a big pair of scissors.) Jackollie 20:44, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, that is a good question. I think it might be good to move the article to the new name (Marbles Kids Museum) and perhaps add a bit to the article explaining the name-change and merger. It looks like there is no article for Playspace, so no need to worry about it needing updates. The page Exploris will still be in Wikipedia as a redirect to the new page. I wouldn't worry about messing up too much; virtually everything on Wikipedia is reversible. So be bold and give it a try. If you're really not sure, I would be happy to check it over. Thanks, --TeaDrinker 20:56, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A bold snip snip. It's done; I'd appreciate it if you gave it a check at your convenience. Thanks! Jackollie 21:47, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great, keep up the good work! --TeaDrinker 23:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting vandalism

I see your good work in reverting vandalism on articles such as John Key. Where there are numerous edits to clean up, you may find it easier just to revert in one step back to the last known good version. See WP:RV for details.-gadfium 22:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please consider using twinkle, it will make it much easier. I've tried to get a 'restore this version' capacity added to 'undo', but there doesn't seem any interest in it. Richard001 06:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know you are a "vandaimsm rerverted." Please taek a look at the last five or six additions to Portery, and tehy are a candidate for your services. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 13:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)Stan[reply]

Good job!

I just wanted to say; excellent job reverting vandalism! Keep up the good work! :D Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 03:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know that it can feel lonely when sitting for hours reverting endless vandalism with no encouragement, so I thought I would offer some. :) Oh, and as some others have mentioned, would you like to take a stab at using some anti-vandal tools? It's quite simple, just jog into your monobook page and add some code; the tools are very useful things. I, for example, have one that lets me monitor recent changes in real time based on a 'bad word' filter; I can rollback edits to that article in one click and warn the user in another two. You don't have to, but I'm just suggesting you consider it. See you around, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 03:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! And if you ever want to talk about anything feel free to come on down to my talk page, or any other editor's talk page, even. Happy editing! Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 04:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying out Twinkle, I see? :) I've noticed you beating me to quite a few reverts in the past while. Awesome job! I'll give you a barnstar after this flow of vandals slows... ;) Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 05:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I just try to give a more human element to the process. If you want I can code a bot that will congratulate you for every 50 reverts... :P Cheers, Master of Compliments ^{Omigosh I love your hair!} 05:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

News headline next day: Wikipedia servers explode due to compliment bot's malfunction! Oh, and I can also recommend a live spell checking tool that scans all recent edits for spelling errors; sound interesting? (p.s. I'll stop bothering you soon, never fear) Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 05:22, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Lupin/Live spellcheck. I trust you're capable of navigating further (hint: click on the anti-vandal tool link). Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{Care to share?} 05:29, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for vandalizing

I just wanted to apologize for my recent vandalism. I just wanted to joke around and have a good laugh. Come on. It was funny, right? I know you laughed. Or maybe it was just extremely immature. From, Longshanks 81. (improperly signed by Longshanks81)

Yeah, I am thinking it was extremely immature. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 06:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI. Page protection are held faster at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection, which I what I think you want for Preston High School (Ontario). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CENSOR

Stop censoring my entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.151.91.76 (talk) 14:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Judge and Jury.

Hi Jackollie. Why is it you just stumpled over my comment about site advisor ? no more than a few minutes after I had entered it - for the second time.

My comment is decent - and relavant. My comment in talk about calling for a group lawsuit against Site Advisor is also relavant. What makes you think Site Advisor is a programme that should be allowed on the internet ?

Do you realise how much power these guys have just by offering the programme ?

You can compare this programme to a bunch of guys running around and making invisble graphiti on peoples houses during the night. If you buy a pair of special glasses from them you will be able to see what they have written on your house. Maybe it is good - and maybe it is bad.

And the guy who owns the house/store - doesn't know they have been there, and maybe he can't even see it, and he will never find out why he is loosing customers.

In my case it was bad - but they will not show me where the apparantly red link on my website is - and I can't find it. My website is small and not important - but I do try to attract customers by it - can you imagine how many customers will visit my site (if they have bought the site advisor).

Would you shop in a store that was painted with "danger do not enter" on the door ??

They did not even inform me about the tag.. and they do not respond to my mails. I happen to use McAfee my self - so I found out about it fast - but the poor bastards who doesn't use the programme - they will never know.

My domain is finished - and I cant do anything about it - except call for a group lawsuit - that is all I have left. Do you see what kind of power they have ?

What if they decide to tag wikipedia red ? and you cant find the reason - and they do not respond to your mails - would you still have the same oppinion ?

Mr. Ditlevsen, please accept my sympathies for the difficulties you face. Unfortunately, Wikipedia by its nature and policies is an ineffective forum for presenting your experiences. Wikipedia's policies require editors to cite only published sources, not personal experience, and to present articles from a neutral point of view. I hope that you can find a more effective venue for addressing these issues. Sincerely, Jackollie (talk) 06:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Overly promotional?

(removed helpme) I'm not sure how to proceed on Rand McNally. The article itself seems a bit newsrelease-ish, and a recent addition by 70.173.169.72 seems blatantly promotional. This IP has (very civilly) reinserted the new material and removed my addition of a newsrelease template. I don't feel that I'm experienced enough to (very civilly) do battle here, and I don't know the next step to take. Thanks! Jackollie (talk) 05:07, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! I've been following the unfolding of the Rand article since before this anon editor started adding blatant advertising. Thanks for stepping in and taking an interest. This user simply does not understand the purpose of Wikipedia, and I have advised him/her of it to no avail. I have posted a three-revert warning on his/her user page, but I doubt that will have much effect. The next step will be to report the edit war to the admins on this page. Please feel free to add this user to the list if you see another revert before I do. Thanks!—Lazytiger (Talk | Contribs) 05:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's been reverted again. I did not revert it back; I reported it to the aforementioned Administrators' noticeboard. Do not revert it back; the administrator will do that for us after looking at the situation. Thanks!—Lazytiger (Talk | Contribs) 07:15, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about editing

If I changed the font color of a page for no reason, would that be considered vandalism?Longshanks81 (talk) 04:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No reason

I was just wondering. Besides, I don't even know how to do any of those things. Longshanks81 (talk) 04:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip re vandalism

Thanks for your prompt action in Pottery.

Shut down a vandal, and you keep him off for a day. Teach someone to shut down a vandal, and you have an allie for life. Or something like that.

I'll read that stuff tomorrow.

Chris Glenne

Sorry about Chris Glenne: I don't think it's right to block until there's a uw-vand4 or uw-vand4im, and vandalism after that, and neither the user nor the IP have them. I agree that it looks suspicious, but you should file a sock puppet case if you think that this should be pursued. Nyttend (talk) 04:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
