No problem :). I protected his page, that should drive him away for a while. -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

If you need any help, don't hesitate to drop me a note. Some pages to get you started in case you don't know them by heart already: WP:VAND, WP:UTM (warning templates), WP:AIV to report vandals that don't stop after sufficient warnings (normally, you need to leave at least 3 warnings before reporting). I hope that helps! -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:34, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning vandals

I'm not sure if you already know this, but, when warning vandals, you can, rather than typing in a specific warning, use the templates {{uw-vandalism1}}, {{uw-vandalism2}}, {{uw-vandalism3}}, {{uw-vandalism4}}, and {{uw-vandalism4im}} to warn vandals. Bart133 ^{(t) (c)} 18:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Complete list (and there are a lot of templates): WP:UTM. You can ask some help on how to use them on the related discussion page. -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samara Capital

You reverted a blanking of this page: normally that would be the right thing to do, because a page-blanker is usually a vandal, but it's worth looking first at the edit history. In this case, the page blanker was the author of the article, and he did it after I had tagged the page as spam, so what he was doing was withdrawing his attempt at advertisement. When that happens, the thing to do is to add a {{db-author}} tag, which requests speedy deletion because "No one other than its original author has made substantial edits to this page, and that editor requests its deletion or has blanked the page."

[edit] Your rollback request

You're welcome: edit count isn't a good measure of trust, however: I based my decision on your recent reverts, which looked good to me. Just remember that rollback should only be used to revert vandalism, and misuse or abuse of the tool can lead to it being taken away. For practice, you may want to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 22:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. :) Take care. Acalamari 22:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
