[edit] Vandal patrol

Hi, I'm Elara, and I'm vandalism patrol with you today. Varmits are active , ain't they? --ElaragirlTalk|Count 17:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] blanking user talk page

I reported this problem to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ Somebody has been using a series of IP addresses to systematically blank user talk pages--he hit mine User talk:Rjensen a number of times as well as User talk:Hlj User talk:Kablammo and User talk:Luna Santin and probably others

What the targets all have in common is we strongly protested Stevewk who tried repeatedly to remove all the information about the Civil War from the Abraham Lincoln article. Stevewk was given a 3R suspension but may be using sockpuppets to hit editors. Thus he may be using 70.110.174.121 151.197.233.65 70.110.155.238 70.110.174.121 etc. Rjensen 23:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the rvv on my user page. I'm not even sure what I did to offend this guy; he might be a sock puppet.

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thanks for correcting my user page after the three continuous cases of vandalism. After looking over your talk page, it looks like you came to the rescue of more than one user's page, so in appreciation here is a barnstar for your excellent vandal fighting. Keep up the good work!

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting my user page... ahh, the trials and travails of vandal patrol! :-) Hiberniantears 21:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liger

In your edit summary, you wondered why so many people were vandalising the article. It was mentioned in Napoleon Dynamite, that's my theory. -- Zanimum 18:47, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your fix to vandalism on the Afrocentrism page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soursop (talk • contribs) 19:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC).


[edit] Autism

Hello New England Yankee From your interaction with the Autism article in the recent past I infer you wish to see that it complies with Wikipedia’s guidelines as do I.

I am writing to you about an edit to the introduction section of Autism made by Q0 (whom I believe to be a valuable contributor) and I have no wish to get into a edit war with that person). In my opinion, the altered text presents problems (see my rationale in the discussion section on the 'Introduction').

If you have time and you are interested, take a look and give us some objective feedback. Ta. Malangthon 03:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for catching my mistake

Thanks so much for catching the final bit of vandalism that I missed on the Tractor article. Vandal fighting is not my specialty, but I want to get a little taste of everything there is to do here. I'll check the page history more thoroughly in the future. Thanks again, -- Satori Son 15:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 125.25.190.22 - vandalism IP

Hi, caught your words on this vandals account. Simply LOVE your user page ! Superb ! Please feel free to comment on my similar opinions (though perhaps less tastefully done as you) at my page! Pedro1999a |  Talk  20:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Further, I loved your user page so much I've pinched a quote to put on my page! Hope you don't mind!Pedro1999a |  Talk  09:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Panama Canal

Thanks! I went back and sent warnings to all of the remaining "red" talk pages when you'd finally slowed them down. Until next time...

Take care,

[edit] Georgia (U.S. state) article

I just wanted to drop a line to thank you for reverting the vandalism on the Georgia article page. I tried myself to fix the vandalism, but every time there'd be more. Thanks! Reb 20:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please be more careful

Please be more careful when reverting. You reverted over three legitimate edits on the Haley, which I have restored.[1] –Gunslinger47 18:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

My apologies; thanks for catching this. NewEnglandYankee 18:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
It's no problem. Thanks for reverting the vandalism that you did! :) –Gunslinger47 18:20, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball fan?

You name is mysterious when it comes to a certain rivalry involving your area. BuickCenturyDriver 02:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Sorry for the bad edit summary, it was origially was under the header of a removed attack left by an unregistered (and upset) user. I usually leave a new comment by editing the last comment and posting a new one at the bottom.BuickCenturyDriver 02:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Try clicking the plus (+) tab at the top of the page to add a new conversation thread. It produces less confusing edit summaries and doesn't ever result in edit conflicts. –Gunslinger47 07:58, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I am a baseball fan, as it happens ... a faithful Red Sox fan, from a tender age. The username is a cultural identifier, not a sportive one. I prepended "NewEngland," in fact, so that the Yankee monicker wouldn't be taken as referring to That Other Team. NewEnglandYankee 15:56, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Hmm...I see. Just imagine if someone chose User:NewYorkSox as the opposite of your name. BuickCenturyDriver 21:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for giving 66.91.112.18 that bit of information (diff)! He also vandalized my talkpage, but I think that with that last level warning, he should calm down. Thank, though!! - Hairchrm 05:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I "vandalized" nothing. Just writing random things on your page just like you did to mine. Where are these accusations based from? Do you even look into it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.112.18 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Wow!

You must edit way too many articles... I recogized your name in the history section of two entirely unrelated articles.  :-)

Please avoid using abusive edit summaries as per Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Thanks and happy editing. --Steve Farrell 16:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pesistent vandalism

Hi, I noticed your previous warnings to User 81.145.240.23 for vandalism whilst checking out his/her "contributions" just now. Today's targets were Llandudno and Talk:Great Orme. Seems to be a school student judging by the comment on the Llandudno page and the generally silly nature of the vandalism. However it IS annoying and persistent; a random check shows nothing but this sort of nonsense vandalism as User:81.145.240.23's contributions to date. I'm an admin on cy:wikipedia (different name) but am "powerless" here. Could you have another look and consider appropriate action, please? Enaidmawr 00:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
Thank-you for reverting massive amounts of vandalism. I noticed this after you fixed Miles "Tails" Prower. I decided to look into your editing history and found out that the last 100 or so contributions were just vandal reverting. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Sir Intellegence - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 22:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] holy fucking

shit that was a fast reversion. Are you just sitting there pressing refresh on my contributions page you fag? Jesus liftchasing Christ. — John Stattic (talk) 01:43, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

You know, I thought about undoing this, but it's really rather flattering when you come to think about it. NewEnglandYankee 01:49, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Al Pacino

Thanks for the fast reversion on Al Pacino. Take care, Kudret abiTalk 06:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Koreans

Thanks for reverting that back farther. I don't think Twinkle caught it all, but you got back to it before I could! --Ioeth 17:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duh

After archiving all the old talk from the Talk:Lightbulb joke page, I went and deleted the talk from the page. The comment made by User:DerHexer was uninformed and kinda rude. Please go and revert the reversion you made here. 199.200.243.253 16:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Someone vandalized my Userspace! But a little angel came along and fixed it! Thank you! You can thank others by using {{subst:Vangel}}! Nburden 19:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] December 2007

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Hard coding: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Jauerback (talk) 20:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

Hello NewEnglandYankee, I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. Acalamari 19:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
