[edit] What I do

I just go to recent changes, click on a page that you think is your best bet, look at history and compare the selected versions. If there is vandalism, click "undo". Then warn the vandal. Hope that helps (: Let's go and get some vandals! Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 21:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking

Actually, unless you're an admin, you can't block someone. However, you can Report them here. And you can use templates to show them that they are blocked. Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 21:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:AIV

Hi Oysterguitarist,

I noticed what looked like your first-ever report to AIV. It wasn't formatted the way they like it, so I stuck my nose in and formatted it. For your future use, the correct way to add a report for a vandal using an IP address and a registered user, repsectively, is to add a line at the bottom of the page like this:

  • {{IPvandal|76.180.22.12}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~
  • {{Vandal|Example User Name}} Brief description goes here. ~~~~

Then it's formatted correctly, the automated bots they use to maintain the page will recognize it, and (hopefully) the vandal gets nuked faster. --barneca (talk) 16:59, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

(my reply to your comment on my talk page, copied here) No problem. When I first started editing and looking "behind the curtain", i was really amazed at how much vandalism there is, and how many people there are trying to clean it up. Don't know if you know this already or not, but Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism has a lot of useful info if you decide you want to do more of it. Watch out, tho, it's addictive. --barneca (talk) 17:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I replied on my talk page.--barneca (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] yeah

I'm not sure what happened to your sandbox. I don't think it was deleted, so maybe you just didn't get the link right. And cheers just means "Good day." And I think you might have better luck asking things at the Help desk because there are so many people you are sure to get an answer. Cheers, JetLover -- Talk to me! 22:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your AIV report

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you. Khukri 14:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I reported 71.49.180.197 cause he had a final warning then he had a page reverted by a bot then he vandalized Avian Flu, Thus vandalizing after his final warning. User:Oysterguitarist 14:31, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

May I just point you to the text at the top of WP:AIV vandalized after a recent last warning. I'm sorry but 2 and a half weeks ago isn't recent, and with it being a anonymous IP there's a high chance the person vandalising isn't the same as before. We must be seen to follow out own rules. Trust me I know vandalism is a pain in the proverbial but if administrators start blocking at will without following our own rules, then there will be all sorts of accusations of impropriety. Cheers Khukri 14:35, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I did not realize that the final warning was given two weeks ago. I did not read the other warning dates. Sorry for the troubles. User:Oysterguitarist 14:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Not a prob, if you ever need any pointers or help with vandal patrol don't hesitate to gimme a shout, OK? Khukri 14:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Way of St. James

Please note that there is no scientific evidence that the tomb at Santiago de Compostella holds the actual remains of St James. The legend may state so, but without a reference to a scientific publication verifying this claim, please keep the caveat that it is only a legend (and no proven fact) in place. Thank you.

[edit] Answer

I'm not an admin, but I reported him and it says in the block log if somebody's blocked. I just but the template. Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 21:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC) Here's a few. {{test5}} {{uw-block1}} {{Bbblock}} Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 21:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Not before he's blocked. Check the history in the AIV and it will say "whoever blocked by someone for 1 day".

[edit] Hey

did you see what i edited. it was Gibberish. just because spartanjames is to retarded to notice that, don't back him up. before you back someone up, look at the content in question.

I saw my mistake and have made a formal apology to the IP user. I'm not sure what, or if I was thinking. I will try to remember to look more closely at past edits before automatically reverting edits and calling them vandalism. I also apologize to you for the inconvenience of this matter. Peace. Spartan-James 20:38, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppets

What I do is look for similarities in usernames, vandalizing the same page, tag teaming, time of registration, and so forth. Cheers, JetLover 21:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IRC Channel

which one are you talking about, #vandalism-en-wp? If so, you'll have to download a client program, like Chatzilla or XChat(I use this). Depending on what OS you have(I have windows) you may have to pay for it...but...if you go here you can get a slightly older version for free. This channel is not accessible through CGI:IRC(the default IRC for wikipedia). Peace. Spartan-James 22:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I forgot where I downloaded my copy from, but when I find out I'll let you know. Peace. Spartan-James 22:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
This is where I downloaded my copy of XChat. You can also get mIRC which people say you have to pay after a while, but if you just wait for the reminder to go away, it's still free. I'll be looking for you on the channel. Peace. Spartan-James 15:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing talk content

Why not?

I will remove warnings as long as I have a cock. Want the blueprints to the Anus Game?

So long as I still have 2 cocks: one for me and one up my ass. So, how bout those Anus blueprints?

[edit] Re:Help

Of course I will help.--†Sir James Paul† 00:54, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem:)--†Sir James Paul† 00:57, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your support and comments at my RfA
Hi Oysterguitarist, It still amazes me that otherwise "anonymous" editors take the time to place !votes and comments on RfAs. Whilst I would have normally thanked you at the time of you leaving your message, the importance of my not appearing to be canvassing prevented me from so doing. Now that everything has progressed successfully I can finally thank you. I intend to uphold a style of good adminship and will welcome your further comments at any time in the future, even if they are in the form of admonishment. I will be happy to help as an admin wherever and whenever I can --VS talk 23:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

Hi Oysterguitarist. Thank you for your support and kind words in my RfA, which passed with 95 support, 1 oppose, and 1 neutral !votes. It means a lot to me to have your individual support and the collective support of so many others. I truly will strive to carry myself at a level representing the trust bestowed in me as I use the mop to address the never-ending drips of discontent in need of caretaker assistance.

[edit] Short Alfa Romeo articles

In your opinion, should the other short Alfa Romeo articles created by 02bjahed (contribs) be nominated for speedy? The one longer article is a copyvio that I've already tagged. --??(derumi)talk 23:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. It was successful, and I am now, may God have mercy on us all, an administrator. Look at all the new buttons! I had heard about 'protect,' 'block user,' and 'delete,' but no one told me about 'kill,' 'eject,' and 'purée.' I appreciate the trust the community has in me, and I'll try hard not to delete the main page or block Jimbo. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Glen Osbourne

Regardsing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glen Osbourne. I have updated the article, infobox and a few citations. The article should pass WP:BIO Athlete now. However it's still pretty poor on citation. Still depends on what you want to vote on it. But being that he competed in ECW and ECWA is passable for WP:BIO Athlete and being that he won belts, should be fairly notable in professional wrestling terms. Your thoughts are welcome know.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haryono Suyono

Hi - while I understand your 'vote' to delete this article based its previous state, I've now done a bit of work on it to assert notability and providing a reliable reference. Sure, it's still nothing but a stub, but verifiable subject notability rather than article quality is what we need to consider at afd's. I hope you can have look at the article and reconsider your position. many thanks Merbabu 10:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CVU Task force

My idea was just to group off editors who do the same kind of work. For example, as an RC Patroller, I would work with other RCPs, and we would all work to report what pages are being vandalized a lot. That way, we would be able to report to AIV, or something. There are details that need to be hammered out, but i think it will work. J-stan Talk 18:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
