[edit] Vandals!

Tell those Vandals to get out of North Africa and go back to their lands in present day central Europe! Just kidding, that was an historical reference to the Germanic tribe... Anyway, there are resourced you can find on Wikipedia for how to deal with vandalism: [1] It's helped me a lot. I'm more of a newbie than WLU probably, but I just though I'd help, haha.

[edit] Vandalism

Best practice is to work your way through the appropriate user warnings. If they're still vandalising, report them on the AIV page (there's a bunch of templates already in place - edit the appropriate section and you'll see the template you're supposed to fill in. If it's sever, perisistent vandalism, or a repeat of past behaviour, you can just put a level four warning up and go right to AIV. WLU 18:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

You should also read Wikipedia:Vandalism#What_vandalism_is_not. WLU —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 20:04, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Universe

Please be careful when calling people "vandals", as you did here. I did not dedicate 8,000 edits and 6 months of my life to put up with this. Please assume good faith in the future. Happy editing! --Agüeybaná 01:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Text removal

Hi there! I just saw your message about the Columbia article. To tell you the truth, I don't remember exactly why I removed the text given that it was a year ago. However, I think the part about tears streaming down Cain's cheeks is certainly not encyclopedic--it's trivia that's not really relevant to the article. As for locking the doors, I'm not sure what point you were trying to make there, but it is standard procedure for a crisis in Mission Control.

Hope that helps. If not, let me know and we can talk further. MLilburne (talk) 11:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree that it is noteworthy in general. I checked and there is already a reference in the Columbia disaster article. I'm not sure whether you're the one who put it there or not, but it fits very well (in my opinion). MLilburne (talk) 07:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
You're welcome! Thank you for your kind words and keep up the good work. We definitely need more people working on the NASA articles (and I should return to them myself). MLilburne (talk) 18:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
