User:207.188.29.244 has vandalised my webspace article by redirecting it to another page when I hadnt even finished the page!

When I try and leave a message on User:207.188.29.244's user page, a message comes up saying that there isnt a user with that name!

 * No he hasn't. He made what looks to me like a valid redirect to Disk quota. Even it is isn't a valid redirect it still looks like a good faith edit. The user does not have a page, because like most anons they haven't created one and you should leave messages on the talk page. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:51, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

No it certinaly isnt a valid redirect! My page was about webspace and NOT Disk Quota and I hadnt even finished writing my page anyway! Pepsimanchester 10:59, 15 August 2006 (GMT)
 * Two things. One, it's not vandalism to make a redirect like that. Two, please read Ownership of articles. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 10:14, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

There was NO valid reason whatsoever for editing my page, so it therefore WAS vandalism. [User:Pepsimanchester|Pepsimanchester] 12:42, 15 August 2006 (GMT)


 * Please see WP:OWN. It isn't your page. --Doc 11:47, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I know its not my page but you don't seem to be grasping the point that I am trying to make! The page that it was redirected to had nothing to do with webspace and I was led to believe that as the directed-to page wasnt anything to do with my article that it was therefore classed as "vandalism".

 * 'Vandalism' is a term that wikipedia restricts to edits that are patenly made to be destructive and in bad-faith. Otherwise we assume good faith. The redirect may have been in your opinion unhelpful, it even may be that most people would regard it as wrong. But there is no way you can know that it was deliberately done out of spite or malice, or in order to damage the encyclopedia. Thus it is not vandalism. Revert if you wish, explain why it is wrong - but assume that it was well-meaning. --Doc 12:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Stop harassing me and leave the article that I wrote alone! Touch it again and I will report you to an admin. Pepsimanchester23:33, 15 August 2006 (GMT)


 * Please read WP:OWN. It isn't your atrticle. And I am an admin. --Doc 22:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
