Warning to 83.221.192.34
In regard to my resent vandalism warning to 83.221.192.34 I feel I own a explanation. Several factors went into this decision:

1. User contributions from this user have all been in form of in-appropriate external links.

2. A neutral warning regarding this was posted to the user's talk page on November 8, 2006 11:07.

3. On Decemeber 6 2006 this user once again posted inappropriate unmarked forgien language links to Device driver.

Gribble
I don't know whether it's something you've got control over, or whether it's a wikEd issue, but your edit to gribble had to be almost entirely reverted. Lists in taxoboxes need to be spaced with tags to format correctly, and changing an article between different (consistent) spelling systems is not considered good form (see Manual of Style). --Stemonitis 12:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

First off my I would like to appoligize for the spelling change I was not aware of this particure variant. I will be more carefull in the future. The format change apears to be an issue with wikEd as the script did that. I try to avoid using the automated replacement features for just this reason you never know what they will do by mistake.

Redirects to be made
Hi, Phatom! I wanted to thank you for your attention to Redirects to be made. However, there seems to be a misunderstanding. The purpose of the RTBM page is to create the appropriate redirects after an article has been created -- not before. Redirects created before the article they point to has been created are in fact subject to speedy deletion. -- Antaeus Feldspar 21:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
