Twelve Steps to giving up vandalism

 * 1) Admit that you are powerless over your addiction to vandalism
 * 2) Believe that a higher power (an admin, Jimmy Wales, or even a respected user) can restore you to making useful edits
 * 3) Make a decision to turn your will and wikilife to this higher power
 * 4) Make a searching and fearless inventory of your morality and knowledge
 * 5) Admit all your previous acts of vandalism to the higher power
 * 6) Become ready to have the higher power to forgive you
 * 7) Humbly ask the higher power to forgive your vandalism
 * 8) Make a list of all users whose user pages that you have vandalised, and become willing to make amends
 * 9) Make amends to these users where it will not do more harm than good to them or others
 * 10) Continue with making your personal inventory, and when wrong promptly admit it
 * 11) Continue to ask advice of the wikipedia community and your mentor when you need it
 * 12) Spread the word to other vandals that you know in real life, in the hope that they cease their vandalism.
