Rules

 * 1.Removing or improving the edit

Needy edits should be tagged according to their need (e.g. ), or boldly changed immediately. Bad edits should likewise be tagged or deleted. Because no wikipedians like their edits to be deleted, it is important to leave concise but clear justifications on the talk page or in the edit summary. When adding tags, please consider placing them on the article's talk page rather than in the article itself.
 * 2.Warn the editor

In the cases of deliberate vandalism or an evident lack of knowledge on Wikipedia procedure, offending editors should be warned on their talk pages. While this is an optional step, it should be a regular part of a patroller's duties, as it minimizes conflict, educates new editors and alerts administrators of repeat offenders. For efficiency and consistency, standard warning templates can be found here. However do feel free to simply write a warning if the available templates are not appropriate. Check the user's other contributions — you'll often find more edits with similar problems. Fix those as well.

Your Faith

 * Level 1 - Assumes good faith
 * Level 2 - No faith assumption
 * Level 3 - Assumes bad faith; stern cease and desist
 * Level 4 - Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, last warning

Vandalism Window
Its almost the same as the Recent changes page. Enjoy!: 

Trace IP
Also, consider tracing the IP address. Find owners by using:


 * ARIN (North America)
 * RIPE (Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia)
 * APNIC (Asia Pacific)
 * LACNIC (Latin American and Caribbean)
 * AfriNIC (Africa)

If an address is not in one, it will probably be in another (think where it is evening...).

Then at the top of their talk page put:

~

Or

~

At the top of talk pages of IP users who repeatedly vandalise - telling them that they can be traced can be sufficient to make them stop.

Level 5
WP:AIV(Use only for Reporting Vandals after the last Warning)

Redirect to Wiktionary
Sometimes the best solution for single word articles is to redirect them to wiktionary, you can do this by typing:

wi {{subst:longcomment}}

You need the longcomment as a straight hard redirect doesn't technically work.

NB Don't forget to use preview to check that there is a wiktionary definition to link to...
