Info
Hello, I'm K6ka, but a lot of people abbreviate my username as "k6" (it's only 4 characters, seriously??!!). I am primarily here on Wikipedia to revert, well, vandalism. If you are a vandal on Wikipedia, I would gladly appreciate it if you stopped your annoying behaviour. I might also revert good faith edits and try to explain why, but for the most part I concentrate on vandalism. If you think I reverted one of your edits by mistake, please tell me at my talk page. I don't like doing the wrong thing, and if I made a mistake, rest assured that it wasn't deliberate. If you simply tell me rather than declaring an edit war on me, then we'll all walk away learning something.

If you want to join the glorious forces of vandal-fighters, that's half the battle! First, here's a few tips to get you started: 1. Create an account! You can fight vandalism even as an anonymous user, but it's slow and you'll have to stick with that "Undo" button, which, trust me, 70% of the time you'll be beaten to reverts, and you won't feel so awesome at the end of the day.

2. Make some constructive edits. Go around the wiki, fix some typos, add citations to articles pleading for them, expand, improve, and be nice to editors. You can try reverting vandalism now, but remember, you'll still be with that "Undo" button.

3. Once you've been a member for over 4 days and made more than 10 constructive edits, you'll be an autoconfirmed user. Great job, you've now shown the wiki that you are eager to help out and that you can be trusted with a few more tools.

4. Go and get Twinkle. Twinkle is a third-party add-on that uses Javascript to give users a few extra tools to assist them in editing the wiki. Namely, it gives autoconfirmed users the rollback links, as well as a few extra features to make it easier to warn and report users, and to tag articles for deletion. WooHoo! No really, Twinkle will be your best friend for the rest of your life on Wikipedia, so long as you use it properly.

5. Go on recent changes and pick out some random edits. Click on the "diff" link to compare that revision with the previous revision. If it meets the criteria for vandalism, hit "rollback (VANDAL)", go to the editor's talk page, mouse-over "TW" on the top-right, select Warn, and add a warning. Consult User Warnings for details. Generally, you should add a stricter, sterner warning if friendlier warnings already exist. For example, if there's a level 1 warning already on the page, add a level 2 warning. If it is an IP address, and the last warning was a day ago, add a level 1 warning instead, since IP addresses can change owners over time.

6. Once you've been reverting for a good amount of time, and show that you can differentiate between a vandal edit and a good faith edit, you can ask for rollback permission on this page. You must prove that you will use the rollback feature wisely, and not use it to revert edits you disagree with, or to edit war (unless it's vandalism, which should always be reverted). If you get rejected, don't run to the edge of the cliff just yet! Keep reverting!

7. Once you get accepted, this is where I leave you - at the crossroads. I would suggest tools like Huggle or STiki to enhance your fighting experience. Twinkle shouldn't be removed, because it is still a useful tool, even if the rollback links are slower than the default rollback link (Don't forget about those other features). Other than that, happy reverting, and thank you for helping Wikipedia!

If you are already a vandal fighter, or if you are just curious, here's a meter to show how serious the vandalism on the wiki is: Hit the "Purge" link to update the template

I spend a lot of time on Wikia as well, links are below.

On Newgrounds? Pay my rather under-visited userpage a visit - Link

I don't upload too much, but I do watch a strange assortment of videos - Link

Below is a list of all the wikis (on Wikia, of course) I've contributed to:

The Last Stand Wiki is the wiki that pretty much started it all. I pretty much grew up with it and I am still active on that wiki. Can you believe I joined Wikipedia nearly two years before I joined this one, and I have over 7000 edits there? Even stranger, I'm still just an autoconfirmed user on that wiki. I guess that's because the founder's gone and the only other bureaucrat is... also gone. Damn, guess my admin status is going to have to take the backseat for a little longer.

The Sims Wiki is another odd one. The thing is, I've only made about 250 edits there (at the time of this writing), yet I was still nominated for rollback rights. Whereas on The Last Stand Wiki - 7000 edits and still autoconfirmed. Weird, huh?

SimCity Wiki: I don't do much here, other than fixing a few double redirects, correcting some incorrect information, and.... that's it.

How-To Wiki: This wiki is lost. Hopelessly lost. I only check the recent changes page to revert the occasional vandal. The only admin there seldom comes on, pages marked for deletion months ago are still there, and the VSTF are the only ones that keep the place from blowing up and still leave mountains of dynamite behind.

Space Marine Wiki: Only been there once to clean up after a vandal that commuted over to that wiki to berate the active admin on The Last Stand Wiki. Seriously...

Vim Wiki: Only been there once to undo an edit that made no grammatical sense.
