reversions
Please be more careful about reverting "vandalism" - the most recent reversions you made to Oak-Land Jr. High School were from an IP that was attempting to REMOVE vandalism. Tan  &#124;  39  17:12, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I think everyone involved, including myself, should have been a little bit more observant of the situation. --Charitwo (talk) 18:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk page protection
I don't know why this request was ever granted, but I have unprotected your talk page per WP:USER. Page protection to talk pages is to be used rarely and only in the cases of persistent and extreme vandalism, which I can find no evidence of occurring here. If you don't like the orange bar I'm sorry, but communication and collaboration are paramount to the project. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 18:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Fine, I will find some CSS to prevent it from displaying completely. I do not need an annoying yellow bar to be able to know I have new messages, that's what a watchlist and e-mail notifications are for. Thanks. --Charitwo (talk) 18:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Point of interest: there is no email notification for talk page messages on this project. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 18:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Intruiging. --Charitwo (talk) 18:54, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I wish it was enabled, but with the massive amount of traffic on the English Wikipedia, it's been disabled; there'd just be too much email generated, and there are serious concerns about performance issues It's also disabled for some of the other Wikipedias as well, but is more prevalent on the smaller projects (like Wikisource or WIkispecies), but still enabled on important cross-wiki sites like Meta and Commons.

Soft redirect
This page is not a soft redirect per WP:SRD. Please stop placing that template on this page as it improperly categorizes it. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 18:51, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok. --Charitwo (talk) 18:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

"You have new messages" box
Charitwo, do you need some assistance setting up your css file to hide the "you have new messages" box? I'd be happy to help out. Leave a message on my talk page so that I can figure out the CSS and then I will let you know what will do it. Cheers! Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 16:07, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I was going to figure it out myself, but I'm at work right now so really don't have the time to put a whole lot of effort into it. I was going to wait til tonight, but if you have the proper function already, by all means. --Charitwo (talk) 16:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. This change should fix you right up.  Remember to clear your browser's cache so that it picks up your new customized CSS file.  Let me know if there is anything else I can do to assist you.  Cheers, and keep up the great work!  Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle friendly) 17:02, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Babur
Charitwo? You have a Wikipedia username too? Well, anyway, that's not me. I'm at school right now, so anyone could've edited it. By the way, it's me, MarioGalaxy. This is a laptop from my school, and everyone in this classroom at the moment could've done it. 69.74.205.165 (talk) 16:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Charitwo, this is MG. Yes, the IP above is me. You see, our grade is doing a history project, and these guys are looking for information on certain guys (I'm looking for Aurangzeb, for example). Unfortunately, some of the guys are messing up the articles, but I can't pinpoint it, because more than one user has Babur for a project. MarioGalaxy (talk) 16:13, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Then you can let your fellow peers know that vandalism isn't tolerated here at Wikipedia. Would be a shame if that IP was subjected to a school block. --Charitwo (talk) 18:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. By the way, can you see that big notice on the IP talk page? Apparently, you or some other user know that the school I'm referring to is this one. Well, regardless, thanks. In half an hour, I will no longer be using this IP, meaning my class will be over. Anyone else vandalizing, I cannot stop. Contact me on SmashWiki at around 4:30 pm ET. If I do not respond ASAP, I may be out. I will be on SmashWiki today. 69.74.205.165 (talk) 15:44, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I put that notice there, however I don't edit at SmashWiki anymore, I won't be needing to contact you. --Charitwo (talk) 15:47, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, then what's the point of your rollback status? Well, that's driving from the point. Well, I'd say we're done with this. Our computer teacher just warned us about School block, that you guys know when, how, etc. we edit. If someone continues, just revert it. I'm the only one receiving these messages. 69.74.205.165 (talk) 15:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Rollback is for anti-vandalism purposes, I'm specifically talking about not editing or adding content, reverting vandals is still in my book, thanks. --Charitwo (talk) 15:59, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

69.74.205.165
You know what? Let's take some extra precautions. Nobody in my grade (except for me) is smart enough to make an account, so I'll tell you the articles they may edit. I know because we have certain assigned names. Here they are:
 * Genghis Khan- One or two of my classmates already edited them, and I pinned their names down to two possible students, sent a message to another student.
 * Babur- You've seen it.
 * Ogodei
 * Kublai
 * Tamerlane
 * Osman
 * Mehmed
 * Suleiman
 * Akbar
 * Jahangir
 * Shah Jahan
 * Aurangzeb- Someone edited this one either today or yesterday.

This list may not be accurate, for I can barely make out my teacher's handwriting (it stinks). Are you a Sysop here? If you are, semi-protect or protect these articles, or ask a Sysop (if you aren't one here) to do so. Just precautions. MarioGalaxy (talk) 16:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The proper and usual procedure for vandalism is to revert, warn, and if they edit after final warning, report them at WP:AIV. --Charitwo (talk) 16:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
