April 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Respiratory system, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

 * Sorry about that. If you look at the page history, and what your reversion replaced the vandalism with, you'll see why I thought it was vandalism. Apparently, you didn't go back far enough, there was a bit more vandalism, but I fixed it now. Sorry for the confusion. Hi878 (talk) 00:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

vandalism warning erasure
Hello there. I just wanted to bring something to your attention, since I don't know how to handle it myself.

My watchlist alerted me to reverted vandalism on an article by IP address 67.193.215.150. I checked their talk page to see if they had been warned for it, and it appeared they hadn't. But when I looked at their contributions, I saw that they received two recent vandalism warnings from you, but erased them.

I don't know what to do in this case, and it's hard for me to successfully search for guidance for topics like this on Wikipedia. Thank you for your attention. &mdash; FeygeleGoy/פֿײגעלע גױ&lrm;  (talk) 14:34, 28 April 2010 (UTC)


 * First of all, it is only my second week on Wikipedia so other users would likely know more. The policy found here, WP:WARN, is generally that a user, even an anonymous IP, may remove any messages including warnings from their talk page whenever they want, but it constitutes notice that they received it. What that says to me is that if you were about to warn them a third time and noticed the vandal blanked the first two, you could revert and give the third level vandalism warning. Given that he or she hasn't vandalized in several hours now, it does not matter that they removed the warning since they would not be a good candidate for WP:AIV because they are not "active" and the vandalism is not "recent." I understand your concern because we both know that they will be back to vandalize later, but I don't think there is much we can do at this time. Thanks for the message, hope I helped.

educolbert, think over the fact that why and how this guy got mentioned. does wikipedia have a biographical sketch of each and every judge of India? This guy has hit headlines for wrong reason. Go thru the following links. u will get a better picture. The links are from one of the most trusted, reputed news paper of India which has been known for serious ( as opposed to sensational) journalism.

(The above was written by User:59.96.105.233)
 * I think you are right - the article is out of date. The sources cited in the article now are over 6 months ago and a lot has happened since then as your new newspaper articles explain. Your sources appear reliable and the "Hindu" The Hindu newspaper has already been cited in the article so yes it seems fine to cite these much more recent articles from April 2010. Please improve the article by citing the sources and making neutral non-controversial statements that are clearly supported by the Hindu newspaper. EdEColbert0585  23:22, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have added a paragraph for you with your sources. Keep contributing to Wikipedia. Please see WP:BLP for guidance, and feel free to improve upon what I wrote. EdEColbert0585  00:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Grab some glory, and a barnstar
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. ɳorɑfʈ Talk! 14:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Calmer  Waters  11:05, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
