Reporting vandalism
Hi. I see on occasion you've reported instances of vandalism, such as by User:Blahblahblahericisanerd. I just thought I'd let you know what the usual procedure is, in case you need to report vandalism by anyone else.

User warning templates
First of all, take a look here. You'll see a grid of warning templates, with the nature of the vandalism (for instance "page blanking" or "vandalising a userpage" down the side) and a range of severity of the warning across the top. Generally the range starts with "Please don't do that" up to "Do that again and you'll be blocked", for instance through. Inappropriate edits should be reverted (or tagged for speedy deletion and an appropriate warning template placed on the talkpage of the editor who made the edit. A second instance within a reasonably short time gets the next template in line, and so on.

For obvious, repeated edits in a short time which are all vandalism there's a special tag:.

What if they don't stop?
If vandalism continues within a short time of the final "carry on and you'll be blocked" tag the user should be reported here. Please don't report vandals who either haven't reached the final warning or who have only started vandalising again a long time (probably days) after the final warning. Use common sense about whether you think someone has started vandalising again and whether reporting or starting again with warning templates is appropriate. Admins keep an eye on that page and will examine the user's contributions. If appropriate a block will be issued.

Have they been blocked already?
Take a look at the user's contribution page (go to the user's page or talk page and click "User Contributions" on the left. That link is there even if the userpage and/or talkpage don't exist. At the top of the list of contributions (if any) you'll see "Block log". Click on that to see the user's block/unblock history.

Hope that helps, and Happy Editing! Tonywalton | Talk 13:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll take that into consideration.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kitty Logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kitty Logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
