User talk:Janitor Starr

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Operating system: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you.--M4gnum0n (talk) 11:09, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Cute, you have a template message to tell people to warn users. Honestly, I'm amused, but I really have no intention of messing around with that stuff; it is my opinion that most people who deface articles know that they are defacing articles, and hence, warning is merely a waste of time. (Sure, I'm aware of Wikipedia's policy on assuming good faith, but I prefer to apply common sense where appropriate; a user who replaces articles with the word "penis" generally isn't exercising good faith. For example.) If I feel a user has simply made a mistake, then sure, I'll leave a message, but point-blank deleting large sections of article text is rarely a "mistake". I'd rather spend my time improving the encyclopedia then feeding trolls. Still, thanks for taking the time to improve your edit count by --~ . --Janitor Starr (talk) 02:06, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * If you really have no intention of doing that, would you mind if I follow you around warning vandals where you don't? --M4gnum0n (talk) 23:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If you want, although I might ask that you not go posting warning on IP talk pages of people who either a) vandalized once and never came back, or b) vandalized over two hours ago. Other than that, knock yourself out; I still don't see the point, but I understand why some people might place emphasis on it. --Janitor Starr (talk) 04:37, 7 October 2010 (UTC)


 * That's too much of a restriction for me: I usually warn first-time vandals even the day after... Well, so it's time to part ways. See you around! --M4gnum0n (talk) 23:34, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
