A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, K6ka. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Graham 87 09:55, 30 October 2013 (UTC) Graham 87  09:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Dealing with vandalism
Hello, thanks for trying to deal with vandalism on Wikipedia. I noticed your work when you had reverted one edit by an IP user to Gravitron, but you had missed [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gravitron&diff=579311842&oldid=579040985 the other one]. While looking through your contributions, I noticed that you sometimes completely reverted consecutive vandalism edits, [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Simon_Newcomb&diff=prev&oldid=579310713 like at Simon Newcomb], so I imagine the "Gravitron" problem was an oversight. However, it's more useful to note the user who made the edit you reverted to rather than its revision ID – in the Simon Newcomb example, it would've been better to write "rv to last version by Chris55" in the edit summary.

It's also very useful if you can warn vandals – especially if their edits are recent – and check their contributions. Tools like Twinkle can make it easier to deal with vandalism. Graham 87 09:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

Ah, mighty thanks for the suggestion! I remember hearing about Twinkle a while ago but forgot the name.

Anyways, my apologies for missing those edits. It's just that I'm not new to wiki-editing tools in general (I edit a lot on Wikia), but I'm not used to how fast-paced Wikipedia is. I'll look into Twinkle, and thanks for your suggestions.
