AIV
Thank you for your AIV report, however, please ensure that users have received sufficient warnings before reporting them to AIV. Typically this means they have vandalized after the "final warning". Twinkle includes warning templates that can be used to warn users after you rollback their vandalism. xenocidic (talk) 16:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC) UNDERSTOOD sorry next time i wan't do the same mistake and thanks for notifing me. Alexnia (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC) wil Twinkle ever work in Internet explorer and does the rollback feature work on that browser as well?
 * I don't think Twinkle will ever work in IE. The native rollback feature does work in IE. xenocidic (talk) 16:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Puzzled
Greetings, and thank you for saying hello ... but now I'm truly puzzled; thought I would ask -where- I'd forgotten to sign on a talk page but you have an identical message on your page ... so this is presumably automated; in which case why didn't it show up last year? There are more things in Wikipedia than are dreamt of in our philosophies... ;-) Anihl (talk) 18:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

well it's normall it's written in the welcome template which is given to us friendly(tool) users sorry for puzzling you but as seeing nobody else wrote the template on you disscussion page i took the job in doing itAlexnia (talk) 19:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

June 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Homestead, Oklahoma has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. – iride  scent  20:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * (Re: Wrong warning): Iridescent reverted your edit and sent the notice, I didn't. Anyhow, I re-reverted the "dictatorship" edit. This looks like an honest mistake that happens all the time. (I've made a few myself.) • Gene93k (talk) 23:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

what is exactly meant by a mainspace edit ?
 * Mainspace is one of Wikipedia's namespaces; specifically, the default namespace with all articles. Check the links for more info, and click here for a report on contributions that you've made in each namespace. Hope this helps! Glass  Cobra  07:18, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

 * This is not your fault; it stems from a problem with Huggle, a program used to revert vandalism at high speed. If you save your edit at the same point someone else clicks the "revert" button in Huggle, it can cause the program to incorrectly think that your edit was the vandal edit. Some users think that the problem is serious enough in cases like yours, where a perfectly good editor is incorrectly tagged as a "vandal", that Huggle shouldn't be used; however, the general consensus is that the good caused by keeping Huggle active (no other process is as effective at keeping vandals off Wikipedia) outweighs the problems it causes.
 * Gurch, who wrote Huggle, will probably certainly be better placed than me to explain exactly how it works, if you have any questions about the process. – iride  scent  19:04, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for Welcoming me to Wikipedia. Do you like motorsport or F1 in particular?Motorhead12 (talk) 15:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

well i like none of them but thanks for replying *(few just thought you warned me while i was using huggle)Alexnia (talk) 15:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

re: Huggle war
Yeah, I was going to click "undo" and leave an edit summary, but it is faster to click on rollback, and I didn't want the erroneous warning to be there for any more time than it had to be. Thanks for not getting mad at me, and sorry for the "you have new messages" annoyance. J.delanoy gabs adds 16:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Please be careful...
...when using rollback. It should only be used when an edit is blatantly unproductive, and there is no possible way that this edit, for example, qualified as vandalism.

I appreciate that you're a new user but please be careful. If necessary, your Huggle and/or rollback rights will be removed if they're not used according to their instructions. – iride  scent  22:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Vandals
How can I spot if a page has been vandalised?Motorhead12 (talk) 05:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

You can look for random lines of text, things that seem far out of place, etc. Vandalism is not as common as Wikipedians think it is, though. I have only seen two instances of vandalism, and I have been a wikipedian since December 2007. One of them was on the page for a kids TV show, it said the theme song was "Spit It Out" by Slipknot, and it said that the genre of the show was "Pornography/hentai".

Mistake on Peyto Lake
this edit wasn't vandalism - it was a removal of nonsense, which should have been obvious if you'd read the text; another clue is the header, as gallery sections never contain plain text, only images. I've fixed the vandalism, but when most new users see nonsense, they'll just remove it without explanation so it's good to be careful. Graham 87 12:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Arrgh another warning like this and I bet a admin is going to remove my huggle Rights :(Alexnia (talk) 12:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Dont worry, everyone makes mistakes, I'm sure anyone reasonable would realise that all you are trying to do at the end of the day is revert vandalism. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) ☺ 15:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Offer from Emir34
Hi Alexnia. I am Emir34. I am looking for an editor to adopt. I have just offered adoption on your user page. Please contact me at my talk page/discussion if you want me as your/an adopter. I would be very glad/happy if you granted/accepted my offer. Or/if you deny, you can look for another adopter/editor/Wikipedian for an offer.

Re: The Magna Carta School, and reverting older vandalism
Hi Alexnia! I hear you, but I think it's a counsel of perfection. There are times when I notice earlier vandalism and revert further, but I don't think it's sensible to read the whole article each time. Better for those of us who do RCP to revert what we see happening as it happens, and leave the stale vandalism to those who have the pages on their watchlist and those who do article clean-up.

P.S. I notice that you used to use Huggle, and you've stopped. May I ask why? Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
