You've been doing great work so far, and I'd love for you to keep it up! Please let me know if you have any questions, but I'd prefer to move forward when possible! Jackson Peebles (talk) 06:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

CSD
Hi, I changed the CSD criteria on Emad Faghot to G10, as I see it as an attack page. Thanks, Mat  ty. 007 09:03, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough (I was tempted to do the same myself!) PantherLeapord&#124;My talk page&#124;My CSD log 09:04, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

That crazy IP
I'm going to revert him again on Shake Weight, but I worry about blocks for edit warring. Sometimes they just get handed out across the board if the admin is unobservant, and the record is mighty hard to expunge, so take care, brudda. Jus da  fax   11:51, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:3RR specifies that there are exceptions for reverting blatant vandalism and the blocking admin agrees that it was vandalism so AFAIK there is no danger on that front. PantherLeapord&#124;My talk page&#124;My CSD log 11:53, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * In any case he's been blocked for a week, which is really light in my view. I am tempted to ask for an extension somewhere, but anyway, thanks! Jus  da  fax   11:56, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * No worries. The admins are usually generous with shared IP's as they want to minimize collateral damage which is reasonable enough. Although if that IP resumes the edit war then they'll probably be staring down the barrel of months of blocked time... PantherLeapord&#124;My talk page&#124;My CSD log 11:58, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

3RR at Swaminarayan
I came very, very close to blocking you for your reverts at Swaminarayan - I counted 5 in the space of a couple of hours but for now I'm going to assume good faith and give you the benefit of the doubt. Although I'd agree that the edits at Shake Weight are blatant vandalism and so fall under one of the 3RR exceptions the edit to this page are not, nor do they full under any of the other exceptions. As such you have broken 3RR and could be blocked, but as I believe you may have misunderstood what constitutes an exception to 3RR I'm not going to at this time. Please be more careful, and seek admin help in future, rather than continuing to revert as you did here. Dpmuk (talk) 16:55, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Despite my warning above that this was not a valid exception to 3RR you still went ahead and reverted again. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Dpmuk (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2013 (UTC)


 * I normally like to let a different admin deal with unblock requests where I did the block so as to allow a second opinion. However as no one else has been along yet I will comment here.  In general we like to see an explanation of your understanding of why what you did was wrong as well as an undertaking not to do it gain as if a user doesn't understand why their actions were against wikipedia policy then we can't be sure they won't do it again. Dpmuk (talk) 21:24, 9 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Considering the block has already expired it's kind of a moot point by now anyway PantherLeapord&#124;My talk page&#124;My CSD log 22:48, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

August 2013
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on User talk:Apteva. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ''This is just about the most pointless edit was I have ever seen. It makes no difference either way, so why fight about it?'' Beeblebrox (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Administrative Actions and Practical
Hey, I was just looking through some of the administrative actions, above, and I just wanted to remind you that you can always approach me or another editor for help if you're in a multi-reversion situation and that you can report the user to AIV. I'm sure you've already had quite enough lecturing, so I'll stop at that, just know that we're here to help.

Finally, remember you ONLY have the practical left. Considering how much work that you've done, it shouldn't be a problem for you, at all. I want you to graduate! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 14:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I am just waiting for another RfA... PantherLeapord&#124;My talk page&#124;My CSD log 21:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations on graduating
Congratulations on graduation from my adopt-a-user course! I consider it to be the most rigorous on Wikipedia, and I really am proud of the work that you've done. Please keep it in mind in your edits on Wikipedia. You're listed permanently at my adoption center as a graduate, and here are some awards to go along with it:

Barnstar for Jackson
Wow, that was very nice of you to make that barnstar for Jackson. What a really great idea. I agree with you that he is a great mentor and happy that you took the time to give him a thumbs up. Good job!! Oh and congrats on doing so well on your exams in the adoption program too. You are an incentive to me to do the best I can on my exams. Thank you!!
