Your AIV report
Thanks for filing a report at WP:AIV. However, I did not block the user you reported, because the edit history shows he has not edited a page in quite some time.

To clarify, here's what most administrators expect to see before issuing a block:
 * 1) User vandalizes a page
 * 2) You warn them with or
 * 3) User vandalizes again
 * 4) You warn them again with
 * 5) User vandalizes again
 * 6) You issue a last warning with
 * 7) User vandalizes again
 * 8) You report them to AIV

This all needs to take place within a reasonable span of time. How long is up to the individual administrator, but most expect at least the latest one or two warnings to have been issued and ignored within the past 30-60 minutes. A day or two at the very most. We block users to protect Wikipedia, not to punish them. If they're not vandalizing on a regular basis, blocking them isn't effective.

Hope that clears things up. I know it's a long process, but we want to give everyone enough chances to mend their ways before we block them. Yes, it wastes a lot of time, but it's the only way to keep Wikipedia free for everyone. Thanks again for your efforts at fighting vandalism. If you follow those steps, you'll have better success at AIV in the future. Thanks again - Kafziel Talk 19:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BMA Logo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:BMA Logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
