Doing anti-vandalism
Hi, I noticed you have been undoing the vandalism of an editor. Rather than get in an edit war with them, it would be best to undo their changes once or maybe twice, leaving them a message on their talk page, each time. That way the next editors who come along can consider whether to block them from editing. (I just left a message on myself, that cover all the changes you made to this point.)

Let me know if you'd be interested in using one of the anti-vandalism tools that automates this process. Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 22:17, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * One of the advantages to using a standard tool is that, since anti-vandalism editors usually make the same evaluations, you aren't put in the position of being in an anti-vandalism edit war. The articles are brought in an orderly manner, so that even if a vandal reverts, the next anti-vandalism editor will probably see it. Here's a list of tools. I use Mike's Wiki Tool, which is very fast for me, but not others, and has some limitations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cleaning_up_vandalism/Tools  Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 22:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this comment, but your statement regarding CBS Synge Street is incorrect, it is not vandalism, do you know the person in question that you keep removing from the CBS page? This is all factual, including the link to the discogs page, do you think it was just plucked from thin air? If this is not the correct place to put this comment please let me know.

 * My apologies if he is really notable - the description of him appeared to be one of those schoolboy attempts at getting importance. If you leave out the tea boy and T shirt bits and concentrate on his area of achievement, it'll give a more encylopaedic look to it. I take it he's a musician. Not in my areas, I think (classical, folk, world and metal). One source of trouble on Wikipedia is that people use it (or rather, try to use it...) as a vehicle for boosting a business or career. It's not for that. There could be new sites opened (WikiSpam and WikiPuff?) for these things. Might suggest it some time.....
