Same here. I don't think i would have noticed. Thx again.Caval valor 16:35, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Locke
I think you/your vandalbot was a bit overzealous in editing the John Locke page. The Hooker reference was not vandalism, unless I am mistaken and there is a legitimate philosophical reason why Hooker should be removed. --Beaker342 18:55, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

La Chienne
I've reverted La Chienne back to the redirect to the English title of the film, Isn't Life a Bitch?, as foreign films direct to their English-language titles, not to their original-language titles. This is the English-language version of Wikipedia, after all. Benzamin 16:34, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you very much for reverting vandalism on my userpage. That vandal was, ironically, angry because I warned him about vandalism. --FaerieInGrey 21:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

West Georgia
You never attended West Georgia and I pray you never do. It is a shithole. Leave my edits on the subject alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.169.196.42 (talk)
 * Please behave and contribute to the article in a civil way. There ii nothing wrong with critisism, but your edits were not constructive Rettetast 16:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

This is abuse or insults, unwarranted doctoring or blanking.
I'm not the one that was hitting Alakazam9891's userpage but this IP address is a public server. Blocking it from editing won't accomplish much.

Also, it should be noted that Alakazam9891 usually uses this IP address, along with about 20 other people so a block would hurt everybody. 70.62.46.218 18:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

How do I get templates for my user page?

Thanks! Lazylaces 01:38, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick revert of the vandalism to my user page. I do appreciate it. --JFreeman (talk) 01:38, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for your support with my RfA. My nomination succeeded. I appreciate your support. You do great work on cleaning up on vandals. Many times I've tried to fix something and you've already taken care of it. Thanks again! =) -- Gogo Dodo 22:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Userpage Revert

You may want to update your vandalism counter on your page...I just reverted vandalism. &mdash; Seadog 14:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: subst tag
Sorry bout that. In typing them out, I always end up forgetting the subst: part. Will make sure of it next time. Thanks. - xCentaur |  talk 18:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Rettetast, as a vandal-fighter I thought you might be interested in seeing this discussion. Regards, Accurizer 22:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Sex toy
Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. JDtalk 22:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * sorry J Di, for the revert of your revert. I immediately reverted my revert but you had already reverted my revert of your revert.... puuuh. :-) Happy vandalfighting. Rettetast 22:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Subst.
Thank you very much for showing me that--I had no idea. Perhaps it would be helpful to at least have a note of the "subst" idea on the template pages, for those like myself who are new.C.lettinga 02:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

thanks. will keep that in my mind. i wish you many more sucessful reverts and warning the vandals :) r u @ irc? West Brom 4ever 22:08, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edit to Middlesex

Please add Islamic Saudi Academy to your watchlist. Constant vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asdweasdwe (talk • contribs).

Lollipop Nonsense?
I did NOT add nonsense to Lollipop, thank you very much. I was adding "sucker" to the beginning because that is what they are called in various regions of the U.S. Don't tell me that that is vandalism because IT'S NOT!

Alcarinquë 20:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, I am sorry. No need to get angry. I do mistakes at RC-patrol as everybody else. Have a nice day and happy editing. Rettetast 20:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Questions re RCP
Hi. Thanks again for the earlier help with RCP templates. I would like to ask you a couple of questions...
 * At WP:RCP it says not to report vandalism to Admins unless the vandalism has occured "soon" after a final warning. How long do you consider "soon"?
 * If the vandalism is no longer "soon" do I start over with "test1"?
 * What are your criteria for issuing a "blatantvandal" warning?

Thanks! Tanaats 20:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Answered as best as i could on Tanaats talk page. Rettetast

Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage.-- danntm T C 04:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

My RFA
Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

OTP Bank image & more
Hello,

Thanks for your kind and welcoming words, and thanks for cleaning up the page as well. I uploaded the image in good faith, and to be honest, I just couldn't decide on what licence to use for it. I believe it would be useful to include the image, or one similar in the article, but I don't know how. If you have an idea, I'd be very obliged to hear from you. Also, I'm a new wikipedian, and I'm currently using two separate IDs for the two wikipedias i'm editing, ie. Hungarian and English, but I'd like to merge these, if possible, or indeed, extend its use to some other wikipedias, like german, dutch and spanish. Is it possible to use a single ID to edit all wikipedias?

Thanks for your help and should you need urgent translation of anything from the above languages, do contact me. Regards, George Adam Horváth 14:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Subst: and recent vandalisms
Yeah, I knew that put two tags on the user's talk page, but I had to make sure AIV had sufficient evidence to block that IP user. I'm glad that I could help out reverting that crap vandalism on your user page, apparently the administrators don't want to give a longer block, like three months or something similar. --Specter01010 17:57, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Newyorkbrad's RfA
