User talk:Smidra

Hey Smidra, thanks for the heads up about that vandal and for cleaning up vandalism! It looks like they stopped for now, I'll keep an eye on them though. If they keep it up and I'm not around, you can report them to WP:AIV following the directions there (assuming they've been given the appropriate warnings in the few hours previously (I use uw-vandalism1 for the first offense, uw-vandalism2 for the second that day, and so on up to 4, after which you can report them to WP:AIV).  Another word of advice; I'd use the templates rather than giving individual messages; not only is it quicker, but I also think that some of these kids are egged on when they get attention.  I think it's better to just act like it doesn't phase you, like you're just telling them a rap.  That way they'll get bored and go play outside or something.  If you insult them, frequently that encourages them to act out more, because now they have an audience or an authority figure to thwart.  Anyway, I blather on.  Thanks again for your anti-vandal work, definitely let me know if you need anything. Peace, delldot   talk  01:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
