 Tide  rolls  05:05, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

In looking over your contributions I think I owe you a fuller explanation. I am using a tool that allows for faster reverting. I thought you were also using the software or I wouldn't have given you as flippant a response. My apologies. If you want to continue vandal-scrubbing, build up a bit more manual edits and a bit more time at the task and I'd be glad to change your user rights so that you would be able to make use of this tool. Anyway, it's an idea. Regards  Tide  rolls  05:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. I haven't spent a lot of time (yet) actively seeking vandals- spend more time copy-editing. I sometimes find vandalism that way: seems like many vandals are bad spellers, too. VictorianMutant (talk) 05:27, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * We're glad to have your help regardless of what task(s) you choose. Feel free to message me if you should have any questions or concerns.   Tide  rolls  05:40, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:1893secondcourthouse.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:1893secondcourthouse.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:05, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Brevard County
Thanks for the heads up. Much improved.

You do realize, don't you, that the article was too long to start with? Will need to be forked to a new article and summarized in the main article, once it stabilizes. We will probably be the first county article to have it's own history!!! Incredible!

I best discuss the remainder of items on the article discussion page, for permanence and visibility. Student7 (talk) 03:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Would you like to construct a "History of Brevard County" (new article). You would get "credit" for that, such as it is! I will help if you do. If not, I will do it. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 01:59, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I could try to do it in the next few days. VictorianMutant (talk) 02:49, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Brevard County (more)
Thank you so much for the very thoughtful heads-up. My main interest in this article was cleaning up the Film and TV section. It looks like you have added a lot of great content; great work! RadioBroadcast (talk) 03:10, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Patrolling
I see from your userpage that you find it frustrating trying to revert vandalism because others have tools you don't. Have you ever seen Special:Contributions/newbies? It's a good place to find vandalism by noobs, and has a lot less traffic. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 09:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. I vaguely knew there was a changes for newbies page, but didn't know where to find it. I think somehow you misunderstood my feelings towards vandalism fighting though. If I stop vandalism fighting because others are regularly "beating me" in reverting vandals, it's not because I'm frustrated; it's because I assume the vandal fighter to vandal ratio is high so I go "where I am needed" more. I do think it's a good thing when lots of people are fighting vandals- it means I can go back to encyclopedia building instead of vandal fighting. If needed though, I do have twinkle... VictorianMutant (talk) 20:36, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Even better - as you point out, there are a lot of vandal fighting editors, and not enough adding quality content. Have fun! 69.181.249.92 (talk) 03:26, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Was about to ask why you haven't registered yet, but then saw your talk page. I actually contributed for the longest time as an IP, but got sick of overzealous people assuming bad faith just because I was an IP. Wondered what would happen if I nominated "69.181.249.92" for RfA? VictorianMutant (talk) 09:29, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks...
....for the Editor Review. I had no intention of running for admin until at least next March as I have my Bar Mitzva coming up in February. At the beginning when I did that RfA I was just overly excited. It was extremely stupid and in the long run hasn't helped me in any way. With the edits to mainspace, I think I'll do that. It'll take me a while to get 1000 mainspace if I'm only on weekends I think. I've contributed a little to GoCE and think I'll continue that. Thanks very1000 much for the Review and the good advice. Cheers,  Mr. R00t    Talk  14:06, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

For your work at Editor review

 * Crap! You beat me! Well yeah, VM, your editor reviews are short and sweet. Makes me want to have one myself... Buggie111 (talk) 02:35, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I try to be positive, because I hate being hard on people who ask for constructive criticism. I think the purpose of an editor review is to encourage the editor, not discourage them to the point where they might leave the project. VictorianMutant (talk) 04:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for the review you left me. I greatly appreciate it. You made excellent points about why I should work in the mainspace. I don't think my content writing skills are great, and in my opinion, one should stick to what they excel at. However, like I said, you made excellent points, and who knows? You just might see an article by me. It doesn't have to be perfect right off the bat, right? So thank you again, you're comments are greatly appreciated, and I will keep them in mind, for sure. Just one thing though. Who says my userpage isn't pretty? Kidding, I know.

Rollback granted
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. --Mkativerata (talk) 07:02, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will put it to good use. VictorianMutant (talk) 07:04, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Puzzled
Hi, I happened to notice this on User talk:TYelliot, and I'm a bit puzzled about this warning on a new user's ) talk page who's only contributions were two innocent edits on his own userpage and talkpage. Could it be that you accidentally made a mistake? I have removed the warning on the user's talk page, which do not resort under wp:BLP. Please also have look at wp:TPG: a user is entitled to write this in his own user space. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 10:06, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps the user created a new page attacking someone, added more attacks, and then it was tagged for speedy deletion and deleted by an admin causing it to not show up in the user's contributions? VictorianMutant (talk) 10:14, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't these edits be struck in the user contribution list then? DVdm (talk) 10:20, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Not if it is BLP, I think- I don't see the edit for the tag I placed on the article in my contribs. See deletion log (09:32, 25 September 2010 JohnCD (talk | contribs) deleted "Martin Sludden" ‎ (G10: Attack page or negative unsourced BLP). Also see deleted edits here VictorianMutant (talk) 10:24, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I reverted back to my version of the user talk page (with the legitimate warning) not because I am playing tit for tat, but simply because if they do it again... they can be warned at an appropriate level instead of as a first time violation. VictorianMutant (talk) 11:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, that article was deleted. On the user's contribution list there is no visible trace of this kind of abuse anywhere, but this tool provides the evidence. I notice that you re-inserted the warning on the talk page. Thanks, and also for the pointer to the tool. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 11:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I had actually filed an AIV report earlier, but he did briefly move it to the talkpage. It's getting a bit annoying now... I wouldn't have bothered, except that this seems to be a perpetual issue on that article. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 07:29, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice the discussion on the talk page until after I reported. I think article should be semi-protected... looks like this has been long term. VictorianMutant (talk)

Editor review
Yeah, it's a little dated. I've gone much more CCM/Political over the past few months, and have not updated since then. But your tips are really great, and thanks for taking the time to do it. How do you get more into vandal fighting; I've done some on a much smaller wiki, but attacks there are usually short and the mess is cleaned up in minutes. <font color="green" face="Mistral">Toa  <font color="green" face="Mistral">Nidhiki <font color="green" face="Mistral">05  18:43, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Best way to start is to follow Recent changes. Just go to the "diff" column and compare what was there before with what is there now. It takes a while to get the hang of it, but once you get better (and faster) at it, you'll be able to spot pages which likely have vandalism or "test" edits. Do check out this page and read it and any links and you'll be on your way. VictorianMutant (talk) 18:55, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * About your editor review .... I found Toa Niodhiki's answers to the opening questions somewhat strange myself, but on further inspection, I saw that those answers were given way back in March and given that tidbit of info ... the answers probably were accurate at the time.

Tim Wakefield
For the record, user 68.84.31.33  appears to be engaged in trivial vandalism in the Satellite Beach, Florida. Student7 (talk) 12:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay . How are they engaging in "trivial" vandalism? They made two edits: The first was referenced with a citation from Florida Today (don't know why you reverted it- it was spot on). The second listed Tim Wakefield as being from Satellite Beach (which sounds like perhaps original research- maybe he did live there), but even if he was from Melbourne, it's still not blatant vandalism, IMHO. VictorianMutant (talk) 21:55, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I missed the referenced item. He has edited in Wakefield before and ignored my complaints. As far as anyone knows, or has researched, Wakefield lived in Melbourne and attended school in Eau Gallie (for sure EG) NOT Satellite Beach. It's just routine vandalism. We get thousands of these a year in the sites I watch. Attributing a wrong city to a sports or musical figure.


 * I am seeing no references to Wakefield or anyone else. He is linked, of course. He has his own bio which says "Melbourne." If this changes, he will definitely need a cite. But it's vandalism. He won't be able to come up with one. Student7 (talk) 01:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Sometimes determining where an athlete or other celebrity is from is problematic. Take for instance Ray Lewis who is from Polk County Florida. He was born in Bartow, pretty much lived his entire childhood and adolescence in Mulberry, and went to high school in Lakeland (Kathleen High School). I know all these things for a fact because I grew up at the same time he did in Polk County. If I were to add Ray Lewis to the Mulberry article as a famous native, that would be original research, not vandalism. I've not been able to find a source online to back what I know up, so this is original research. If I were to add it anyway(hypothetically) some could come to the conclusion tht it was vandalism, but IMO the bar for vandalism is a lot higher than that. VictorianMutant (talk) 01:51, 29 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree on what you are saying. It was not vandalism, but original research when it was first added, but it was the second, etc. without any ref or response to previous editors. This happens all the time with local athletes (and one comedian). Kids in every town try to claim him. The first time I can overlook. Subsequent times are clearly for annoyance purposes. Student7 (talk) 01:52, 2 October 2010 (UTC)


 * For the record, the kid was "sort of" right. Just wrong city. He lives in Indian Harbour Beach. I've added it there. He finally engaged me on my talk page and we straightened it out. Student7 (talk) 19:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Highland City - List of First Councilmen
I'd like to know more about why you removed my list of the first (and only) councilmen for Highland City (when it was incorporated)? The city was only incorporated for a year or so. I understand that a list of current councilmen might not be encyclopedic, but the very first and only members seem to be an important set of individuals in the history of the (one time) town. Is there a standard of which I am unaware that proscribes such a list, or is this your interpretation? -FloridaIsMyCountry (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I have rolled-back my edit of Highland City. Looking through the edit history of the article, your edits to Highland City did vastly improve the article, so although I think the table of town officers in 1925 is a little "overkill"... in retrospect, I don't think the table does any harms. Personally. I think if Highland City were incorporated today, then a list of current city officers would be encyclopedic(not in the history section, but in a government section, of course). If it were an article I was actively working on, I would have simply listed the mayor, perhaps the councilmen as well, but used prose rather than a table. As for a standard, I think the table falls under a few of the areas of WP:NOT, but that is open to interpretation. <font face="Verdana">Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant (talk) 01:52, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Follow up: I have thought about expanding the Highland City article at some point. Since you seem to be one of the few editors who've contributed positively to the article, I value your feedback and definitely don't want to step on any toes because you are a valued member of the community. I would like to get it up to at least "B" maybe even "GA" status. Don't know how feasible that would be (although Stephens City, Virginia, a town smaller than Highland City made it all the way to featured article), but the article has a lot of potential. I have more thoughts on how to expand it- if you want to help, let me know. Thanks, <font face="Verdana">Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant (Talk) 04:27, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Consecutive vandalism edits
Please try to revert *all* the vandalism edits to a page, not just one of them; I am aware that you need to be careful about that problem when using STiki.

My edit wasn't vandalism, and I don't know how you could construe it as such; all I did was clarify that Brian May joined the recording process late, because under the previous wording, it sounded as though he wasn't a part of the album at all. 64.206.62.227 (talk) 07:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

THANKS!!!
I wanted to thank you for your kind and encouraging response to my plea for help in writing my article. Sorry it took so long for me to discover it, I'm pretty Wikipedia ignorant. Your advice was constructive and well received. I appreciate it very much and now know what I need to do differently. When I make updates, might I ask you to look at it again?

Question
Firstly, please let me say thank you for taking the time to review me and for your kind words. I will definitely take your advice on board! I just had a question; if you knew that the Ivan Samylovsky had been created by an OTRS emailer rather than myself, would that have swayed your review?

Thank you again and I apologise if this is impertinent of me. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * No need to apologize, I'm here to help! I did forget to mention your contributions at OTRS which is a big help. I think someone else e-mailing it would have swayed my opinion just a bit, but I think the review is applicable. I often tell people to find one article, make it their own, and take it as far as you can go with it, and doing that would make you a pretty sure bet at Rfa. I've seen you at Rfa pretty frequently so I know you know about the common "Oppose due to lack of content creation". You are an asset to the project, and I'd like to see you have a successful Rfa someday. :) <font face="Verdana">Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant (Talk) 19:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

10,000
Hi Victorian mutant, I noticed your 10,000 edit comment at Panyd's editor review. It used to be that 10,000 was the maximum at RFA, if you hadn't passed before you had 10,000 edits then the supposition was that you wouldn't. Those days are gone, and there doesn't seem to be a maximum, the de facto minima nowadays is probably between 3000 and 4000 on EN wiki, though I gather it is 10,000 on DE wiki. If 10,000 is your personal criteria you are of course free to be more picky than almost everyone else, but please be careful not to give people the wrong impression at RFA as people have waltzed through this year with far less than 10,000, this one was unanimous at 8,200.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  15:59, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your concern... if you look at what I look for in Rfa candidates here, you will see I don't really list a minimum number, because I look for someone who has shown trustworthiness and that can happen in 3,000 edits or less. I do have a personal standard for myself (I wouldn't think of accepting an Rfa with less than 10,000 edits). I haven't opposed anyone for not having a certain amount of total edits, although I have opposed for not having enough content-related edits. Sure, there have been recent Rfa's in which the editor had less than 10,000 edits (here and here for example), but those tend to be the exception rather than the rule. Go through the history of recent Rfa's and you will see plenty of editors who weren't ready for an Rfa (some with far greater than 10,000 edits).
 * You talk about 'being "careful" not to give people the wrong impression at RFA', but I've never brought up edit count at Rfa. I do occasionally bring it up at editor review which I see as almost a "heart to heart" chat from one editor to another. More often than not, I will tell editors to wait before seeking an Rfa... sometimes (such as here) I'll express that in terms of time, other times- I tell them that in terms of number of edits. And I think the cautious, prudent advice when giving an editor review is telling editors to be patient and concentrate on their weaknesses before seeking another Rfa. At editor review, I see a lot of good editors who get "antsy" about being nominated at Rfa. Many editors overestimate their chances at Rfa, and to not tell an editor who says they seek an Rfa soon that their chances at Rfa might not be that great is a tragedy (see here and here). I hate seeing productive editors going through a nasty, failed Rfa because they aren't ready and I think it's better to err on the side of caution by telling them to wait (for Rfa) at an editor review than to encourage them to "do it now!" I think I try to keep the reviews positive... I've even been accused of being too nice at editor review. But I don't focus on edit counts at editor review... it's mostly mentioned in passing. If you were to accuse me of telling them to focus on building content... well, that I'm definitely guilty of. :) <font face="Verdana">Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant (Talk) 20:08, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi it was your comment "Try to get up to 10,000 edits because that seems to be where the "minimum" for Rfa seems to be now" that prompted my comment.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  18:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it was a bad choice of words, but I do err on the side of caution when giving Rfa advice at editor review. The advice I give at editor review and the way I vote at Rfa are two different things. Are there those out there who would oppose someone simply because they have less than 10,000 edits? Probably... but I'm not one of them. I actually think most of your Rfa criteria is spot on and think Rfa's have become way too incivil at times (especially the ones on the "bubble") which is why I tend to tell candidates to wait. <font face="Verdana">Victorian<font color="#008000">Mutant (Talk) 20:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

GOCE Drive – Final push
Greetings GOCE Backlog elimination drive participant, We are now coming up to the last few days of the drive, the last for 2010. Currently, it looks like we will achieve our target for reducing the backlog by 10%, however, we still have huge numbers for 2009. We have 55 participants in this drive. If everyone just clears 2 articles each, we will reduce the backlog by a further 110 articles. If everyone can just do 3 articles, we will hit 165. If you have yet to work on any articles and have rollover words, remember that you do need to copyedit at least a couple of articles in this drive for your previous rollover to be valid for the next drive. There are many very small articles that will take less than 5-10 minutes to copyedit. Use CatScan to find them. Let's all concentrate our firepower on the first three months of 2009 as we approach the end of this final drive for the year. Thank you once again for participating, and see you at the finish line! – SMasters (talk) 04:02, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

RE:November 2011
I've been on Wikipedia for almost 2 years now (next month on the 20th) and I'm a trusted member of the community known not to make nonconstructive edits. If you were reverting my edits using a software that automatically gave me a message, then that's all right, but warning me otherwise was not necessary. I was reverting apparent nonconstructive editing myself when I made that contribution, and I can safely say that every edit I make is sworn on the Holy Bible to be constructive. Please explain why you warned me if it was manual. <font color="#004730" face="Trebuchet MS">Beluga <font color="#FF2400" face="Trebuchet MS">boy ''cup of tea? 23:11, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
