RC Patrol
To patrol recent changes (edits) go to the recent changes page which can be found in the Navigation tool bar on the left hand side of the page or here: Special:Recentchanges. The click through the recent changes. Using the "diff" button is a good way to compare the current edit with the old one. When you find where someone has vandalised something you can manually remove the vandalisation or you can revert the page. (take paticular note of this: "Be sure to add the word "revert" (or "rv") to the edit summary, along with a short explanation if not obvious."). Also, when you discover vandalisation, it may be advisable to warn the vandal on their talk page. To do this there are several templates to use which can be found here: RC_patrol. That page also has all the other information you might want on RC patrol.

No personal attacks, please
With regards to your comments on User talk:VKokielov: Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. "Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users." Please keep this in mind while editing. Thanks. Avenue 03:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Please do not remove warnings from your talk page. Removing or altering warnings from your talk page will not remove them from the page history. If you continue to remove or vandalize warnings from your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. -- Avenue 00:33, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Moved from WP:AIV
Hi, Pat. Daniel Bryant (a.k.a. Killfest) left these messages to you at WP:AIV. I was cleaning up over there, but wasn't sure whether you had seen them, so I'm moving them here — if you have seen them, feel free to remove them. Thanks! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Make sure you go through the stages of giving them level 1-3 warnings, even if they vandalised only yesterday. Start the warning scale fresh, and don't just jump to level 4 straight away, unless an admin has placed the template saying "this user is a known persistant vandal, and any further vandalism edits may result in a ban" at the top of the user talk page.

 * Pat, make sure you don't add the "blocked" templates to users - let the admins do that when they actually block them.  K i ll fe s t 2  06:14, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the tags that you placed on this article because there is a current AfD debate going on here. Kevin 09:16, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi I think the warning you gave to was probably a bit too over the top.  I didn't see the edit to Intelligent Design as vandalism but as a meaningful clarification- it was in context and sensible.  The article is a sensitive topic of course and there has been vandalism previously from that IP.  Regards--A Y Arktos\talk 09:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Same with, who has never recieved a warning. It's hardly fair to threaten an immediate block before even explaining our policies. Also, the July 16 edit was not simple vandalism - the incident in question did in fact occur.  Λυδ α  cιτγ  13:31, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
