Thank you so much for blocking User:Chikorita  Angel Of Sadness  T / C  22:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. Happy to help :-) Will (aka Wimt ) 22:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
That was certainly some interesting vandalism you reverted on the Third Servile War. :-) Mdotley 23:56, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe yeah. I guess I'll just have to carry on living my lie ;-) Will (aka Wimt ) 23:57, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I still remember when you reverted vandalism on my user page back in April. NHRHS2010  Talk  01:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

It's ten o'clock, do you know where your kids are?
We certainly do! Thanks for the cleanup. --CliffC 02:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Surprise!


For your anti-vandal efforts, and for reverting much more vandalism than RickK!  Lra drama 11:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow hehehe thank you very much indeed :D A personalised award - that's really one to treasure! I really appreciate it. Best regards. Will (aka Wimt ) 11:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for reverting the vandalism off of my user page today, your fast response was much appreciated Trusilver 17:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Always happy to be of assistance! Will (aka Wimt ) 18:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Oops
Did I just block you? Meant to block the vandal.... anyway nevermind. Evercat 01:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe no worries :-) Will (aka Wimt ) 01:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm writing because the vandal at this article is continuously going at it, and I made a report at the Vandalism area, but I'm not sure if it was ok or not. Would you like to check it out, please? Thanks. --Mushii 16:09, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey there - sorry about the late reply. I have blocked that vandal for 24 hours :-) The best way to report a vandal who is active at the current time and has been warned is to do so at WP:AIV because lots of admins keep a close watch of that page. Hope that helps! Will (aka Wimt ) 16:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

From, Speckle
Hi Will, I thought this might be easier for you instead of having to click back and forward from my talk page. Anyway, I tried your box and got.... Invalid raw signature; check HTML tags. I'm stumped. Speckle 22:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I appreciate it. As reward for helping me heres your prize! =D Speckle


 * Hey, sorry it took so long to reply I was offline... Anyway, I'll try. =| Speckle

Thank you!
For dealing with the vandal of Morton's page. It was getting so the text size was keeping me from being able to revert, lol. (without breaking out VP) I appreciate your speedy response! Ariel ♥ Gold 12:11, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Glad I could help :-) Good work reverting! Will (aka Wimt ) 12:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Blocking 217.141.249.203
Noticed you blocked them; how about also blocking 195.76.242.227 while you're at it? Check this edit they made to the Romani people page, nearly identical to the one that got 217... blocked. +ILike2BeAnonymous 18:04, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the delay - I've been away from my computer. Seeing as that article seems to be being hit by vandalism from a number of IPs, I've semiprotected it for 24 hours. Regards. Will (aka Wimt ) 20:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Semiprotection of config pages
Okay, how did you divine I was going to request semi-protection of my bot's config page fully 12 hours before I asked for it? :-) &mdash; Coren (talk) 04:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's Magical Wimt... *hums tunelessly* :) ~ Riana ⁂ 04:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hehe actually Wikihermit asked me on your behalf on IRC based on your comments at the bot approval page. But I do quite like the idea that I might be magical... :-) Will (aka Wimt ) 06:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * No, being magical is the full job of Magical_KFP. Duh. —  «  A NIMUM   »  15:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:AIV
Dear Will, thank you for the discussion. This is not about Wiki disputes, this is about people's lives. The issue raised IS simple and obvious vandalism. Whatever the user has done before, this particular incident IS simple, because of policy 'WP:Verifiability' - "Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources", and therefore the edit, just needs an immediate revert. This is URGENT, the other routes of ANI are lengthy processes and, from an ethical point of view, health professionals need the updated information IMMEDIATELY to diagnose and treat patients accurately, rather than misdiagnose patients with outdated information. For the sake of patients, could this one edit just be reverted, please? --Standardname 23:58, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, this is not simple and obvious vandalism. Something that needs a long thread to explain isn't suitable for WP:AIV. That's not to cast any judgements on your dispute with DreamGuy, but WP:AIV certainly isn't the correct venue for them. I have given you a number of suggestions for better venues for discussion on your talk page. If the situation is "urgent" then I suggest you go about it in the correct routes because AIV will get you nowhere. Will (aka Wimt ) 00:02, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandal fighting question
Hi. Since you are an experienced vandalfighter, I would like to ask you how to define when to use an editing test note and when to use a vandalism note on user pages. I generally consider random insertion of characters or words to be editing tests and consider page blaking or insertion of vulgar comments to be vandalism. I have read Vandalism but this is not explained very clearly. Thanks.Tbo 157 23:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply which was helpful as I just wanted the opinion of an experienced vandal fighter. Quite often I have seen blatant vandalism or only warning notes on user pages, which in my opinion were just test edits.Tbo 157 00:01, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

User:58.165.234.128
Er? I happened across the contributions for this currently blocked user. Empty or not, threats of death surely warrant a longer block than 24 hours? Methinks the user is inviting an indefinite, seeing as how he/she went for Jimbo's talk page? Ref (chew) (do) 00:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if this were a user account, I'd agree with you and I would certainly have indef blocked. However, IP addresses are often shared by multiple users and may also be dynamically assigned. Therefore, in the first instance, IP addresses are nearly always blocked for a period of 24 hours. If, when the block expires, they persist in vandalising then, rest assured, they will be blocked for increasingly long periods of time. Regards. Will (aka Wimt ) 00:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I need to get into contact with H. Do you know how? -- D ef en d er 9 11  ( Leave a message! ) 00:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to contact him, I would suggest email. However, as you have been told by others, please leave this complicated matter to rest now. Thank you. Will (aka Wimt ) 01:00, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

He's created it again ;-) -- P.B. Pilhet  02:31, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism of my page

 * Will, President Brueau has edited his page. You may want to look. Politics rule 21:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I replied to him. Thanks for letting me know. Will (aka Wimt ) 21:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Your welcome! Politics rule 21:28, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
For unblanking my page. What's funny is that the user did that in response to me reverting some other user pages he had blanked. Eran of Arcadia 17:00, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe you're welcome. Will (aka Wimt ) 17:14, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Could you block him? He keeps blanking Kingston College (British Columbia). Thanks. GreenJoe 00:58, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Blocked :-) Will (aka Wimt ) 01:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you!! :) GreenJoe 01:08, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem! Will (aka Wimt ) 01:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Wrongful Accusation
I got your message about my "vandalism"...I'm not mad at you, I just wanted you to know that I personally haven't done any of those things. My friend thinks my account may have been hacked, so I'm changing my password...Thanks for your anti-vandalism actions! User_talk:parkerandbarrowinc 19:51, 16 August 2007

My question
Hello I am new to the talk pages so please bear with me. That new guy who keeps doing acts of vandalism on the video game console is annoying? I am wondering if there is a club where I can undo peoples vandalism like I did to his vandalism. P.S. Respond on my talk page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Monkeybread (talk • contribs).

Thanks!!!

Tîrgu Mureş
Hi,

I wish to move the Târgu Mureş page from Târgu Mureş category to Tîrgu Mureş category. Can I do this? And is risky? How can the redirects to be fixed? As I explained there .. Tîrgu Mureş is correct, that's how is written in ID cards, driving licenses, city hall, prefecture and "almost" every oficial place. So I don't know if i have to create a new category or just change the category in the article ... sorry for trouble, and thanks in advance Elmao 10:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey there. I don't know anything about the correct spelling myself I am afraid, but if there is a consensus to change the category name, the easiest way would be to create the new category with the correct name and then alter all the pages in the category so they appear in the one with the correct spelling. Luckily, as there do not appear to be too many pages in the category, this isn't as big a job as it otherwise might've been but it still means editing a fair few pages! Regards. Will (aka Wimt ) 16:49, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much.. I think when i will have a little time i will give a try.Elmao 18:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
