 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * My main area of activity is Account Creations and en-accounts IRC. While working ACC I've become familiar with IP ranges and blocks, by no means am I saying I know all about them, but I think I have a basic foundation. I have never been blocked, I've reported users and IP addresses to AIV numerous times. I also do regular article edits ie. fixing links, spelling and so on. I honestly feel my edits, contributions and demeanor are in good standing.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * The vandalism I've dealt with very often involves "Rollback", "Huggle" and "Twinkle", I have been highly active with those areas and tools. I also have rollback rights on Simple Wiki, but nowhere near the same edit counts.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I would like to help out with "repeat vandals", and continue curbing and reverting vandalism.

How familiar are you with wikimarkup? Netalarm talk  03:59, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Answer: I originally knew it as "Wikify", I don't know every rule of the top of my head, but I can recognize when article is in poor condition due to "wikimarkup". This is one of the tags I work with using "Kissle" and in my short but continuing help at AfC. Mlpearc  pull my chain   'Tribs  04:23, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I essentially try and prevent vandalism that I see on the various threads I view. Most of such corrections I've done before making a user-name, but I definitely feel the need to officially join and help out as much as I can.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * I am relatively new in regards to official abuse response, but I consistently corrected mistakes, however small, when I see them on Wikipedia articles.

 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * As I mentioned earlier, I have greatly benefited from the abundant plethora of information that Wikipedia has to offer, and so I would definitely likely to help out. I've realized that such accurate and usually reliable information is a privilege I take for granted because there are others monitoring Wikipedia abuse, and I would like to be part of that project.

Reject, on the basis of too new a user. Phearson (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Moral support Your edits show us that you are genuinely interested in improving Wikipedia, which is great. You'll want to edit more and possibly explore WP:ANI, WP:AIV, WP:SPI, and WP:WQA more to gain an advanced understanding of Wikipedia's counter abuse procedures. Come back in a short while, I'm sure that if you continue on your current path, you'll be approved easily. Netalarm talk 19:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) What are your primary contributions to Wikipedia? Please address any blocks/AIV threads you may have here.
 * Well, I started back in December, and started off primairly as a vandal fighter, gaining rollback rights. I frequently use a combination of Huggle and Twinkle to revert, warn and report vandals. Recently I have started to branch out into other areas, for example SCV, AFC and am trying to revive WP:BEDS. I have a clean block log, have never been given any warnings,and have never acted un-civily.
 * 1) What experience do you have in dealing with vandalism on Wikipedia?
 * I've been on Wikipedia nearly half a year, and have a good knowledge of polciies on vandalism, cp infrigment, blocking and other that are relevant to Abuse Response.
 * 1) Why do you want to join the abuse response project?
 * I've filed quite a few abuse reports in the past, and would now like to give something back and start helping out, and I think Abuse Response genuinley does deter some vandals from vandalising. Therefore, I would love to be part of it

Edits analysis Just thought I'd drop this here if anyone wants to see it. Acather96, according to this, 74.63% of your edits are done with automated tools, which means that you have around 2000 manual edits. While this is not a problem, I think more experience would be helpful. Could you run a WHOIS on 208.80.152.2 and post the registered owner on this page? Thanks. Netalarm talk 21:24, 22 June 2010 (UTC
 * The IP is registered with 'Wikimedia Foundation Inc' and was registered on the 23rd of July 2007. Hope this answers your question :) Thanks,Acather96 (talk) 06:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * - Could you elaborate on this Edit and subsequent Warning, Thank you  Mlpearc   pull my chain   'Tribs  02:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, in retrospect this probably should have not warranted a reversion with warning. I have removed the warning and apologised to the editor. Thanks,Acather96 (talk) 07:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. Is there any particular article or project that you've worked on and are particularly proud of? Netalarm <font color="#FF9933">talk 22:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

There is no article I have worked on that I would say I was particularly proud of, though I am currently trying to get Battle of Dornock up to B-Class, an article I re-wrote. However, as mentioned above, I am the current co-ordinator of WikiProject Bedfordshire and am trying to revive the project. I have created an assessment page, a welcoming page,a project barnstar and this and this template to help with project member organisation. Please also have a look around the project page, talk and subpages for more contribs to the project. Thanks,Acather96 (talk) 20:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm currently working on getting George Washington to GA Status, I am also a member of the Guild of Copy Editors, WikiProject Politics, Articles for Creation and Deletion Discussion.

 * Hello and welcome! Overall you look like a great contributor. The only questions I have are, do you understand the purpose of Abuse Response and do you understand how to decipher whois reports, IP ranges, etc?   Thorncrag    08:01, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Who would you contact to report abuse coming from this IP address? Bear in mind that the ISP isn't always the only responsible organization for an IP address.    Thorncrag    19:14, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Well the ISP does provide an IP Admin and Abuse Response email, but I don't think that's relevant. I don't really know outside the ISP, if I were an admin I could ban a certain IP range if I know for certain the users from that IP range are all problematic then I would type 12.130.11.* into the block control panel then any IP beginning with 12.130.11 would be affected by the block/ban but since IPs vary from area to area only the IP range banned would affect users from a certain area. <font color="Red" face="Tahoma">Fridae'§Doom &#124; <font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">Spare your time?  01:12, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

While signing guestbooks and socializing with other Wikipedians is okay to a limited extent, it seems that you do that a lot. I get the impression that you're just joining various Wikipedia projects to get the userboxes and just to be able to say "I'm part of ***". For example, here you late co-nominate someone when it doesn't look like you're all that familiar with their edits, so I see this just as another attempt to get attention. Your request to be a SPI clerk again fits the pattern of gaining "power". This is amusing, since you decide to remove established things with no discussion. Opening unjustified SPI cases, focusing on welcoming new users, joining every project you come across, and nominating yourself at abuse response when you have no understanding of WHOIS information, IP tracing, lookup, etc. show that you just want to gain permissions and power. In fact, this can be clearly seen right here. Your responses to the questions show a lack of understanding of what abuse response does and gives me the impression that you're here for the userboxes. This again makes it clear what I'm saying. I hope that you see my point and change what you do on Wikipedia. Note: There's no need to request editor reviews a week apart. + Most of your edits are welcome messages and talk page posts with little content development or project administration. Sorry if this sounds aggressive =/, but you really need to understand that Wikipedia doesn't work the way you think it does (stacking up permissions). <font color="#00AA11">Netalarm <font color="#FF9933">talk 14:06, 17 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm well aware of that, no I'm not only joining for userboxes.... that's not even a valid reason as to why I joined, I do actually use rollback and I have reviewed many articles some of which were re-reviewed many more times. I made considerable edits in George Washington, when I nominated DirectHit for DYK I was unware the hook was missing citations of which I later added. I haven't contributed much and I'm joining all these WikiProjects PURELY because I want to help out. I've overextended myself and made mistakes... often at the same time but that doesn't stop me from learning from those mistakes and doing better. I wanted a second review because Diego Grez didn't really give me a satisfactory review not that I blame him since I was unclear with my original review statements. <font color="Red" face="Tahoma">Fridae'§Doom &#124; <font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">Spare your time?  00:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Question(s) from Phearson

Question(s) from Mlpearc

Could you give a scenario where it would be appropriate to issue a level 3 warning to a vandal for their first edit of vandalism ?

You may use " %#@*& " characters for obvious selective wording, if needed. Mlpearc  powwow  06:34, 1 August 2010 (UTC)


 * A. A Vandal that has published blatant falsehoods and slander upon the page of a living person would be a scenario upon which I would issue an immediate level 3 warning. --Phoon (talk) 08:18, 1 August 2010 (UTC)-
 * Within the framework of your response, I think that you would want to issue a BLP warning, not a vandalism warning.  Thorncrag    00:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Question(s) from Netalarm

Looking over your contribution history, 77% of your edits are automated, so I'm having a hard time on finding projects/articles that you have worked on significantly. Could you provide a link to those? <font color="#00AA11">Netalarm <font color="#FF9933">talk 16:26, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * 12.130.11.180 is registered too TD AMERITRADEbank, I'd contact their ISP's (ATT)Abuse contact which is abuse@att.net.
 * The IP is actually registered to TD Banknorth, not TD AMERITRADE. Additionally, the primary contact would not be ATT, instead I would first contact the abuse handle for TD Bank, NA. This would hold true for any IP address registered to an organization in addition to an ISP.    Thorncrag    00:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Regretful oppose. Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, I must regretfully oppose at this time. You seem like you are off to a great start, and seem to be an optimistic and willing contributor so far. That being said, I am concerned that you may be taking on too much, too soon, whereas you have only been contributing for about a month. Abuse investigation is a complex and demanding activity and requires a very high degree of trust. After you gain more experience, I would certainly welcome your nomination again. Sincerely,  Thorncrag    01:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe that I could be trusted very well with this permission. I get on Wikipedia pretty often, so I don't really mind about the demanding part (if that's what you meant). Is there any other concerns you have? Endofskull (talk) 01:08, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Regretful oppose. I agree with Thorncrag. I would like to point out that Abuse Response does not revert vandalism. Abuse Response is the last resort for dealing with users who have vandalized and abused Wikipedia for along time. This position requires a great deal of trust, as we deal on a regular basis with sensitive information, and we also make contact with the users ISP.
