 * You'd be paired with an experienced counter-vandal who will help you understand the role you can play in protecting the Encyclopedia. Specifically, you'll be instructed on how to Identify, Revert, Warn, and Report the vandal, as well as having an experienced user to review your work and offer constructive feedback on how to become even better.
