Sorry for replying late. You didn't sign your post so I actually didn't know that you left a message. But I'll happily take over the job. Obviously you are not a newbie. You've been here for quite some time so we would directly move on to what you wanted to learn: vandalism. Remember, if you have any questions any time, just ask me here or on my talk page. Thanks, ΤheQ Editor Talk? 16:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC) Vandalism[edit]Please skim over WP:VANDALISM and WP:NOT VANDALISM. You don't have to go into detail yet. Just get a pretty good understanding on what is vandalism and what is not vandalism. Then answer the following questions. Then we will go in more detail. ΤheQ Editor Talk? 16:09, 19 October 2014 (UTC) What is Vandalism? A:Specifically trying to vandalize a page, like spamming thousands of letters over again or doing things like trying to hide it by marking it with rv vandalism to hide it What is not vandalism? A: Not understanding the policies and things of wikipedia, not leaving an edit summary, edit wars. Things like that. Then I realized a few days later, i forgot to sign stuff. InfernusIsHiding-Talk 18:57, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Task[edit]Find 3 examples of vandalism and 3 examples of good faith edits.

Vandalism[edit]@Brmedia: Vandalism is a tough subject to learn. There are many different aspects to it. Perhaps the trickiest. We won't go through it very thoroughly in the Adoption program. That's what the Counter Vandalism Unit Academy is for. I also have a Counter Vandalism Unit Academy too. You can enroll if you want, but that is only if you are interested. Anyways, the important stuff. I would want you to read over WP:Vandalism and understand WP:VANDTYPES and WP:VANDNOT. After, I would want you to point out any questions and do the Task.TheQ Tester (talk) 03:43, 28 June 2014 (UTC) If any of this is confusing or difficult, please let me know. I'm here to help.Vacation Q (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2014 (UTC) Questions[edit]Task[edit]Identify 3 cases of vandalism and 3 cases of Good Faith (harmful edits but made in good faith).
