Please do not delete content from articles on Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Cleanup. It may be considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Flyguy649 08:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Can I ask what it is that you think should be cleaned up in this article? At your request for cleanup, you said something about The Free Dictionary not attributing its information to the Wikipedia article. I am sure that The Free Dictionary will attribute Wikipedia somewhere, but, even if they don't, what on Earth do you think the people at Cleanup can do about it?

- I have just realised that it would just have been more productive to link you to Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/Stu#TheFreeDictionary.com. Happy editing! J Milburn 22:45, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism watching
[edit](Reply to query on my talk page.) Sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. I guess you've figured out by now that any edits you make to pages change the pages for everyone. If you haven't done so, you might want to check out the info at the Help link on the left. You may also want to look at the welcome page for new users. As for vandalism programs, I sometimes use VandalProof. It is available free, but you aren't eligible to use it until you have a certain number of edits. More info about VandalProof is here. There are also other vandalism reversion programs. However, I still tend to vandal check 'old school', that is by looking at the Recent Changes tab at left. It shows the size of changes in the number of characters in an article (positive increases in green, negative in red), and who made the change. You will notice that a lot of vandalism will be done by IPs. Also, any comment that is left by an editor is shown. Suspicious edits are those that are uncommented. You can see what changed by clicking on "diff", or the edit history of the article by clicking on "hist". Single edits can be undone (this option shows up in the "diff" view comparing the current and previous edit. I suggest that you start by just watching what other editors do with vandalism. I first revert the vandalism, then leave a message at the vandal's talk page (a link is on the edit history page). I usually also look at the user's contribution history (also linked from the history page); users that intend to only vandalise tend to have a history that shows that, whereas non-malicious changes tend to be done by newer users, or by mistake. There are templates that leave pre-formatted messages for users available here. If you have more questions, feel free to ask me. Happy editing! Regards, Flyguy649 13:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Talk pages on articles are for improving articles, not discussing about whatever the article is about.In responce to your question, no, there isn't rankings in Counter-Strike: Source, but some servers will do that. --ASDFGHJKL=Greatest Person Ever+Coolest Person Ever 21:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
