September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Sugababes has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Thanks!

Thanks for your report to AIV and work fighting vandalism. The sort of vandalism you caught there is quite serious, and I have gone further and deleted the revisions from Wikipedia entirely. In general we try to warn people four times before blocking them, but in this case the only edits the user had made were vandalism (and quite serious vandalism at that). As a result, I indefinitely blocked the editor. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help with. Thanks again and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker (talk) 00:10, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV

Hello

This is to let you know that I declined your recent report to WP:AIV. Generally when someone vandalises the encyclopedia they are given 4 warnings before we'd consider blocking them and the warnings must all be recent, I'd say that all 4 warnings would have to be issued within 24 hours of each other. We certainly wouldn't block the user that you reported at this stage though, when I looked back through the rest of his contributions they were absolutely fine. Any questions, please ask me on my talk page.--5 albert square (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! Unfortunately, I've declined two of your recent reports to WP:AIV for the same reason as explained above. Please make sure that the vandal has been sufficiently warned. Your work is appreciated and you have the makings to be a great editor. Don't hesitate to contact myself or another experienced editor if you have any questions.

Microsoft Game Studios vs Microsoft Studios

I noticed that you had changed this in the Trials HD article. Just so you're aware we go by the historical name of the company at the time the game was released, so the studio name change only applies to new releases. Thanks for the good faith edit, though! --Teancum (talk) 01:57, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012

Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion (on the article Kinectalloons) but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you.

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported was not sufficiently warned. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for September 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boss Film Studios, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tales from the Crypt (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

October 2012

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 23:34, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On review, it appears that you've been warned about inappropriate AIV reports before. Please refrain from making AIV reports if you won't take the time to learn how the process works. If you have questions, please ask. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 23:37, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
