Thank you for fighting vandalism

Wow - 10 vandalism reverts within 30 minutes of creating an account. You're off to a great start. You may want to check out this page for some vandal fighting tips, and you may find the Twinkle section especially useful. It helps bring up the vandals talk page so you can warn them about the problem. Keep up the good work.  7  05:50, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. And you've already been vandalized. I reverted it for you. Regards, P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 13:47, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

hey i'm looking for the source of that quote "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse."

Charles V. It would have taken all of ten seconds to look that up. – iridescent 22:20, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

nuu not the person i want the source of where they got that quote from, ie when and where he said it and in what language

He was born and raised in Ghent, so almost certainly in French. – iridescent 22:27, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

thanks but see the whole quote is about languages and when you use each of them so the language would be extremely significant to the quote's meaning. als lol it's pretty funny how we're using this guy's profile page to chat. 128.113.193.155 (talk) 01:05, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:173.51.124.128. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Q ^{T C} 01:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

This isn't an acceptable edit summary or notice. FinalRapture - † ☪ 02:31, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia is drowning in a pool of vandalism. When the founder of Wikipedia himself -- Jimbo Wales -- tries to clean up the filth that editors have let the site be soiled with, he gets run out of town by the mob.

Someone has to stand up for the values of Wikipedia. Someone has to be there to make the site educational and informative when others want to turn it into a den of graffiti and obscenity. At this pivotal moment in the history of Wikipedia do you want to be the ones who helped end the avalanche of vandalism? Or do you want to be the ones who stood in the way?

Even now my own userpage has been laid siege to by the scandalous vandals. They no know shame. They laugh at their inequities, mock those who dare avenge their heinous crimes, and are discomforted in the least by the lewdness of their own open nakedness, for they are without values and without shame. If you're unwilling to act in stopping the onslaught of barbarism that plagues the Wikipedia project, then I suggest that you forthwith and irrevocably resign.

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 11:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind suggestion. I have used the templates in the past, but they appear to lack the fire and zeal that our vandalous counterparts require to change their ways. I tried using the templates to launch my revolution, but it failed. Desparate times call for desparate measures. Perhaps, though, they deserve another chance. Cheers, good friend. Maypigeon of Liberty (talk) 17:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

The type of warnings you are leaving other editors is vandalism.--Omarcheeseboro (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I don't feel that I've gone too far with anything I've written. Indeed, most of my warnings are quite cordial and follow suit with the templated warnings you mentioned earlier - a greeting, a gentle reminder not to vandalize, and a list of possible punishments. However, I do respect your point of view and I accept that you have much more experience with matters like these than I do. I will take your advice under serious consideration, comrade. Thanks again! Maypigeon of Liberty (talk) 18:24, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Okay, this is "quite cordial" and a "gentle reminder"?

" You know what I think is crappy? Your rotten soul. You, sir, are a despicable human who was raised in the ways of your father Absalom. Repent, and walk in the ways of David. I beg you, return to your former self"

"There will come a day in your life when this will catch up to you. The day will come when you will weep and feel remorse for your capers. You may laugh now, but wait until your funeral when someone vandalizes your eulogy. Who will be laughing now? Probably your mom."

--Omarcheeseboro (talk) 18:57, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Clearly you and I have different opinions about this, but I would say that yes, that comment is cordial. At least when compared with the malevolent defacement of community property, I suppose. When dealing with goons of this sort, you must speak firmly. I felt compelled to remind this young buck of the consequences of vandalism. For instance, if someone were to vandalize his funeral, he probably wouldn't like that. That kind of dramatic allegory can really inspire a change. Those templates have proven ineffective - they've been around for what seems like an eternity, yet vandals run rampant. I thought I'd give it a new approach. But, I do see where you are coming from. I am really giving serious thought to giving those templates another go. Like I said, I respect your input because you've got a lot of experience. I'm pretty new to this whole deal. It's just that these vandals really get under my skin, and I want to help fight them off. I can't think of a worse kind of criminal. I want to ward them off, but I may have gone about it the wrong way. Thanks again for the input - I really will give it some thought. Maypigeon of Liberty (talk) 00:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't jump to level 3 warnings like you did here FinalRapture - † ☪ 19:54, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Why not? According to this guideline, it's okay to start with 3. Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings. With the blatant vandalism that Maypigeon was referencing, it seems appropriate. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 20:10, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Omar. That Final Rapture character seems to think it is acceptable to behave as that vandal did. Totally unacceptable. Hopefully, he'll learn a valuable lesson from his stint in vandalism. Only the righteous need survive in our cutthroat game against vandals. Maypigeon of Liberty (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at anal sex, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Rantotheridge (talk) 15:21, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your recent behaviour. The thread is Maypigeon of Liberty. Thank you. – iridescent 16:21, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

"Only the righteous need survive in our cutthroat game against vandals"?? Can you hear yourself, friend? You are taking this far too militantly. How do you think people will look upon Wikipedia when they, harmless positive editors, come here and see you running past them chasing a vandal and typing those kind of edit summaries? Your comments get cached by search engines, and are visible in edit histories. I applaud your zeal to fight vandalism, but for heavens sake some of your comments border on the deranged. Tone it down a little, please. S.G.^(GH) _ping! 16:47, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
