Your Vandal Fighting

Looks like we were both chasing the same IP on the vandalism of Matrix (mathematics) and Al Gore. And you beat me every time - Speeeeeeeeeedy !!! Pedro1999a | Talk 14:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, what can I say? Sometimes I get bored at work and feel the need to right some wrongs...! I DID notice you beat me on the talk pages, though! What teamwork! GJD 14:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Teamwork and collaboration!! Wikipedia at it's best. Keep up the good fight! Pedro1999a | Talk 14:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Jackson Article

What should be the birth name and what should be the also known as?

BMI [1] and a court document [2] indicated Michael Joe Jackson. Israell 16:04, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can't help you on this one. My sole interest in that page was reverting the vandalism done by 216.11.148.3. If you've got good sourced info, Be Bold and update the article! -- GJD 16:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

/\/\ Hello. You sent a message to this IP about vandalism, i have an an explanation. This address is shared by the entire ACISD campus. If it was blocked, more than 1500 people would be deprived of this great site. Thanks! /\/\ -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.151.180.55 (talk • contribs)

First: just as a minor FYI, the best way to leave comments is on my talk page. I've moved your comments from my user-page to my talk page (get there by clicking on the "discussion" tab on the user page). Secondly, I do understand your concern about the block; be assured that this only applies to edits, not simple viewing-you will still be able to see all the information Wikipedia has to offer! Finally, you can register your own ID and contribute that way to the Wikipedia-stand out from those 1500 as a unique contributor! -- GJD 21:15, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Guild Wars

Sorry - I've just noticed I should have reverted to your version, but just reverted to an earlier version by the vandal instead. Thanks for spotting and fixing it. He's had a {{test4a}}, and I'm now watching his contributions like a hawk. --Squeezeweasel^talk 18:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem-it's easy to lose track when you have so many folks looking to squash the vandals! -- GJD 18:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

This is a school IP address. I just got this message while reading on Wikipedia and had nothing to do with said revisions. However, as a sidenote, theres plenty of nonsense on Wikipedia. Just look at furry and otherkin. --147.126.95.165 20:49, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. However, as you'll also see, there are a lot of people using their school IP addresses to vandalize Wikipedia, so we have little choice but to apply the warnings to the IP. You can, however, register with Wikipedia. In this manner, your IP's actions will very likely not reflect on you or any other valid editor using your IP. -- GJD 21:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note-added shared ip-edu template to user's talk page. -- GJD 21:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 23:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! -- GJD 14:32, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User page vandalism

Oh, I just noticed that you reverted vandalism to my user page. Thanks! —Wknight94 (talk) 22:24, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! -- GJD 17:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks for reverting the blanking of my user talk page, too. --Metropolitan90 02:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, too! We're all in this together...! -- GJD 15:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Me, too! Thanks for your vigilance! Figma 16:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I thought that edit looked suspicious from the start...! -- GJD 18:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here too; thanks for reverting the vandal puppet who decided to play around in my userspace. Prolog 00:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Believe me, I know how it feels! -- GJD 15:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia

I'm curious to know, do you actually work for Wikipedia and do you make money doing it?

If not I'm curious to know how you have so much free time...if i can get that much during this season I need to know the secrets to doing so.... Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knowledgeinabottle (talk • contribs) 19:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks

Hey, thanks for undoing the vandalism to my user page. You got it so quickly, I never even knew it had been vandalized in the first place! Much obliged. --Wayne Miller 22:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! -- GJD 00:12, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent AIV report

Just letting you know, I've blocked the IP range in question for six hours. This should hopefully calm things down a bit. Luna Santin 23:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that. The editor in that range was on quite a spree. Thanks for acting on it! -- GJD 00:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies

Greetings, I recently just editted the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious page, due to some vandal having changed it to nothing more than a bunch of slop. My revision was just a quick-and-dirty version, but I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't attempting to revise over you, just trying to revise over the previous slop. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm still getting a feel for how everything functions. Nice job, by the way! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NexNoxNoctus (talk • contribs) 18:30, 23 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

No offense taken. One of the best ways to figure out how to get rid of vandalism is to check the History of an article. Sometimes vandals will attempt to use mulitple entries so a simple "Undo" will not fix the problem. In those cases, you can edit the last good version of the article and save it with a comment of "rvv" or "revert vandalism"-which is how I worked with the Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious fix. Welcome to Wikipedia! -- GJD 18:35, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question to GJD001, how are you able to ban users if your a "new" user, when I am not able to. Seriously, I would love to know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnlennon100 (talk • contribs)

An interesting question, that. The short answer is, I can't. I'm not an admin-and those are the folks who can ban user accounts for varying lengths of time. Not quite sure where you got the idea that I had that kind of authority. What I CAN do (and you can do too) is report vandals to the admins, and THEY make the determinations as to whether or not to ban them, and for how long. -- GJD 21:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about the battle

lol sorry i made that battle of five armies article, i thought it wasnt already made because i included "the" OneDoubleO 20:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No biggie. This kind of thing happens more often than you might think! I just didn't want to see you put a lot of time and effort into something that's already out there. -- GJD 20:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for restoring my user page! LittleOldMe 15:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome!! -- GJD 15:50, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the userpage revert. :) (Yay! I got threatened on Wikipedia for the first time! hehe) -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 23:21, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Nothing says "status symbol" on Wikipedia than someone vandalizing your user page...!! -- GJD 17:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks too

Thank you for undoing vandalism on my user page :-) Myanw 15:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! -- GJD 16:40, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Automatic Edit Summary

How do I make it so the revert summary shows up. I went to WP:AES, but I didn't get it/nothing was written how to implement it. Can you help me? I'm sick of rvv... The Evil Clown 20:25, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Only edit summary I've been able to pull consistently is the one that appears when I use the "undo" function when I'm comparing the current version to the previous one. Every time I've had to revert back more than one version, I've had to go with the rvv. That said, I get the impression that folks have some tool available that fills in that kind of thing for them automatically (javascripting, perhaps?). Wish I had a better answer to give you. -- GJD 22:13, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar

Hey Gjd001, I came to thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page, but I noticed many other users have thanked you for this already. In order to one-up them, I give you this barnstar as a token of my appreciation :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 23:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		For your quick reverts of the vandalism on my and many others' user pages, I award you this anti-vandalism barnstar. Keep it up! -SpuriousQ (talk) 23:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!!! -- GJD 13:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection of user page

Your user page seems to attract a lot of vandalism. Want me to semi-protect it for you? --Slowking Man 21:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the offer, but I think I'll pass on it. It's a result of the whole RC Patrol thing, and much of the vandalism comes from registered users (vandal accounts, sure, but still registered), so the semiprotect wouldn't help much anyway. Thanks for the lookout, though! -- GJD 22:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User talk revert

Thanks for the usertalk page revert! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 13:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I knew those tags were suspicious even before I noted the anon IP detail...!! -- GJD 14:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doh!

Thanks for pointing that out - my bad when I added the nesting option to {{WPHP}}! Fixed now. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 16:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the userpage reversion

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage - there have been 10 vandal edits just today. Nihiltres^(t.c.s) 23:43, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV request

Thank you for making a report about FullHouseIsGreat (talk · contribs · block log) 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, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. If they vandalize again, please report them. -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) ^(Talk) 18:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your call. With a history of vandalism from a non-IP id, I'd have figured it would be a slam-dunk. But it isn't my problem. -- GJD 18:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see a different admin had a different point of view and has indef blocked the user. I will leave your message on my talk page regardless since I only work to remove vandalism. -- GJD 18:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since no title was put up originally, doing it now

i am sorry for vandalizing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plz dont ban me (talk • contribs)

As I see you have removed the warning from your talk and replaced it with obscenities, I'd say that your apology lacks sincerity. -- GJD 19:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I know I'm a tad late, but thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. I haven't had internet access for the last few days, so I didn't notice until today. --Ann Stouter 20:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Nobody expects anyone to be on the net 24-7 (I hope!). -- GJD 12:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing my userpage!

Just a message to say thanks for looking after my User Page and reverting the vandalism! Mouse Nightshirt 20:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! The vandal's now "enjoying" his indefinite block, so hopefully he won't be heard from again. *knock on wood* -- GJD 02:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On reverting your user page

My pleasure! Damn school kiddies, stop vandalising Wikipedia and go back to work! I'm lucky I've only ever had one IP vandalise my user page. :P Happy editing, --Razor ICE 14:34, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Faster than me, twice, on my own page. Thanks.--barneca (talk) 17:45, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! After seeing that guy pop up on the RC log, I figured I might keep an eye on him...! -- GJD 17:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

D&D wiki project consensus

A call to all members of the D&D wiki project. We are currently having a major dispute that needs to be settled by all members of the D&D wiki project. The dispute is as follows. 1. Should we put disambiguation tags on D&D articles preemptively or should we wait until there is an article conflict with some other Wikipedia article. Vote on preemptive or wait.

2. What should we label these tags? Example "child's play (module)", or "child's play (adventure)" and at this point we are taking all suggestions.

For the memory impaired, this[3], this[4], and this[5]. -- GJD 14:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I expect that by now you've seen it. -- GJD 14:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User page restoration

Thanks for fixing my user page. A quick glance at the TOC for this page suggests it is something of a speciality of yours, but it is appreciated all the same. I don't recognise that particular IP address, but I suspect it belongs to one of the many anon editors who insist on putting rubbish/fancruft into the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends character articles (thus requiring a tiresome 'daily revert'..) Cheers EdJogg 17:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I was a little uncertain on that, since I've forgotten to log in a few times to make edits, and wasn't sure if it was the case here-I figured better safe than sorry. Glad to hear I didn't accidentally step on your toes! -- GJD 18:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CrystarB4 edits

I very much appreciate your help, and he is rightly suspected of being a sock-puppet for JJonz, including that he uses JJonz 'Gaashooru' when addressing Gscshoyru, but he didn't vandalise Powers and abilities of Superman or Sentry (Robert Reynolds). He's currently either blatantly trying to bait both you User:Gscshoyru and User: J Greb with harmless and completely pointless, non-vandalism, edits, while feigning 'harmless pacifist' comments, or is simply some unrelated guy doing semi-stupid but harmless edits. Please keep track of whether he does reverts or just adds an 'and' or similar here and there, or he'll lure you into a pitfall/ban. Ridding you of much credibility with the admins with JJonz getting an open market to do whatever he wants/act silly petty tyrant again. Dave 17:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No fear there. I held off on the last round of reverts until his block went through for just that kind of reasoning. While not technically vandalism, his "work" was disruptive of Wikipedia. Thanks for the watch-out, though! -- GJD (Talk to me|Damage I've done) 17:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Sorry if I came across as patronising. Dave 17:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No harm done. :) -- GJD (Talk to me|Damage I've done) 17:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks for the advice on page protection! --Melty girl 18:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I did a little bit of checking, and I believe WP:MPFAP will go into more detail on the issue you were wondering about. -- GJD (Talk to me|Damage I've done) 18:34, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Much obliged...

No problemo. I too know a good few vandals who don't know what "this is your last warning" means either. My userpage history speaks for itself on this one :D AngelOfSadness talk 17:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
