Disambiguation link notifications

I occasionally get one. I fix the link, then delete the message, as it states is permissible. Donner60 (talk) 05:13, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for protecting the Salem, MO from vandals. How can we report or block IP 108.239.141 for vandalism? Thank you again! Taram (talk) 07:46, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Salem, Missouri vandalism: Reply

Thanks for the barnstar!

Also posted to your talk page:

Disruptive vandals can be reported and blocks or sanctions requested at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

In this case, the vandal has only one recent vandalism and warning. He has only three vandalisms overall. The following guidelines are shown on the AIV page:

Important! Please remember the following:

1. The edits of the reported user must be obvious vandalism or obvious spam.

2. The user must have been given enough warnings to stop their disruptive behavior.

3. The warnings must have been given recently and the users must be active now, especially for unregistered users.

4. Requests for further sanctions against a blocked user (e.g., talk page, e-mail blocks) should go to AN/I, as a bot automatically removes accounts here that are blocked.

In this case, we would expect an administrator to conclude that this was one passing act and that the vandal will not strike again, or not do so any time soon. So it is likely that no administrator will take an action against this user address even though the vandalism was egregious. If the vandal comes back about three times in the near future or is threatening or posts especially vicious material about a living person, they may act at that time. I would advise not filing a report based on the one recent incident but do so if you see that the vandal continues his disruptions. Donner60 (talk) 08:05, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your Vandal Patrol. It is much appreciated. ```Buster Seven Talk 13:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Oops!

Sorry, misclicked and blocked you by mistake. Obviously you're not a vandal. Trout me as you wish. DMacks (talk) 02:38, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the block. I was on anti-vandalism patrol and was shocked by the message. I assumed that somehow there had been a mixup between me and someone whom I had been warning. I have never been blocked. Will this show up as a block on my record and, if so, can that be removed? Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 02:44, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

(copied from my talkpage) It is in your block record, along with the one-minute-later unblock with my note "crap, wrong button.sorry!". There is a way to hide blocklog entries, but I was advised by several other admins that this would not be a legit case for using that mechanism. The block/unblock cycle would still be there, just with less detail, whereas now it's very clear that you did not do anything wrong and that the block was a mistake). DMacks (talk) 02:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. This talk page item now also shows the mistake. Donner60 (talk) 03:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Van Nuys High School Alumna: Erika Eleniak

Please update van nuys high school alumni to include Erika Eleniak. I tried but it wouldn't let me. Thanks. Sean Daniels — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seadansr (talk • contribs) 19:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

I have added Erika Eleniak to the list of alumni of Van Nuys High School. Since Wikipedia has an article about her which states she is a graduate of Van Nuys High School, that is appropriate. I can not see why you were unable to add her. I can only say that these types of additions are often reverted unless the person's notability is established by a link to a Wikipedia article about him or her. Names are sometimes allowed in the absence of an article if a link to a reliable, verifiable, neutral source is provided. Obviously that is not necessary in this case. Good luck with future editing.

Paula Hitler

How about you don't block conclusive evidence when im simply posting things that can be found in public records. Thanks...Leave hitlers family alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.55.214.240 (talk) 04:17, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Removed vandalism warning, was good faith edit. My mistake. I thought reference was to the celebrity John Ritter but there is no link and this is a apparently different individual. Removal by strikeout is recommended procedure. Donner60 (talk) 01:15, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

How about stop slandering Germans? If Hitler's intention was to exterminate the Jewish people, explain why the LEAST number/percentage of Jews were murdered in the nations where Hitler's military had the greatest presence:
