Thanks for your reverts on vandalism. Here's the Editors'/Deletionist's Barnstar for your hard work on Wikipedia. -- Stevey7788 03:10, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You can put it on your user page. Display it with pride. Cheers, --SqueakBox 01:32, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

I block each IP number he uses, but he may be on dynamic IP. I rely on him getting bored before I do, which I think is a safe bet. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:34, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Please do not repeat edits of your recent type to this page.

As far as I can see, there has been no vandalism on the page.
Please do not use upper case and emotive terms in edit summaries.
Please do not go a long way back in reverting, without giving some indication of where you are going and why.

This page is under active development, and one of those who is contributing has poor English. Labelling his edits as 'vandalism' could easily lose us a valuable contributor.

Looking at your edits, I see that you have been sing this account only for a few days. Please be aware that, while vandals certain operate on WP, for the most part they cause minor nuisance that is easily put right. Our basic principle Assume Good Faith is central.

Richard Simmons Page

All I am correcting is the incorrect statement that he is African American. I know Richard, and he is not. Hope this goes through, I dont really know how to send these messages on this site. Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. I appreciate it. Cheers, Banyan Tree 00:43, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Again, thank you for reverting the "delete" tag on the non-sense article about "Jerry Botzko". It seems that 68.33.104.151 and KFP is the same vandal user. Svest 20:37, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Patna

Hello, I find that several anno. users are vandalising this page. Please assist me in reverting all these silly changes. Thanks. --Bhadani 16:43, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Pakistan

Thanks for your revert, but the anon user 24.126.17.155 (talk · contribs) dropped the section again. Also, the user seems to have gained a new identity Whiteking (talk · contribs) (Notice that the new identity comes into being 5 minutes after the last edit by 24.126.17.155 (talk · contribs)). While I am not asserting any authenticity or fallacy of the user's edits, It really hurts everyone's efforts in keeping consistency in an article when someone repeatedly drops sections without bothering to discuss it. I called for a discussion 3 times, but of no avail. I did reported vandalism, but the user's sockpuppet identity (I am assuming that, not sure) even tried to put some disparaging comments there. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that this page is being reverted just too many times in last 2 days. Thanks for your efforts in finding vandals. --Ragib 06:50, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. Guess that guy didn't take kindly to my asking him to stop vandalizing. — Knowledge Seeker দ 02:57, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping to clean up POV vandalism

Thanks for assisting in reverting the edits of POV vandal User:JoeM = Moral Clarity. Is there anything we could do to block this individual? I tend to agree that he's a sockpuppet. His first day on Wikipedia and he already seems to show a familiarity with NPOV (though no intent to abide by it) and a knowledge of WP:VIP. Hmm... Firebug 23:24, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nguyen Chau Sa

I'm not sure why you marked this for deletion rather than correcting the redirect; am I missing something? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:52, 4 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know how to redirect... maybe should have marked it for cleanup. --Chanting Fox 04:02, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect takes the form: #REDIRECT [[target]]

Your RfA

You can just say on the nomination that you withdraw your nomination, and an admin will archive it. Welcome, by the way, and hope you enjoy your time here.

I love your handle, by the way. :) Rick K 18:32, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

"Impersonater Vandal"

Greetings, Chanting Fox. I was suggesting to User:Zzyzx11 just now that we change the name "Impersonater Vandal" to something like "the Doppelganger" or "the Imitator" since they're more catchy. This is, of course, quite unnecessary, but a catchy name could make a difference after all. He referred me to you, as you coined the name, and not he. Would this be a good idea? -JM Bell ° 01:36, 8 May 2005 (UTC) Sure, it's fine by me. --Chanting Fox 01:37, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

How about "DoppeIganger" (note character placement, har, har). – Clockwork Soul 04:51, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

65.10.37.127

I put a warning on his talk page, which I always do except for the most egregious of vandals. If he doesn't respond, I'll block him. Rick K 22:39, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, he was duplicating sections on Wikipedia, one of the most obnoxious forms of vandalism. Everyking 00:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nicaragua

He is KEITH (talk · contribs). Read his contribs to Talk:Nicaragua. I know he lies, pretending to be a guy from Canada, and Mike from California, but is clearly hispanic. The IP address is from Mexico City. he seems to spam in his own photos, and change the text with unsourced material and mangled English. Both Worldtraveller and I have been reverting all his edits on the basis they are unsound, --SqueakBox 01:26, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting vandalism to my user page... have you checked out my RC program yet? Might be of interest to you. Cheers. CryptoDerk 02:51, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

I really appreciate reverting the vandalizing on my user page. drini ☎ 02:06, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DB lag maybe

There's been some database issues recently. Reversions may not show up right in all cases... For real time feedback, you may want to join the IRC channel where admins, developers, etc. can frequently be found. CryptoDerk 20:01, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I just looked.. it could be a time/cache issue. If you notice, your reversion was logged in 10 minutes before the vandal's edit.. there have been some db time sync issues.. The article appears fine to me, so it could just be a cache issue on your end. When the time issues are fixed, hopefully the correct time will be fixed. CryptoDerk 20:03, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Really, the page looks fine. This is a fairly common glitch when there are db troubles. It's happened to me before, and I know of a couple of instances where it's happened to other people. CryptoDerk 20:36, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

University of Cambridge Vandal

The Cambridge server used by the person that did the minor vandalism to George W, Bush entry that you caught is attempting to disrupt Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Tess khoo. For details see entry for 131.111.8.96 on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress. Thought you might like to know. --WCFrancis 04:11, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

VfD (RuneScape gods)

Hey, I took the liberty of adding a link to the article on it's VfD talk page and a link on the main VfD page... please do this when adding pages to VfD in the future. See Wikipedia:Votes for deletion to read about how it's supposed to be done. Sholtar 05:05, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

Speedy tag on Phytoestrogen

Please don't use speedy tags when you only suspect things are spam, unless they are obviously spam please take them to Vfd. Kappa 08:10, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Iasson

I personally have no idea what's wrong with him, but he seems determined to prove that "Iasson" and "Faethon" are different people. It is pretty much guaranteed that the anon is Iasson, trying to convince people that the hundreds of "public" accounts weren't his. —Xezbeth 19:49, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the rv on my user page. The anon user was annoyed at me because I reverted the edits that he had made at Glasgow. He also blanked Sheffield and Millhouses, presumably thinking that blanking pages that I have worked on would somehow annoy me—rather childish really. Thanks again for the rv -- JeremyA 04:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

blanking

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! --W(t) 02:16, 2005 May 19 (UTC)

Yeah, you're right. I'm done, anyway; frankly, this situation just got me annoyed, seeing I helped create it (the chess champ). Linuxbeak | Desk 03:53, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

James Broadwater

Hi, I have taken off the speedy delete tag on James Broadwater. I see that the article you tagged was a joke article, but the author proceeded to rewrite it and it seems sincere enough now. Sjakkalle 07:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism revert

Thanks. I've had my hands full with this "fool" for a while now, like several days. Time to recommend some stronger action me thinks. -- Longhair | Talk 19:13, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism of my user page

To answer your question, I think the IP is dynamic. He has hit mine and Everyking's page. He also hit WP:VIP, mainly to alter my entry on him. I do agree something strong needs to be used against him. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:14, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Insulting comment?

Hí!

What do you mean by insulting comment? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:205.173.47.254

"Idiot" or "Idiotic" is the word I am describing the 205.173.47.254's behaviour (= vandal).

Please, do not remove messages that are reasonable. Henri Tapani Heinonen 18:38, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! Thanks for advices! Henri Tapani Heinonen

Rovoam

Hey, I've been reverting Rovoam as I see him over the past few days, blocking, etc. I asked Petaholmes about him and he said to talk to you. I can count at least 7 decent sized ranges he's coming from. Since I haven't really been all involved in his RFAr or anything, but I think it's time to go to the foundation and start calling his ISP, etc. like has been done with prior really bad vandals. CryptoDerk 06:37, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

I've got him figured out now. He's just using open proxies, many of which I've identified. Some of these proxies move around a bit, but some are static and the others can be picked up in a range block. CryptoDerk 23:04, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Shrug, could be. Right now he's too slow, though. When I'm using my vandal fighter I can catch him and block him in 5 seconds. Plus now I've just started protecting pages. CryptoDerk 23:21, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

Impersonation

Taken care of. CryptoDerk 23:32, May 26, 2005 (UTC)

WAU

Hi, Chanting Fox, I just now noticed your comment (and deletion thereof) ony my talk page history. I did not know what the source for that image was, I find that sorta hillarious! Anyway, I have some advice, which is free, but it's gonna cost you! I don't believe such a short segment counts as a copyvio, for either my low-quality Image:Wau.gif, or the high-quality and longer-duration Racoon.gif one. But I'm far from a copyrights law expert. By the way, for future reference, you can de-inline an image thusly: [[:Image:Racoon.gif]] (i.e. Image:Racoon.gif). El_C 03:11, 27 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism Count

A random thought... if one were to increment the vanadalism counter on your page, would that be a version of the Liar's Paradox... See if it was vandalism then the increment would be justified, in which case it would not be vandalism. But if it were not vanadalism, then the increment would not be justified, in which case it would be vanadalism...

== Vandalism by 131.111.8.101 ==

Hi I've been doing some detective work based on a few isolated incidents of vandalism I've seen, and I discovered a vandal who uses User:131.111.8.101 who may have been vandalizing you. I also x-posted this to User_Talk:MacGyverMagic because he's an admin who's been involved with this vandal a bit.

They vandalized the Benedict_XIV page to this. Note the images. They were uploaded by User:Dmj27.

Also note Contributions of User:Darth_Vader. According to his contributions, he modified the Palpatine page to appear like Pope Benedict. (exact opposite of the above)

Observe the Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/James_Cole and Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/David_Jordan. They've been edited by a Cambridge IP. Note the references to User:Dmj27, User:Darth_Vader and User:spankthecrumpet. Also note the obession with "Remis" (whatever that means)

Note this.. your impersonator User:Chantin'_Fox added a link to the David Jordan page. He also edited the Darth_Vader page to redirect to you.

My suspicion is that all of these people are sockpuppets of User:Chantin'_Fox who is operating from User:131.111.8.101.
