I restored the IP's content removal as I didn't realise that the section was unsourced. Please be careful next time when dealing with section removals. hmssolent\^{You rang?} _{ship's log} 01:39, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is not CSD:G1 or CSD:G2. Basically, if it's English words in sentences, it's not nonsense. If anything, that page is CSD:G11. Also, please stop reverting the creator's edits to his user and talk pages. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 02:57, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, please give reasons for reverting edits like this. That's not blatant vandalism, though it did mess up the grammar. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:56, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted an edit I made to Psilocybin mushroom, noting that I'd added "incorrect information". I didn't actually add any information- I just tagged the first sentence of the "As medicine" section with ^[who?]. It begins with "Some people have been asking for medical investigation", which seemed like a pretty straightforward violation of the manual on weasel words. I can go ahead and search the source for a clearer definition of just who the sentence is referring to, but I don't want to make any further edits to the page until I clear this up with you. Thanks, --Kinglycitrus (talk) 03:08, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted an edit I made to Michael Okpara University of Agriculture. It was a correction to a caption. The picture was a deadlink from a previous edit(not mine) and needed to be re-uploaded. I worked on getting the caption right. User:ChikaOjiegbe 19:59, 23 September 2013 (GMT)

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Nice job reverting vandalism this week! I've seen you all over my watchlist! You might benefit from the rollback right; if you want, I could nominate you. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 21:49, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Uhhh . . . actually, I DID explain why. So I can't understand why you didn't bother to read my rather straight-forward explanation, nor can I understand why you felt the need to revert it back. But I'll repeat: It's a section heading with no actual section. All that's there is a link to a film portal, which is so generic that it hardly deserves an entire section heading. Again, it's worth repeating that I did explain this in the original edit, and it's in the history if you don't believe me. If you have an actual REASON to revert my edit, that's fine, I won't fight about it, but "you didn't explain why" is just plain old objectively wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.191.181 (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I thought the info I put was going to get reverted or wasn't accurate enough. I wasn't trying to vandalize anything. I'm sorry again for not explaining that but thanks.2001:5B0:28FF:3EF0:0:0:0:38 (talk) 21:06, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that IPs are allowed to remove warnings from their pages, so there's no need to revert them when they do. See WP:BLANKING for details. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:43, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it's me again. I've nominated you for rollback at Wikipedia:RFP/R#User:Thewikiguru1. If you're interested, you can accept the nomination there. --Jakob (Scream about the things I've broken) 18:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thewikiguru1

You posted on my talk page and I would love to respond; It's true that I don't have an account on the English Wikipedia, but I do have one on another language. I didn't want to make an account for just this edit - which was, as you would have seen if you looked at the content (which you probably did not)- just vandalism. Next time I will make an account, because I do understand that ip-users normally aren't trustworthy, but please have a look at the stuff you restore... I think it would've saved you some time. As I read on your page now, I'm not the first person to state this. It's cool to have someone working this hard on Wikipedia, but please work throughely...

Furthermore, I do have one question; if I expect a vandalism-war to happen, who should I inform. This page ([MyMathLab]) was posted on [Reddit] in a thread about the worst biased wikipedia articles... With hunderds of thousands of people reading that, I don't think it's strange that the page is (semi)protected now, haha. 37.191.197.195 (talk) 17:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

i want to add a photo of me how can i do that pleas help me with that

thank you for your edits to the Pen Centre article here. You may not have noticed that you have capitalized several words incorrectly, and formatted a bunch of numbers incorrectly (see WP:MOSNUM). Please clean up your edit. Thank you. Ground Zero | t 19:16, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Please review WP:MOSNUM. Numbers up to ten are spelled out in a sentence. We write "1970s", not "70's". We don't abbreviate months. Ground Zero | t 20:19, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Colour me confused, but I do not understand why you gave four escalated warnings to Reinavera (talk · contribs) after he or she had already stopped editing. Escalated warnings are only given if the editor has ignored the previous warning. — Kralizec! (talk) 01:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What was the point of your edits to User talk:80.249.52.132? They don't make sense to me. You removed previous warnings the IP had received and then added escalating warnings of your own after the IP had stopped. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Again, why did you add four warnings in two minutes here: User talk:Literaryawards, after the account hadn't edited for an hour? Just add one warning at a time and see if they heed your advice. Mark Arsten (talk) 18:51, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for patrolling new pages. This article was a subtle trap, worth watching out for when the article title differs from the contents, as here: it had been hijacked by a kid to write about himself, but underneath in the history was a quite different (if rather odd) article about a Japanese encyclopedia. I actually fell into the trap myself and deleted the article, before looking further and restoring it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:11, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You need to stop posting messages like this, this, and this. You are impersonating another user each time you do by putting their signature on a message you post. Please stop doing this immediately. You can say "This account was blocked by XXX", but you should not be placing notices with their signatures attached. only (talk) 22:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you blanking legitimate questions? (And why are you adding blocked notices with admin's signatures?) --Jakob (talk) 23:14, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Empire Theatres page, your edit caused a cite error (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:30, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Users are allowed to blank or remove content from their own talk pages without interference. The cross-namespace redirects were a good catch, but it is often better to ignore a user once they are blocked (hence my lack of block notification). -- John Reaves 00:08, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

what was the point of this edit? You're editing someone else's comment to change the image. Why? You should not be editing others' comments, especially for silly things like that. only (talk) 22:52, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Thewikiguru1. You recently reverted the edit a newly registered user made to the Wizkid article and undid your edit. I already left a message on User talk:STATicVapor's talk page and would appreciate your input as well as his. Here's the link to the discussion: Wizkid. versace1608 (talk) 03:28, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't change other editors' talk page messages. Even in the case of an unambiguous spelling mistake, it is rarely a good idea to correct another editor's talk page post, as it can be seen as picking an editor up for a mistake, which can be unwelcome. As for making a change from one accepted form to another that you personally prefer, as you did here, that is never acceptable. I knew perfectly well what I intended to write, and if I had wished to use the United States spelling, as opposed to the spelling used in most of the rest of the English speaking world, I would have done so. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you sign my AIV report here, this is refactoring and I'd like a explanation for that. ₪Stormmeteo ^Message 22:19, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have four conversations on your page right now about you refactoring or signing as other users in inappropriate manners. I warned you that if you continued, you would be blocked for disruption. Because of the numerous times you've been told about it by three different users, and the fact that you still are doing it as evidenced by your refactoring at WP:AIV, I have blocked you for 24 hours. As always, blocks may be appealed through the user of {{unblock}}. Please do not continue this actions going forward. only (talk) 22:30, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am so sorry for what I've done, I will take a break from anti-vandal duties for a while. For now, I will make some minor edits to articles when needed at public places like public libraries, schools and dentist offices. I will also respond to edit requests for semi-protected pages. Occasionally, I might edit semi-protected articles constructively. I might also consider a wikibreak as well, although I will continue to read Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration. Thewikiguru1 (talk) 23:02, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I've extended this block to indefinite. Though it appears you've done a lot of good vandal fighting, recently the vandal you've been reverting has a much too close relationship with you, and appears to be working in concert with you. This is not acceptable, and combined with your other bad behavior (impersonating administrators, for example) you have a ton of explaining to do. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 07:58, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I can't find any instance where you have replied to or addressed any of the numerous concerns that have posted here. Why do you not reply to people? -- John Reaves 00:04, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the things I will be careful next time:

• Do not resign AIV reports unless I report the IP addresses and usernames who repeatedly vandalize even after final warnings, recent release of block and/or evidently a vandal-only account.
• Do not impersonate other users. I can say "This account/IP address was blocked by XXX" instead.
• Do not issue more warnings when the editor has already stopped. Instead if the editor continues, I will start with a Level 1 warning.
• I will also respond to replies and talk page posts whenever I can.

What about your lack of communication? All these talk page posts and no replies... -- John Reaves 03:27, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
