I've found a method that works for me; I go straight from level 1 to level 4 warnings. I'm a patient person, I think, but I've never seen any hint that the middle steps make any difference. If someone's going to keep vandalizing after a level 1 warning, level 2 won't stop them either. Although I have seen level 4, especially {{tl|uw-v4im}}, make them stop quite suddenly. <span style="white-space: nowrap">— [[User:Coelacan|coe<span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>]][[User talk:Coelacan|acan]]</span> — 05:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WOW Hits]] is proving a lot more contentious than I expected. Why on earth do people want to keep that rubbish. Its not as if all mention of the songs and artists will go as well. <span style="font-family: Verdana">[[User:WJBscribe|'''WjB''']][[User talk:WJBscribe|''scribe'']]</span> 03:56, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

My talk page is a dangerous place. It's a long way down, and there's nothing but darkness ahead. Please tread gently.   — coelacan

Thanks!

For fixing Kirill's name on my talk page! And being supportive! And hey - nice bridge ya' got there :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 01:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. =) I guess it's inevitable that a few people (one?) took it the wrong way and were upset, but the end result will only be improvement. And yeah, I put up the bridge when every other message on my talk page was some permutation of "how dare you...!!" or "why are you attacking...?!" It's supposed to suggest "think twice before flaming" and maybe I'm just nicer these days but it seems to be working. coelacan01:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For some reason, I've only gotten one attack from my NPP. I have no clue why. I have a feeling that it's because I do a {{welcome5}} before I put the {{uw-vandalism1}} (or whatever). I think they get lost in the welcome and don't make it down to the warning. But I don't know for sure :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 04:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
