WikiProject on Vandalism studies Study 1 is complete.

The WikiProject on Vandalism studies recently finished its first study and has published its conclusions (a full and detailed copy of the conclusions can be found here).

The first study analyzed a randomly sampled pool of 100 random articles. Within these 100 articles there were a total of 668 edits during the months of November 2004, 2005, and 2006. Of those 668 edits, 31 (or 4.64%) were a vandalism of some type. The study's salient findings suggest that in a given month approximately 5% of edits are vandalism and 97% of that vandalism is done by anonymous editors. Obvious vandalism is the vast majority of vandalism used. From the data gathered within this study it is also found that roughly 25% of vandalism reverting is done by anonymous editors and roughly 75% is done by wikipedians with user accounts. The mean average time vandalism reverting is 758.35 minutes (12.63 hours), a figure that may be skewed by outliers. The median time vandalism reverting is 14 minutes.

Currently the project is working on a related study, Wikipedia:WikiProject Vandalism studies/Obama article study, and is also beginning to draft up the parameters of our second major study (see Study 2). If you are still interested in our work (your name is on the participant's list), please participate in our efforts to help create a solid understanding of vandalism and information on wikipedia by contributing to discussions of past studies or by helping plan up and coming ones.

Blanking of user talk pages

You reverted a user blanking their talk page and warned them. Users are free to blank their talk pages if they wish. See WP:TALK#User talk pages. You might consider reverting your changes. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

OK, I'll keep that in mind.--res2216firestar (talk) 19:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Note to self: Users blanking warnings is OK.--res2216firestar 23:21, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Re: Request for rollback right

Looking at around 50 or 75 random diffs of your reversions over the last two or three weeks, I did not find any that were incorrect. All I can say is "wow". I am very happy to give you +rollback, as you could easily have gotten it quite a while ago. Even though you already have an excellent grasp on what constitutes vandalism, please keep these things in mind when you use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

For some information on how to use rollback, you can view Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. If you are planning on installing Huggle, which I recommend that you do, please take it slow for the first few days. Huggle is very, very powerful, and it is extremely easy to make mistakes with it. If you do make a mistake, be sure to self-revert!!!. If you run into trouble installing Huggle, or if you have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing!

Wow, that was fast, thanks!--res2216firestar 01:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, and like I said, you are clearly qualified for it. Have fun! J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
