I'd be happy to mentor you. Can we start tomorrow? The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 02:33, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good. :D Where to start? Maybe I could try an article and you could give me feedback? I dunno. :P

That's what I did with my first mentee, and I suppose that could work with you, as well. So let's start there. The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 02:51, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I want you to choose any article with a {{copy edit}} tag and copy edit it. Let me know when you're done so I can take a look at it. The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 22:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

I just tried this one. :3 I'm a bit concerned about that "coincidentally" in the article, cause it doesn't seem like a coincidence to me. O__o I tried not to go overboard on the commas even though there were many places I wanted to use them, apparently I use too many. :P Glacialfox (talk) 00:39, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, something came up that I had to take care of. It looks like you did some reformatting as well as copy editing, but you missed a couple things. See here and here for my copy edits. There were a few issues with commas, tone, and capitalization, as you can tell. But you did do a good first job. I'll plan a lesson for you and let you know when it's ready. Regards, The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 21:56, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey Glacialfox, I've been working on a lesson for you, but I need another sample of your copy editing. Could you choose another article tagged with the copy edit tag and copy edit it for me? Thanks, The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 03:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm currently trying to decide whether I should do this or if it would be best to just stick with fixing typos, what do you think? :P Glacialfox (talk) 22:51, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I've decided I am going to stick with copyediting, I'll try another one within a few days. :) Glacialfox (talk) 23:09, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Do you think you could choose an article for me? xP Glacialfox (talk) 03:03, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

How about Do Something? The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 23:14, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

well, this should take a while. :P i'm starting it now Glacialfox (talk) 23:05, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

This is rather hard, copyediting must be a tough life haha. is there a way you can mark it as that it's currently being copy edited so that you can save what you currently have and continue at another time Glacialfox (talk) 23:11, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Of course. Adding the {{GOCEinuse}} tag shows that you're working on the article. The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 15:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Your question

Hello Glacialfox, I see that you asked me a question on November 9th. I apologize, I just now noticed the question. There are three ways to revert to a non-vandalized revision when there are multiple vandalism edits in succession. If the edits are all by the same editor, you can use rollback to revert all of the editor's consecutive changes. If there are several vandalism revisions from several users, there are other reversal methods. The easiest way is to use twinkle's "Restore this revision" button that appears when you click on a Diff. To manually revert a group of consecutive vandalism edits, click on the history tab. On the history tab, there is a timestamp for each revision. Click on the latest timestamp prior to the vandalism edits. When you click on the timestamp, it will bring up that version of the article. Now, click on the "edit" button. A warning should appear at the top of the edit window with this message:

“ You are editing an old revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since then will be removed ”

If you click the save button, it will revert all changes made after that revision. To answer the second part of your question, if a single editor keeps vandalizing an article, you can report them to Administrator intervention against vandalism after you have warned them four times. If the article is vandalized by multiple editors continuously, you can request the article be semi-protected by filing a request at Request for page protection. I hope that answers your question.

Changing quoted text

Hi. I've reverted your recent edit to Liberties Act 1850. The word you changed was part of a blockquote, and changes of this sort should only be made with care (especially when dealing with older source texts), such as when the source text has been inaccurately reproduced, or if it perhaps contains a blatant typographical error (such as "teh" for "the"). In this case, the source text clearly uses "unfrequently"; while not a common word, it is nevertheless listed in the OED, and appears twice in the same paragraph in the source text (which admittedly wasn't obvious due to errors in the blockquote). Cheers, Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 23:43, 29 November 2011 (UTC).

Oh whoops, I was totally being really careful to not change quotes too haha. I've just been going through the lists of common misspellings letter by letter and fixing things and that was on it. :P Thank you for telling me. :3 Glacialfox (talk)

"Unfortunately"

It's all well and good correcting a misspelling of the word, but the chances are that when this word appears in articles, it's in a point-of-view statement. - Dudesleeper talk 01:35, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah, that makes sense. I forgot about the whole point of view thing so thanks for reminding me. :P Glacialfox (talk) 01:37, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. I see you have only been active on Wikipedia for one month. Let me reflect a bit before I give you an answer. When using AWB it helps to have a bit of experience. EdJohnston (talk) 04:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Warning vandals on Zooey Deschanel

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Zooey Deschanel: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. --AW (talk) 19:00, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Josh Braithwaite

I reverted to the last version by Josh Braithwaite himself. Under the circumstances that seemed the safest thing to do. Thanks for calling my attention to this: using Huggle it is far too easy to revert the latest change and not realise there are other problematic edits too.

im trying to FIX a vandalism by deleting it (on the Justin Pereira page). please help me keep one person from reverting to the same vandalism over and over.

Rollback

Hello, following a review of your contributions, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please take note of the following:

• Rollback gives you access to certain scripts, including Huggle and Igloo, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
• Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
• Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
• Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
• Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
• You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
• You can display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:23, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

About barnstars:

Glacialfox, not to sound like a barnstar fisher: I think it might be cool if you designed a star and proposed it for the purpose you were thinking. I do not expect to see a barnstar; only, this is too good an issue not to be raised and if you do, you must also propose what the star should look like. I did it with the Quasar Barnstar. If I am not mistaken, you can propose it here[1]. Anyway, best of luck and in fact, let me take this opportunity to beg you not to try to award me a barnstar at all. Djathinkimacowboy 16:25, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

This is a good idea, I'll start figuring out what to call it. :P By the way, what does Quasar mean? Glacialfox (talk) 16:59, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Oh, well I proposed that it be for editors who assist other editors in sailing Wikiwaters. Any editor who clarifies and explains rules, or improves the rules themselves at the proper forum to do so. If you think about it, anyone who assists, cleans up, does nice things, excellent editing, nearly infinite reasons to award it. Glad you like it, another fine editor designed it for me. Djathinkimacowboy 20:51, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry...a quasar is an intense swirl of gaseous energy, perhaps being pulled into a black hole and is found in galaxy centres. Its light outshines all light. When you think about it, it's a sort of Gothic-Romantic denizen of the universe. ;) Djathinkimacowboy 20:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Reverted edit

Hello, you recently reverted an edit I made to Outline of James Bond. I believe that this revert was made in error, as the edit I made (I believe) was constructive. I would like to reinstate my edit, but I wanted to give you the courtesy of running it past you first. Thank you for your time, 67.180.192.222 (talk) 02:20, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, my bad. I've put the edit back and removed the warning from your page. :) Thanks for bringing it to my attention so I could remove that warning thing that was put there, I would hate for you to have one on your page and give people the wrong idea about you haha. :P Glacialfox (talk) 02:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah, thank you. Glad we could get this cleared up so easily. 67.180.192.222 (talk) 02:50, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
