A barnstar for you!

	The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
	Thanks for blocking the vandals whom I have reported today. I have also requested protection of the Empire State Building shootings article and will watchlist it until it is protected. Electric Catfish 15:32, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:41, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

I rangeblocked for 2 weeks. Left a note here but not sure if your newer block on the single IP will reduce his block time.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 15:44, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I didn't know about the rangeblock. I blocked him for disruptive editing when I saw the edits. I'll clear the block since it is pointless now. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:48, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Thank you very much for putting through my unblock request. Best wishes! Rob T Firefly (talk) 01:17, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:41, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Filter

Hi Reaper! I requested a few changes to the edit filter a month ago and no changes have been implemented yet. What do you think about...

Unticking the "Flag the edit in the edit filter log" option on the Wikilove filter.
Adding the "Possible spambot" filter to User:Mr.Z-bot/filters.js.
Modifying the regex on the Section blanking filter to make it detect if an edit summary was provided.
Modifying the regex on both the Multiple obscenities filter and filter 460 to disallow "fuckk" (please excuse my language).

Thanks, Electric Catfish 13:48, 27 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I did. A WMF employee then informed me that this was not allowed and turned it back on. Prodego then did the same thing with the same results.
They're mostly false positives (but still vandalism, so the filter isn't disabled)
Why? The automatically filled-in text that comes from editing a section counts as an edit summary.
Done for filter 380; Already done on filter 460. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:57, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Reaper! Electric Catfish 14:21, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 422

Could you take a look at these false positives? Thanks. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for your support at my RfA. Your advice is duly noted and appreciated.—Bagumba (talk) 01:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:25, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The MfD you just closed

I don't know if it's within policy, but User:NUMB3RN7NE/list was created during the deletion discussion as an attempt to "save" it. I have no idea whether WP:CSD#G4 would apply, but it's worth looking at. Achowat (talk) 18:56, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it per G4, since it falls under content created solely to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy. "This excludes...content moved to user space for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy)." Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:13, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thank you. Achowat (talk) 12:47, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask what was the reason for deletion of the original list ? --POVbrigand (talk) 14:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
