This is a Wikipediauser page. This is not an encyclopedia article or the talk page for an encyclopedia article. If you find this page on any site other than Wikipedia, you are viewing a mirror site. Be aware that the page may be outdated and that the user whom this page is about may have no personal affiliation with any site other than Wikipedia. The original page is located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:K6ka.
My Userboxes
This user needs more userboxes. MORE, I tell you, more!!! Muhahaha!
Hello, I'm K6ka, but a lot of people abbreviate my username as "k6". I like to do several tasks here on Wikipedia, the biggest of them is to revert vandalism (and to prove to teachers and educators wrong on how you can say Barack Obama has a purple nose and everyone will believe you, and to scold them as they should "know better").
If you are a vandal on Wikipedia, I would gladly appreciate it if you stopped your annoying behaviour. Why not join the large community of editors and help build this encyclopedia? It is a wonderful place, after all. You can be rewarded for your work and gain the appreciation of the community for writing, and the whole world can see your work. Don't be afraid to receive a notice on your talk page - just Be Bold! Notices and warnings are not a sign that you have done wrong, but rather an editor wants your attention and just wants to point out or teach you something valuable. So don't cover your ears.
If you think I reverted one of your edits by mistake, please tell me at my talk page. I don't like doing the wrong thing, and if I made a mistake, rest assured that it wasn't deliberate. If you simply tell me rather than declaring an edit war on me, then we'll all walk away learning something.
If you want to join the glorious forces of vandal-fighters, great - that's half the battle! First, here's a few tips to get you started:
1. Create an account! You can fight vandalism even as an anonymous user, but it's slow and you'll have to stick with that "Undo" button, which, trust me, 70% of the time you'll be beaten to reverts, and you won't feel so awesome at the end of the day.
2. Make some constructive edits. Go around the wiki, fix some typos, add citations to articles pleading for them, expand, improve, and be nice to editors. You can try reverting vandalism now, but remember, you'll still be with that "Undo" button.
3. Once you've been a member for over 4 days and made more than 10 constructive edits, you'll be an autoconfirmed user. Great job, you've now shown the wiki that you are eager to help out and that you can be trusted with a few more tools.
4. Go and get Twinkle. Twinkle is a third-party add-on that uses Javascript to give users a few extra tools to assist them in editing the wiki. Namely, it gives autoconfirmed users the rollback links, as well as a few extra features to make it easier to warn and report users, and to tag articles for deletion. WooHoo! No really, Twinkle will be your best friend for the rest of your life on Wikipedia, so long as you use it properly.
5. Go on recent changes and pick out some random edits. Click on the "diff" link to compare that revision with the previous revision. If it meets the criteria for vandalism, hit "rollback (VANDAL)", go to the editor's talk page, mouse-over "TW" on the top-right, select Warn, and add a warning. Consult User Warnings for details. Generally, you should add a stricter, sterner warning if friendlier warnings already exist. For example, if there's a level 1 warning already on the page, add a level 2 warning. If it is an IP address, and the last warning was a day ago, add a level 1 warning instead, since IP addresses can change owners over time.
This editor is a Most Pluperfect Labutnum and is entitled to display this Book of Knowledge with Coffee Cup Stain, Cigarette Burn, Chewed Broken Pencil, Sticky Note, and Bookmark.
6. Once you've been reverting for a good amount of time, and show that you can differentiate between a vandal edit and a good faith edit, you can ask for rollback permission on this page. You must prove that you will use the rollback feature wisely, and not use it to revert edits you disagree with, or to edit war (unless it's vandalism, which should always be reverted). If you get rejected, don't run to the edge of the cliff just yet! Keep reverting!
7. Once you get accepted, this is where I leave you - at the crossroads. I would suggest tools like Huggle or STiki to enhance your fighting experience. Twinkle shouldn't be removed, because it is still a useful tool, even if the rollback links are slower than the default rollback link (Don't forget about those other features). Other than that, happy reverting, and thank you for helping Wikipedia!
If you are already a vandal fighter, or if you are just curious, here's a meter to show how much vandalism there currently is on Wikipedia:
2.72 RPM according to EnterpriseyBot22:10, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
And here's a lovely template with all the links to all the pages you need to know about!Note: May not contain all the pages you need to know about. May not actually be a lovely template.

Useless Info About Me
Who are you?
Nobody. Just an ordinary Canadian teenaged guy who has no life. Actually, maybe I do. Because if I had no life, I wouldn't be able to type this, would I?
What keeps you on Wikipedia? This is a freaking boring place - you just write stuff. And... stuff
Different people pursue different interests. Some find LoL or World of Tanks to be extremely boring. And besides, I don't actually write too much stuff on Wikipedia - I focus on reverting stuff that doesn't adhere to Wikipedia policies, such as replacing entire pages with "SUCK MY P3NIS!!" or something like that. Hey, before I suck yours, you should suck mine. Wait, nevermind. Forget I said that. I wasn't supposed to say that anyways.
So, I've heard you're a gamer. What games do you play?
...personally I hate it when people ask me this question. I look like an outcast when I mention Flash games that nobody has heard of, MMO games that they've never heard of, and when I mention The Sims, somehow everyone thinks I have no life. Yes, because I have no life from playing other people's lives, I can't have a life, nor can I live one.
How Old are You?
I am 110+33-100/44+78*13^11-3 million+512-512+512-Infinity+Infinity/91+1337-912/952/1/1*1*88+1678-666^3-6+$1212-LOLOLOLOLOL-45g of salt+99g of sugar....
Are you Canadian?
Yes!
Why aren't you American yet? Come join us! We're so awesome, we're better than awesome!
I really do. I absolutely hate those ridiculous drama movies that my mom loves to watch. Those drama movies never seem to mean anything except crying, slapping, slapping your spouse, slapping your spouse in front of your kids, slapping your spouse on the street where everyone gasps at, running into the apartment crying, slamming the door loudly at your spouse, yelling at your spouse, arguing with your spouse, lying to your kids that you two are not arguing with or slapping each other, beating up your worst enemy on the street, shoving someone off the train platform into the path of an oncoming train, smashing lit lightbulbs and then playing with the shards of glass, touching live electrical wires, intercepting the car of your worst enemy on a busy road, driving a car at 88 MPH and then throwing a sharp curve, which sends your car on its side, gasoline leaks out, and instead of getting out you fumble for your wallet so you can look at the picture of your kids (Seriously, they would rather have you live than you dying with their picture in your hands. LAAAMEEE!!!), driving your car through a store window and blaming your annoying spouse, etc, etc, etc. Ugh....
Hopefully you found that funny.
I need to talk business with you. Specifically, regarding Wikipedia. How do I do that?
Sort of. I like the idea of having a fun and loyal companion but not the pain in the ass of taking care of one.
Is this the end of the "Useless, Trashy, Pointless Information About Me That Nobody Cares About" section?
Yes. I will carry on below.
Funny/Interesting Cases of Vandalism
Some vandalism that I've found that I find extremely funny - for whatever reason.
IMPORTANT: If you made one of these edits, and you do not wish to have them here, contact me and I will remove it. I like to have fun while fighting vandalism, but I respect everyone's desires to not have their silly edits be put on display (aren't they technically on display for everyone to see in the page history?).
Kettering Science Academy. 1. Reverted by me two full days later. "Kettering Terrorist Academy - training young'uns to be terrorists from age 4."
Incident 10: 1. Jimbo Wales has been banned from his own website by his own trusted editors. You do realize he could just remove the ban, block everyone in the Arbitration Committee, and then block the bitch who added that template to his userpage? Actually, ignore the second one.
Incident 1: 1, 2, 3, [...] 6, [...] 8, 9. It's interesting to see two users revert vandalism on the same page, sometimes in an alternating pattern! How uncanny.
Incident 2: 1, 2. To all people - before you say something is gay, please Google the definition of gay and shut up!
List of The Problem Solverz episodes, including 1. I'm sure 99.9% of all teachers would agree with you. Alas, I don't. Neither do thousands of other people.
Entertainment Software Rating Board. 1, 2, [...] 3. Again, two users alternating. I really like those. It makes vandals feel like they're being ganged up on, with 2 VS 1. And it makes for fun page history and user contribution browsing. If you're in to that sort of thing.
Gunpowder, including 1, 2, 3. So I became gunpowder. Not a bad trade.
Archimedes' principle, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Archimedes getting drunk??!! Is his nude run through town not enough for you????!
Chicago, including 1. Admit it - you stick your finger in your nose when nobody's watching. Pot calling the kettle black...
Stade Louis II, including 1, 2, 3. You sound like a 12 year old that just finished his first class of sex-ed and went on to vandalize an article that had nothing to do with the subject to add trash like that.
User talk:K6ka. Close to home, looks like vandals hate me. They really, really hate me.
Incident 1: 1. Welcome to Wikipedia, I like to fuck with people.
Incident 2: 1, 2, 3, 4 (I reverted multiple edits), 5, 6. All because I reverted someone adding the "N" word to an article. That's what you get, yes.
Incident 3: 1, 2. Those images were all pictures of a nude woman posing in front of the camera. They were, predictably, deleted. Can't believe someone had the nerve to poison my talk page with that crap!
Incident 9: 1. You can't accuse someone of being a vandal if you don't even know the definition of vandalism. Wikipedia is not a vandalism-wiki, so please piss off and stop annoying me with meaningless threats.
User:K6ka. Yes, we're back to that situation again. If you're a vandalism-fighter, you're bound to get this - vandals vandalizing your userpage. Even random, innocent editors may get attacked by them. I didn't request protection because I actually liked having my userpage vandalized, because, hey, FREE REVERTS FOR ME!!
Incident 1: 1. I think you really need to see a doctor.
Incident 2: 1. You're like the guy above - maybe spend some time in an asylum, perhaps? How about one of those old, abandoned ones?
Incident 3: 1, 2. Again, the creepy image of the nude woman - ugh...
Incident 4: 1. And I enjoy watching you get kicked off the Internets.
Incident 5: 1. Okay, I get the vandal was trying to play along with my childish humour, but it just doesn't work that way. Murder is different from rape. Huggling is different from sexual assault. Nope, had to revert it.
Incident 6: 1. #1 This is not my talk page, and #2 Junky Whales is incorrect, so obviously your "You're wrong" statement is wrong.
Incident 7: 1, 2. How the heck am I supposed to fight vandalism with twinkies? Throw the sweets at them? And besides - "Twinkie from my murderous eye" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Twinkle from my murderous eye."
Incident 8: 1. Of course no one cares! Which is why I did it anyways.
Incident 9: 1. I do have a life, to be honest. Because if I didn't, I wouldn't be alive. Yes.
Incident 11: 1. Leave Wikipedia and don't come back.
Grout - what's wrong with you people? It's just grout!
Incident 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. Basically, the page was being attacked by multiple editors. They probably got together on some Facebook group, or met up in a coffee shop IRL and decided to attack a page. Why they chose grout, I have no idea. It really stands out to me because both human and automated vandal fighters were on the scene, and reverted the blemish in minutes, often seconds, after they were made. It shows the might of Wikipedia's vandal fighters.
Wikipedia:Sandbox. Yes, there is such a thing as vandalism in the sandbox. While the sandbox technically allows almost everything, you still cannot use it to place offensive, libelous, or inappropriate material in it. It's not a place for immature editors to replace content with "poopoo" or anything. There's no place on Wikipedia for that.
Incident 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Made on the night of the Super Bowl. From the Richard Sherman debacle, I guess this year wasn't the best for Super Bowl players.
Incident 2: 1. See? That's exactly what I'm talking about!
Porridge, including 1. Oh, stop watching those little kids shows!
Jack and the Beanstalk, including 1. The definition of gay has been forgotten in this day and age.
Ironman Triathlon, including 1, 2, 3. Next time you see your doctor, please tell him where your balls went.
Skiing, including 1. A bunny that takes you to a magical castle would be awesome! But why a bunny? Do you have some sort of relationship with them or something?
Button, including 1. Call 9-1-1, then. Or 9-9-9. 1-1-2? Whatever.
St. James Middle School, including 1, 2. You know, 65 minutes per class ain't that bad. Especially if there's only one class per semester!
Empanada, including 1. You have been fucked. -Le Rollbacker
Presidency of George Washington, including 1. I joked that Canada would become "New China" due to the amount of Chinese immigrants in the country.
Predictability, including 1, 2, 3. I predict that these edits, if not reverted by ClueBot NG, will be reverted by either k6ka or Loriendrew. Oh hey, I was right.
Incident 2: 1. And was resurrected by k6ka because it was too good to die.
Frito-Lay, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Porn chips - they're NSFW! Try not to let your boss catch you eating them, cause they'll cost you your job, unlike regular corn chips. And they taste like.... um.
OnStar - 1, 2. Probably one of the first events of recognition on Wikipedia, with this revert that fixed the entire article. I was still just an autoconfirmed user armed with only Twinkle back then, and I felt kinda proud I was able to clean up something a rollbacker missed.
Talk:Money - 1. That's not a very nice thing to say..
Kamla Persad-Bissessar, including 1. Seeing that you can't spell "Osama bin Laden" correctly, I don't think you know who he is.
A Wrinkle in Time - 1. Obnoxious. What's even more ironic is that my Grade 2 teacher actually read this book to the class. Appropriate for a kid's novel. So appropriate.
Cool WikiLove/Barnstars that I give to other users
I like handing out WikiLove and Barnstars to other editors. And I like receiving them equally. I feel that these two things are what all editors that try to improve the wiki deserve. And I get to have a little fun in the description, I guess..
A fire broke out in several articles on Wikipedia today. It was confirmed to be arson - set by a group of vandals looking for trouble. Luckily, STATicVapor came to the rescue. Armed with Huggle and Twinkle, he began to extinguish the flames and restored the articles to their un-charred state. The valuable information he sent to the administrators enabled them to arrest the appropriate vandals and keep them from causing more harm. I, k6ka, am proud to present you, STATicVapor, this honourable barnstar to adorn on your wall for bravery, courage, and dedication to keeping the encyclopedia safe for everyone! K6ka (talk | contribs) 02:59, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
@K6ka: Thanks a lot for the barnstar! I really appreciate it and for your kindness you have earned a place on my userpage for the near future. STATicmessage me! 03:40, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Here's yet another barnstar to adorn your gallery - though I see it's full already. Do you want me to hold it for you until you can make some room or... oh well. Keep reverting vandalism! And maybe build a larger gallery? Heh. K6ka (talk | contrib) 04:11, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Omygosh, did I not notice your barnstar? Thanks for giving me it, in any case! --I dream of horsesIf you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 18:33, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Browsing through my user contributions, it seems almost funny how we both reverted vandalism on the same article sometimes. Ah well, keep that mop next to you like a soldier would treasure his rifle. K6ka (talk | contrib) 02:43, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, you deserve a barnstar too! Mark Arsten (talk) 02:54, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal *vandal clicks Publish and rubs hands in glee*
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day*Frosty (the vandal-fighter) sees the edit*
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found *Frosty clicks rollback*
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around *edit gets rolled back*
Oh
Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be *STiki detects that user has a final warning, and reports to WP:AIV*
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpity thump thump

Look at Frosty go

*ninja poofs into the room*. Hello, This lousy T-shirt. No, this isn't a T-shirt - it's a cloak to make me invisible! Anyways, I am here to bestow upon you a great gift. No, it's not a lousy T-shirt! Just let me finish speaking. My stealthy spying skills have enabled me to see that you've been very hard at work keeping this encyclopedia you call "Wikipedia" clean... no, I did not see you with your pants down in the bathroom! Where was I? Oh yes, my master and I were so impressed by your efforts that we have decided to give you this barnstar as a reward. If you feel ready for an even tougher challenge, please speak to my master *hands business card* We spy on vandals and alert the main defense if we suspect an attack. And for the last time I'm not wearing a T-Shirt!... oh well. Goodbye *ninja poofs out of the room* K6ka (talk | contribs) 00:05, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
THANK YOU! I will treasure it and try to be worthy of it. :D — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 00:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I've seen you around a lot. Why then, did I not give you a barnstar? If I knew a bit of computer programming I'd program a bot to automatically give excellent contributors a reward for their efforts, but then it wouldn't be as good and personal as a real person giving a barnstar out. Oh, what am I talking about. Here's a barnstar for good work! K6ka (talk | contribs) 04:03, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks :) --AdmrBoltz 04:06, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
*pulls out checklist* Okay then. Let's see - has user reverted vandalism? Check. Has user been active recently? Check. Have I run into this user while doing my rounds? Check. *yawns* Man, checklists are so boring. Is user a rollbacker? Check. Is user a reviewer? Check. Do vandals hate this user? I guess... check. Has user been threatened/insulted by vandals? Check. *checks cell phone impatiently* Is user awesome? Check. (maybe?) Does user have a talk page *oh man this checklist is lame* Does user really deserve a barnstar? Check. Are you really, really sure? Oh forget it! *rips checklist into shreds* Here's your barnstar. That took longer than expected... K6ka (talk | contribs) 05:10, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Haha...thanks a lot. Reminds me that long since I've given a few myself...See you around! Ugog Nizdast (talk) 08:46, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
*sigh* I guess a mug of coffee wasn't enough for you, eh? Well, it's not enough for me - I need a refill badly. But my mom is pretty "OMG WTF R U DRINKING" when she catches me with a mug of joe in my hands. If coffee doesn't fuel me (and keep me awake) when I fight vandalism, it's my own motivation and pride on keeping Wikipedia clean (and the laugh I get sometimes when vandals vandalize an article). I assume the same is for you, no? Well, whatever the case is, a shiny barnstar does motivate a lot of vandal fighters to keep on going. Unless they think barnstars are nothing more than a lame substituted template that serves no purpose whatsoever other than waste server space. If barnstars waste server space, isn't drinking coffee wasting coffee beans? I say a barnstar is a pretty good deal. Now if only I could get a new coffee machine... K6ka (talk | contribs) 04:49, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks K6ka! I think barnstars and WikiLove contribute a great deal toward an editors' motivation. They promote the collegial spirit of the wiki and ensure hard work does not go unnoticed. I am no different. I appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge my efforts toward fighting vandalism, as I do find it very encouraging. Cheers and warm regards :) — MusikAnimaltalk 22:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Don't you absolutely HATE those PESKY vandals? Such a pain in the ass. What's so fun about vandalizing a wiki when it's just going to be reverted sooner or later? Yet even as I scratch my head some people (even adults that should "know better") find pleasure in replacing entire articles with "poopyface" or "I wuz here" or "OMFG I'M ACTUALLY EDITING A WIKIPEDIA PAGE" or "Hey Duncan. See, I edited this page." or the one that really irritates me, "Stop using this damn website where I can go and change the content of the pages. You're so stupid for coming here." And yes, a teacher wrote that once. To prove these nimrods wrong, we fight them with even less effort than it takes to screw the wiki over. And if they still don't listen - we can bash them with this barnstar. Or you could, you know, block them, like usual. K6ka (talk | contribs) 03:25, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Okay, so they do, but someone has to stop saying that they suck and actually get rid of them. Fortunately, thousands of dedicated volunteers work to clean up the mess they leave behind. And you're one of them. Doesn't matter what they leave behind - whether it be graffiti or empty pop cans or spoiled food or XXX images, but we vandal-fighters proudly clean it up. One of the best things about doing this is that you get these lovely awards. And they (the vandals) don't! "Oh, you want this shiny thing? Well go and get your own, turd. This barnstar belongs to those who deserve it." K6ka (talk | contribs) 00:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, K6ka. I very much appreciate it. Flyer22 (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Hey there, vandal fighter. I noticed your hard work on helping to keep Wikipedia clean and wanted to give you this barnstar. Just flash it around and most vandals will flee in terror at the sight of it. So you only need to concentrate on the more dangerous ones. K6ka (talk | contribs) 17:56, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
*opens up visor* Hey there. *removes helmet* Sorry, I need to wear this thick, heavy suit for protection when the vandals start attacking us. Anyways, thanks for your barnstar! I am usually on every day, but today I was particularly driven to stay on as ClueBot NG was down earlier. It's down a lot recently, don't you think? School got in the way, but as soon as I had some Internet access that was fast enough, I was fighting vandalism using Twinkle, Huggle, and STiki. Now that the bot is back up, I can hopefully get out of this suit. *unzips zipper* Anyways, I think I'll repay a barnstar with a barnstar, so here it is! Have a great day! ...now if you can give me a hand with this heavy suit... K6ka (talk | contribs) 21:55, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Below is a list of some of the other wikis that I've contributed to (excluding Wikipedia, because... duh!):
The Last Stand Wiki is the wiki that pretty much started it all. I pretty much grew up with it and I am still active on that wiki. Can you believe I joined Wikipedia nearly two years before I joined this one? I'm currently a sysop there, admittedly the first time I've ever been an admin/moderator on a website. Pretty cool, right?
The Sims Wiki is the largest wiki on Wikia that I have joined. Currently a sysop there.
SimCity Wiki: I don't do much here, other than fixing a few double redirects, correcting some incorrect information, and.... that's it.
How-To Wiki: This wiki is lost. Hopelessly lost. I only check the recent changes page to revert the occasional vandal. The only admin there seldom comes on, pages marked for deletion months ago are still there, and the VSTF are the only ones that keep the place from blowing up and still leave mountains of dynamite behind.
Space Marine Wiki: Only been there once to clean up after a vandal that commuted over to that wiki to berate the active admin on The Last Stand Wiki. Seriously...
Vim Wiki: Only been there once to undo an edit that made no grammatical sense.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki: Fixed a few pages, but this wiki isn't even written in a professional manner, as if some 12-year-olds run the wiki. Still, fun game. *beep beep beep* Roller Coaster 1 has broken down. Breakdown: Station Brakes Failure. O_O BOOM! Roller Coaster 1 has crashed! 8 people have died in a crash on Roller Coaster 1.
Don't Starve Wiki: New but experienced editor there (ironically). Currently fixing double redirects and reverting the occasional vandal. Like I always do. I like fighting vandalism. It's fun.
