A cheeseburger for you!

Because now I need some food. Go forth and make other vandals angry while I eat. :-) Katie^talk 16:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@KrakatoaKatie: :-) Thank yous. I thought Sandboxes, of all places on WP, were nice and quiet, but no ... :-) At your service so don't eat too long ;-) Horseless Headman (talk) 16:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Some cupcakes for you!

	For your reversions at User talk:Doug Weller …
	… looks like you’ll need ’em all. —Odysseus 1479 23:12, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Odysseus1479: and thank you. Vandalism seems like a sport to some vandals? Mmmm.. I might have to postpone my diet plans with these cupcakes, though :-) Horseless Headman (talk) 13:32, 4 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I see you on fighting vandalism constantly, so if anyone deserves it, it's you. Cheers. Boomer Vial (talk) 15:50, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Boomer Vial: Hello, thank you for that, my first barnstar, yeah! Well, not constantly though, only Cluebot can :-). Horseless Headman (talk) 16:28, 6 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Happy 2016

Hi Horseless Headman. Many thanks for your your New Year wishes, and a very happy one to you too! Best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:42, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you made the wrong adjustment and it is very constructive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.6.186.199 (talk) 15:42, 11 January 2016‎ (UTC)[reply]

Oh well, I do not think calling Sir (Sir!) ACD a "finger blaster" [1] for his family name was very nice: if you had called him "banana milkshake" I might have let it pass. Not. Horseless Headman (talk) 15:58, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do not block me

I am on a public wifi network. 192.208.242.42 (talk) 18:40, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking is usually teamwork so I alone could not block you. You would be blocked from editing WP for a given time, not from internet use itself. Horseless Headman (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting user talk pages

User talk pages should not be deleted or nominated for deletion for just minor vandalism: see WP:UP#DELTALK. If you see this, the best thing to do is to revert it and warn the user that put it there. BoxOfChickens (talk · contribs · CSD/ProD log) 18:48, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BoxOfChickens:, I see, I falsely believed it was a non-existent User (User:Saif ullah saify bhatti) but apparently it was created at 17:51), so I thought it might as well be reported fo CSD/deletion. PS Sorry for rolling back "your" barnstar :-), IP likely copied it from my Talkpage, as it was "signed" by Boomer Vial, but the actual edit was made by IP [3] who is currently blocked actually [4].

Straight level 4 warning?

The vandal that was vandalizing "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" really didn't deserve a straight level 4 warning in my opinion. What do you think? Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:00, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think he is blocked now indef for both vandalism and an offensive username [5], [6]. FYI As you can see on that page, he/she got a level 1 first from Cluebot, then a level 4 which is perfectly fine for obvious vandalism (there is no need for all 4 levels of warnings in the case of, again, obvious vandalism). Horseless Headman (talk) 15:04, 14 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

I'm checking his contribs... you were completely right. Sorry, I was a bit too lenient there. Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Joel.Miles925. Don't worry, some vandals are quite good at tucking away their edits ;-) Horseless Headman (talk) 15:12, 14 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

Indeed. Thank you! Joel.Miles925 (talk) 15:14, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	Thanks for reverting the personal attack from the Perry Hall vandal from my talk page. This has been ongoing for quite a while. John from Idegon (talk) 17:41, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wow thank you @John from Idegon:! Yes, no problem, glad I could help. I was sort of surprised by the Talk page History, this boy/girl comes back - so far - not daily but every 2 - 3 weeks since July 2015 for the same - inappropriate - edit over and over again? Oh boy. Horseless Headman (talk) 17:51, 17 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

@John from Idegon: I put it up at ANI [7] for advice, maybe it will help. Horseless Headman (talk) 18:33, 17 January 2016 (UTC).[reply]

.Don't think any action is required. There is already an admin involved and it isn't too strenuous of a game of Whack-a-Mole. RBI applies. The only hope of this ending is some good kid at the school getting involved with editing the article and locking the TP would discourage that. 21:17, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Cheers!

Congratulations on beating me to warning 68.15.158.162! I was literally seconds behind you. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Akjar13 (He's Gone Mental) 14:24, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
