Twinkle

Hi Christina Silverman, I noticed you've been doing quite a bit of vandalism fighting recently and have been manually undoing and warning users and IP's. You might like to consider the Twinkle tool as it'll allow you to revert unproductive edits faster than manually undoing them and will also semi-automatically warn users and IP's for unconstructive edits. If you're interested in installing it you can do so by going to your preferences clicking on the "Gadgets" tab and checking the box next to Twinkle under the "Editing Gadgets" section. I see you're fairly new here, if you have any questions regarding Twinkle or any other Wikipedia-related matter feel free to leave me a note on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out.

That sounds good. I'll try it out and if I need any help, I'll let you know. Thanks a bunch! Christina Silverman (talk) 01:42, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Christina, thanks for your rectification of the Royal Navy vandalism. I've been trying to improve that article and I appreciate people keeping an eye on it. I see you're new; if you want some assistance from an administrator at some point, please contact me. Best regards from Aotearoa New Zealand Buckshot06 (talk) 03:13, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem, more than happy to do it! Kind regards. Christina Silverman (talk) 04:39, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism?

What about my edits constituted vandalism?

It was a mistake on my part,I fixed it. Very sorry! Christina Silverman (talk) 05:01, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

lol, no worriesDkriegls (talk) 05:02, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, what triggered your vandalism inspection?

Just going through the recent changes and I misread one of your edits. Won't let it happen again.Christina Silverman (talk) 18:38, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. I wouldn't worry too much about making mistakes while patrolling recent changes, diffs get misread at recent changes all the time, it happens, even to us who've been here a while (myself included). We do expect all users who use semi-automatic vandal fighting tools such as Twinkle to use them responsibly but we don't expect anyone to be perfect.
