Certainly. I prefer not to use {{bv}} because I do not think it assumes good faith as much as it should, in my opinion, if something is blatantly vandalism (an example would be attacking an administrator on WP:AN), {{test4im}} should be used. If that can't be justified, I feel it should always be assumed the user was testing, even if they do something that seems vandalistic, such as adding profanity. OF course, that is up to personal feelings. Let me know if you even need any help, and happy editing!. Prodego ^talk 04:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanx

Thanks dude - i try my best (manual vandal spotting is hard....sigh) but will check back better in future!!! ^ _ ^ --Sharonlees 16:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Barnstar!

User:Wiki809

Just a note- you left a message on their userpage instead of their talk page- perhaps best you move it. Thanks! J Milburn 23:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks! :) -Painezor 23:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ehmm ...

Be patient. All is under control. - Darwinek 23:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I put it down to Good Faith rather than vandalism, but still, it was a little odd seeing someone make the page like that. I'll leave it to you. -Painezor 23:29, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know, guess who deleted it. ;-) However, admins should generally not speedy delete a page unless it was tagged by someone else, and so that is what I did. Prodego ^talk 02:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, sorry, didn't realise ^^ -Painezor ^T^C 02:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did things like that so many times I added a button to the toolbox (below search bar) to bring up the page log, so I would always remember to. ;-) It works great, along with about 50 other extra things I added. Prodego ^talk 02:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Date error

Nah, what I meant was I was supposed to announce the dino collaboration on the 10th but I thought I had to on the 17th for some reason. Cas Liber 04:50, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, just saw it on the recent changes page -Painezor ^T^C 04:51, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at...

Other butler (talk · contribs). The Andrew Liu article is Lucy Liu with the gender changed. Makes one a little more sure that Getting the arrow (expression) is garbage, too. Fan-1967 06:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly 67.187.165.119 (talk · contribs) is the same vandal. Fan-1967 06:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't be suprised. Yay for sock puppetry. -Painezor ^T^C 06:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The rules for {{db-repost}} (WP:CSD#G4) have been tightened (or just clarified). This code only applies to articles that had an actual AFD. If they were speedied previously, you just need to re-use the appropriate speedy criterion. Content may have changed, so a previous speedy is not in itself justification for a deletion. Fan-1967 17:45, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. I figured "repost" would entail any... repost.... which would make sense, ye know? -Painezor ^T^C 17:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's a good reason for it. Sometimes a {{db-bio}} on the first round may be due to lack of sufficient content rather than actual non-notability of the subject. If they recreate with more content, the article needs to be judged freshly based on db-bio standards, not automatically deleted because an earlier version didn't assert notability. (Of course, most of the time, it's a case like this where the subject just isn't notable at all, in which case just using {{db-bio}} again works fine.) Fan-1967 17:57, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey!

Thought you'd like to know that your user page just got vandalized again. I've reverted it and added to the vandal counter. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 17:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So I saw, thanks for that, apparently I'm a "big boi" :) -Painezor ^T^C 17:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

4? Hah! Peanuts. I lost count of mine months ago. Fan-1967 18:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think 4 in 2 days is a pretty good (?) start. :P -Painezor ^T^C 18:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to keep a clean slate until I reported someone for 3RR (and said person subsequently was blocked for suspected sock)... -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 09:17, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Fan-1967, I left a message at your talk page. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 09:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oi

he is a terrorist its so fucking obvious. just listen to that freaky he has! --ItInvolvesBestBeefSir 18:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I have no idea what you're talking about. Please refrain from vandalising wikipedia as you did to... whoever the hell we're talking about's page in future, if you wish to discuss your feelings on him, you can do so by participating in a debate on the article's talk page, or by starting a new debate on the talk page. -Painezor ^T^C 18:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tyne Bridge

Hi there, On the Tyne bridge discussion page who are you referring to when you say about a user violating the 3RR. I left the message about nomimating it for featured article but I haven't reverted it three times so I'm just wondering who you were talking about, and what do you think about nominating it for featured article status? Thanks and please reply on my Talk page.

You confused me. I misread your text and assumed it said that you had removed the image gallery section. I looked at the article and saw it was still there, I assumed someone had reverted your edit. I edited my comment soon after once I had viewed the history page, also please sign your comments on the talk page of tat article. :) -Painezor ^T^C 13:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppss. sorry I forgot I didn't are you saying that the Image gallery is actually on the article because I can see the captions but not actual Images, can you see them? Tellyaddict 13:44, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You tell me (click) -Painezor ^T^C 13:52, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There not appearing on my browser? what do you think of nominating the article for fetured article status? Please reply on my talk page Tellyaddict 13:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to move it over to your talk page when we're discussing it here, but either way it would still require a slight cleanup and possibly extension before we can consider it for FA. -Painezor ^T^C 13:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AWBW.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:AWBW.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

This is in relation to the Talk:Edgar Allan_Poe#On_the_precise_description_of_Poe_and_Others dispute. I am not the filing party. Cheers, Drcrazy102 (talk) 00:16, 16 October 2015 (UTC) PS.
