Hi! Thanks for helping to fight vandalism![edit]

Hello there, P345! I noticed you're new to Wikipedia, so I gave to the welcome template above. I also noticed that you reverted some vandalism to the article Windows Vista editions - thank you very much for doing this. As you may have seen already, vandalism is a big problem on Wikipedia. There are several groups of editors devoted to fighting vandals and cleaning up articles that may have been affected - we're known as the CVU, the Counter-Vandalism Unit. We use vandal-fighting tools and scripts to help us find vandalism on pages, revert it (rather than just editing the page and deleting the vandalism, we can actually return the page to how it was in the history before the vandal attacked - this way we can get back any content they may have deleted), and give the vandals warning notices on their user talk pages, to tell them what they did wrong and inform them they may be banned if they don't stop. If you want, come and talk to me about any things you might like to learn to do with fighting vandals. Enjoy your time at Wikipedia. —Vanderdeckenξφ 15:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
