Don't template the regulars

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. Ian.thomson (talk) 12:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not an experienced editor, I was just following the Wikipedia:Cleaning_up_vandalism article's checklist by warning the offending user, who just happened to be a "regular". I believe I've cleaned up a vandalising edit correctly and in good faith, a regular should have known all the better than to vandalise a page for a joke.

See WP:Assume good faith, one of the central pillars of this site. Which is more plausible, an experienced administrator trusted enough to have access to users' IP addresses, dealing with this huge mess:

accidentally reintroduced an older element while getting rid of newer vandalism?
deliberately vandalized the page?

Accidents are not vandalism. This isn't all robotic procedures. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:33, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
