[edit] Your question

Hi Husky -- thanks for the message. The reason I cleared the list is because the vandalism reports were a day old or more. When someone is vandalizing a page it's easy to want them to face some sort of swift retribution (I've been there myself). But the point of blocking users is not to punish them really, it's just to get them to stop their bad behavior. So once the vandalism has stopped, the issue is basically solved and a block isn't necessary. We have to be careful about blocking IP's also, because potentially anybody could be using them, not only the vandal. Generally IP's are only blocked for short periods of time. The vandalism listings that I erased were old -- meaning, they were no longer actively vandalizing. Generally in that case, no action is taken because the immediate problem (a page or pages being vandalized) is, for the moment, through. But, of course if you see a vandal starting back up again, you are encouraged to report the problem -- providing you have sufficiently warned them on their talk page during that vandalism cycle. Of course, it must be repeated vandalism, not just once or twice, which a user can take care of themselves. I hope this makes sense. Best · Katefan0^(scribble) 14:14, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Hi Husky. Just to let you know, This is actually Xiphon speaking, but I am logged out because for some reason I can't access my talk page when I'm logged in at the moment. I see you're sending anti-vandalism messages to the IP that I am using, Ipod's or something, please note that I am not vandalising anything, I assume it's someone else on this IP. I'm trying to ask an admin about my talk page issue, so please don't block this IP for the time being. If you could just aknowledge here, not my talk page for obvious reasons, I'd be grateful. Thanks--198.54.202.18 12:51, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello Xiphon. I suppose you are referring to my comment on User talk:70.24.64.116 . You're completely right, i meant to place the comment on User talk:67.122.197.121 but for some reason it ended up on your IP page User talk:70.24.64.116. Sorry about that, it must have been late :). Oh, and by the way, i can't block you because i'm not an administrator.

[edit] WikiCommons

Hi, somebody unknown has requested deletion of two photos that you uploaded. Please see Commons:Deletion requests. Thuresson 05:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, i know. It's somebody from the Dutch wikipedia. I already had contact with him. The problem is that the disclaimer of regering.nl (the site the pictures came from) is not clear about the status of pictures from it's website.

[edit] Response To PHP

I am not advertising or spamming or anything else you think is going on. I posted valid links to a valid site that has to do with the topic at hand. This is what the "External Links" section is for. It is to give users other sites that deal with the same topic but expand on that topic or maybe give tutorials or articles on that topic. If you harrass me again you will be the one submitted for a user ban. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.89.208.242 (talk • contribs) .

Funniest comment I've read all day. How come spammers always refer to spamming as something other people do? --GraemeL ^(talk) 18:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Mmm.. well thanks anyway for adding a message at the user's page. Husky(talk page) 01:16, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Speaking for myself, I generally consider contributions less than a paragraph in size, or adding an image or a few words here and there, minor. But that's just me ;-) — Curt Woyte 11:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
