[edit] Warning messages for vandalism

Hi, I notice that you revert more than your share of vandalism. Thanks!! I also noticed that in at least one case, Battle of New Orleans, you did not leave a message on the vandal's talk page. I think it important to leave messages in almost every instance of even the most minor vandalism for these reasons (and probably more):

  • People just test-editing can be directed to the sandbox where they won't corrupt real articles.
  • Mischievious newcomers may stop if their first edits result in a polite request to behave.
  • Sysops can more quickly block more serious vandals if they've already been warned a few times.

There are vandalism warning templates that make it fairly easy to leave appropriate messages, but when you're doing a lot of reverts it can still be tedious. So I've made some vandal-warning tools that are documented at User:Kbh3rd/Vandal_warning_toolbox. A list of warnings can be added to the toolbox menu on the left whenever a user talk page is being edited so that the proper warning message is only a click away.

I wonder if you'd like to try this out. I've not made it very public (yet) like CryptoDirk's and Lupin's much more sophisticated tools, but I'd be interested in getting some feedback on it.

Thanks again for your help. --Kbh3rdtalk 04:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll give it a try. --Kotjze 04:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dia Duit

Hi there! If you're ever short of a few subjects to do, we'd be more than happy to see you at Wikipedia:Irish Wikipedians' notice board. There's not that many of us, and we need all the help and opinions we can get. Cheers!Fergananim 21:05, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newfoundland and Labrador WikiProject

There’s now a WikiProject for Newfoundland and Labrador. We hope you’ll join us in making Wikipedia a great source of information about the province and its people. OzLawyer 17:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
