[edit] Re: Vandalism warnings
Hello, fellow vandalism fighter! I've seen your Username turning up a lot recently on articles we both keep an eye on (such as Fugitive Slave Law of 1850). Seeing as you obviously care about vandalism, I'd like to suggest that when you've finished reverting the bad edit(s) it's really good to follow up by posting a notice or warning on the miscreant's talk page. I try to do this whenever possible, especially when the user has gone beyond a simple, relatively harmless "nonsense edit". There is a whole array of such warnings, which are tailored to the degree and type of vandalism. It's really important to put people on notice so they will think twice before doing further vandalism; and also, to document what they've done for WP admins, who can impose a block of their editing privileges.

[edit] WOW!
Just wanted to congratulate you on the marvelous work on Doughface! I just did a tiny polish, but that's a lovely, lovely article. (I guessing you wrote it in Microsoft Word and then pasted it in the 'pedia? The curly quotes in Word don't transfer all that well to Wikipedia, which can, in normal circumstances totally support curly quotes, but from Word they end up kind of freaky looking.) ANYWAY, great job, and I'm looking forward to any changes you might make to Wilmot Proviso--when I was a kid it was the last article in one volume of my encyclopedia, and I always thought it was a delightful, mellifluous-y name for a bit of legislation. jengod 03:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
