Thanks for fighting vandalism

I noticed that you took quick action against a vandal on Dumbo. Good work! When reporting the vandalism on their talk page, consider using the escalation system, which uses a series of graduated warnings. The admins look to see if the warnings have been given in a Wiki-like manner, and if so, it makes it easier for them to ban the offenders. Keep up the good work! Here is a template you may find helpful. Buddhipriya 06:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
