[edit] Anti-vandalism work

Hey, thanks for all the work you've been doing to counter vandalism on Wikipedia! It's definitely appreciated! I noticed the warning templates that you left for 24.31.208.142. Did you know about the {{Blatantvandal}} template? It's useful for cases of obvious vandalism like this, where the user clearly knows what he or she is doing and isn't just a newbie who needs the benefit of good faith, like the normal {{Test}} template is for.

It looks like you might have left several levels of "Test" templates on 24.31.208.142's talk page, for different instances of vandalism, after they'd all taken place. This makes it harder to tell if he or she kept vandalizing after having been warned each time, or received the warnings all at once and then stopped. So in cases of obvious vandalism in the future, you can use the stronger "Blatantvandal" template so it's quicker to move to the next step of reporting them to WP:AIV if they keep vandalizing. If there's any doubt that they might be a confused newbie instead of a malicious vandal, though, it's better to just leave one "Test" template and wait to leave a stronger one until they strike again, after having received the first warning.

Thanks for all you've done! I hope you keep up the good work! --Icarus (Hi!) 20:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You have the advantage of me, Sir!

I did indeed live in Hampshire for some years, many years ago. First in Church Crookham, then later in Alton. Went to secondary school in Alton, then college, then left for Uni.

So, are you going to 'fess up, or do I have to twist your arm? :-)

[edit] Battletech

Hey :-)

So, yes, I remember doing the whole Battletech thing, but it was with one or two people, and much as I recall your name, I can't recall which one of those people you were! any photos on-line?
