[edit] Signature

Hi. The signature you use on talk pages affects the rest of the page because the code for your signature needs "</small>" added to the end. Please fix that. Thank you. --Jnelson09 23:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Testing out your signature on my talk page, it seems to be working properly. Have you changed the code? --Jnelson09 17:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The talk page I found you signature on is Talk:Toy Story 3, where the code was [[User:Thorpe|<font style="background: #E8F3FF" face="Trebuchet MS" color=#0088BB>''' Thorpe ''']]<sup>[[User talk:Thorpe|talk</font>]]</sup><small> 12:05, 1 October 2005 (UTC). I added "</small>" to it. --Jnelson09 17:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR block of Gurchzilla (talk · contribs)

This is an invalid block, all edits made by this account to Campbell's Soup Cans were obvious reversions of vandalism. ([1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]) I am going to lift this block. If you have any reason to suspect actual edit warring, or if this was a practical joke, please let me know. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 18:24, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism, alternate accounts, "3RR" and blocking

Hi there! How's it going? Terribly sorry to bother you, but I think it's warranted, as I did just log on to find myself autoblocked. Did you even look at the diffs of Gurchzilla's edits before you blocked it? You know and I know that the three-revert rule does not apply to reverts of obvious vandalism, and I fail to see how any of the diffs linked above are not reverts of obvious vandalism. Gurchzilla is, as the name suggests, an alternate account of me, and this fact is clearly stated on its talk page. I've decided to start using a separate account for anti-vandalism work; there are a number of reasons why this is convenient, and as far as I am aware, I am not breaking any rules by doing so. It is interesting to note that in 19 months of similar contributions from this account I have not once been blocked for 3RR, whereas this block came after just a few hours. A little more care before exercising your powers, and perhaps a review of the three-revert rule and blocking policy, would be much appreciated. Thanks, and keep up the good work – Gurch 03:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
