Q: What are your best contributions to Wikipedia, and why?
A: Probably my best contribution to Wikipedia so far is Draft:Aphmau which I created recently. The reason why I think it is my best contribution to Wikipedia, is because I spent a ton of time on it and hope to release it into the article space soon.
Q: Do you have anything specific in your mind, related to vandalism fighting or Wikipedia editing that you want to learn?
A: I would probably like to learn how to find and revert sneaky edits not reverted by ClueBot. I would also like to learn how to cleanup new pages from new editors (such as me).
Q: Have you faced difficulties in the past to fight vandalism? Explain.
A: I have not.
Q: Do you use/want to use any anti-vandalism tool such as Twinkle, STiki, Huggle?
A: I have the tool Twinkle, but I mainly use it just for using the TB option. I would love to learn more about twinkle and perhaps learn some alternatives.
Q: Any specific thing you want to learn?
A: How to revert sneaky edits.
Read
editI generally ask to read these pages. If you have not read these pages already, I suggest you to read. Once you finish reading, please add marks against each entry
Thanks for reading these pages. Please let me know if you have any questions. Fighting vandalism requires both (Wiki)-knowledge, and common sense. You will find some editors, who just come here vandalise, please see WP:NOTHERE, and WP:Vandalism-only account. They generally repeatedly blank articles, or add non-sense texts. You'll also find new editors, who want to make good edits, but because of lack of knowledge, they fail to do so. It is important to explain things to them that where are they wrong, and which are the relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If you are reverting an edit, please explain in the edit summary (I prefer WP:FIES). Please also read WP:V and WP:N, as I feel these are the two policies some new editors often fail to understand.
- Task
Once you read the paragraph above, please go here, I have filtered Very likely bad, and likely bad edits, please check some of the edits, revert non-constructive edits, write edit summaries, warn/notify appropriately. At least 10-12 reverts would be good. Once it is done, ping me, I'll check from your contribution. Once you finish this we'll quickly go to reporting vandalism part. Please let me know if you have question(s). --Tito Dutta (talk) 06:17, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- List of edits reverted
- 36.85.252.32 - Ki Hajar Dewantara good, edit summary is incomplete, what's wrong in the edit? In this revision, you can see the editor changing Islam to zfFFzdgdfydg. I edited with Twinkle. Is there any way to fill in your own edit summary, with Twinkle, so you don't get the automated one?
- 58.111.165.248 - Pied Piper of Hamelin, vandalism reverted, without edit summary My edit summary was "(Reverted 1 edit by 58.111.165.248 (talk) to last revision by InternetArchiveBot. (TW))".
- 58.111.165.248 - Smörgåsbord, edit summary is incomplete See question on first entry.
- 218.188.211.23 - Ultimate (sport)
- 2600:1014:B051:A308:F490:4DEB:43A:BC54 - Talk:Beast (Disney)

- 117.200.17.30 - Peddapuram
- List of Questions
*Was the admin notice board incident creation the right way to go about the editor? (203.196.32.136)
- Nevermind, I found out it wasn't, and in the future will be using the Administrator intervention against vandalism.
- How do I deal with personal attacks? The ip 2600:1014:B051:A308:F490:4DEB:43A:BC54 has vandalised my user page with personal attacks, and his user page with a personal attack ([1],[2])
- How do I deal with editors removing warnings from their talk pages? In this revision: [3], the user deletes notices. Wouldn't this be considered vandalism (without the personal attack), since it would be harder to see how many times they have been warned?
- Please read WP:UP#CMT
- How do I deal with explicit edit summaries? In this revision: [4], the edit summary is "its a talk page you stupid (Personal attack removed), fix the page" In this revision: [5], the edit summary is "Reverting (Personal attack removed) jamesjpk"
- This edit summary has been removed, contact an admin to have such edit summaries removed, see WP:REVDEL
