Vandalism of RMS Titanic

Please check the diffs and advise how my rv was vandalism. Pedro |  Chat  20:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I checked the diffs and you did a wrong revert putting back a vandalism line. Matteo (talk @) 20:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

By the way - go through three diffs and you will see the bot ended the vandalism on my edit. php issue with the bot. Checy my page and contribs and you will see I am a active vandal fighter. May i sugest WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL on etablished editors before {{subst:bv}} Pedro |  Chat  20:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

WHAT??? You checked the diffs, saw my rv was wrong (although not as per above) and slapped a vandalism warning on me??????? Why warn me if you saw it was an rv ??????? Pedro |  Chat  20:51, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

• [1] Is this any better to prove my 1500+ edits aren't vandalism or would you like a few more ????Pedro |  Chat  20:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh my ... I saw your change (this one [2]) monitoring the changelist and quickly reverted the change and automatically added the text. I did not check your history because: if you are vandal you see the warning, if not you see your the mistake and ignore it. I did not sue you, it's just a warning for small mistake you did reverting. Why so angry??? Matteo (talk @) 20:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

And I forgot. Even if the summary says 'rv' it's not a guarantee ... Matteo (talk @) 21:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Because you do not "warn" established editors for mistakes. You point them out in a civil and respectful fashion. I am the first to use a bv warning for vandals, but it is pretty obvious if they have a user page well established and archives on their talk pages they are hardly going to be your ordinary vandal. I think this conversation is over, and I would respectfully sugest you check further before using the bv on estblished editors in the future. Nevertheless my thanks for your vandal fighting, something we can both agree on, and happy editing. Pedro |  Chat  21:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

You should do the same :-) In any case I revert so much that I don't have time to check every user. Sorry for the mistake but as you said mistakes happen. I revert blatant vandalism (as the text you mistakenly reverted) in an automatic way because usually someone putting a text about himself farting usually does not require so much attention. But in any case sorry! Matteo (talk @) 21:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Apology for the mistake accepted. Please be kind enough to strike through the comment on my talk page and we can all move on. After all there are loads of real vandals out there for us to get! Many Thanks. Pedro |  Chat  21:20, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

* I have now actioned the above. Pedro |  Chat  21:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Fishing revisions

First of all, I would like to thank you for actively guarding our Fishing Project. I've seen all your efforts of protecting the Fishing article from those harmful vandals. I've made a major revision from all those revisions/reverts that were made previously by bots and other wikipedians because some of the important information there were lost despite the effort of each and everyone to guard the said article. Thanks and more power! Bu b0y2007 01:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
