Dealing with cluelessness and vandalism

In reply to the comment you posted on my talk page, I suggest that you get familiar with the templated messages at Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace, and use those messages in future interactions with contributors who are violating Wikipedia policy. The templates have been tweaked to improve their effectiveness in communicating policy messages, and a series of messages in increasing "levels" gets attention on noticeboards such as Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism (if this becomes necessary). --Orlady (talk) 02:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
