Reverting Vandalism

Hi.

Thanks for recently undoing vandalism. In the future, when you undo vandalism, could you please use the appropriate template to warn the user (IP or registered) to stop their behaviour?

There are many different warning templates available to use. Here are some popular ones. Please see their documentation pages for instructions.

• {{subst:Uw-vandalism1}} - For the first case of vandalism.
• {{subst:Uw-vandalism2}} - For the second case.
• {{subst:Uw-vandalism3}} - Third.
• {{subst:Uw-vandalism4}} - Fourth or final warning.
• {{subst:Uw-vandalism4im}} - Last or only warning for severe situations.

Each time we use these warnings they should be placed under the title "==November 2024==" (updated to the current month and year), on the user's talk page. If previous warnings have been given under that title, add the next level warning beneath the others, within that section. Clearly, individual cases must be dealt with as seems fit. If the user has not been actively vandalizing for a few weeks or months, start a new section.

The value of warning is three fold.

• Firstly: it may be heeded.
• Secondly: it allows other editors to quickly see if that user has been vandalizing frequently or recently.
• Lastly: administrators require that warnings have been given before they can or will act against persistent vandals.

If a vandal is on a spree or has reached a level 4 vandalism warning and is currently active, waste no time in reporting them to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Thanks again for helping to protect articles on Wikipedia. Happy editing! DigitalChutney (talk) 21:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC) DigitalChutney (talk) 21:06, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

@DigitalChutney: Hi, thanks for the welcome and for the very good advice! From now on, I'll warn users when I undo their edits. Have a nice evening! :) --PercyMM (talk) 21:16, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

You’re welcome and good luck again with your continued editing. thanks, DigitalChutney (talk) 21:23, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

per il patrolling usa twinkle, fa meraviglie.--Ḥdiddān 21:45, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

@Hdiddan: Ciao, grazie per il consiglio! L'ho abilitato dalle preferenze, ma o non ho capito io come funziona o magari non essendo ancora autoconvalidato non posso usarlo. Come dovrebbe funzionare? Grazie e buon patrolling ;) --PercyMM (talk) 21:53, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

In effetti credo sia così...immaginati un vandalo con sta roba, che casino che fa. In pratica quando vedi il diff puoi fare una sorta di rb. se ti stessi chiedendo perchè non contribuisco su itwiki è che non mi piaciono le sue linee guida e soprattutto i criteri di enciclopideità.--Ḥdiddān 12:03, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

RevDel

Hi there. I saw your request at the Administrators' noticeboard and just wanted to let you know that in the future, you may want to follow the procedure at WP:REVDELREQUEST instead. This is because as many editors watch the noticeboard, more people will see the diff before it gets RevDeled. Of course, no administrator will refuse your request just because it was posted there.

@Sdrgaz: Hi, thank you very much for explaining me! I requested the revdel at the Administrators' noticeboard because I didn't know what the right procedure was, sorry. From now on, I'll request it via talk page or via IRC, thanks. Have a nice evening :) --PercyMM (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

No need to apologise! You too and happy editing! Sdrqaz (talk) 22:39, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking for a period of 6 months. If you still need an IP block exemption after it expires please file a new request. This will allow you to edit the English Wikipedia through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Inappropriate usage of this user right may result in revocation. I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 15:16, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@DatGuy Many thanks for your help! I confirm that with the flag the problem has gone. As suggested, I read the policy. I hope once the flag expires the problem will have been already solved, but I'll let you know if it persists.

Thanks again, --PercyMM 17:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
