RobertII

Welcome!

WELCOME!! Hello, RobertII! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself in the new user log and the list of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. Wikipedia is held up by Five Pillars...I recommend reading about them if you haven't already. Finally, it would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a ♪ at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!--ViolinGirl^♪ 02:10, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Recent AIV report

Thanks for taking the time to report 216.114.182.34 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) at WP:AIV. It's the IP address of a boarding school in Vermont, but hadn't (yet) been labelled as such on its talk page. If today's incident had been the only problem, I probably would just monitor for a bit and let things slide -- since it's been a persistent problem for awhile, and hence a persistent drain on the project's resources, I've given it a short block that will allow helpful students to edit while keeping out the bad apples. ;) Thanks for your time, just thought you might like to know. If you're interested in learning more about counter-vandalism efforts, you could see Wikipedia:Vandalism and Wikipedia:RC patrol. Thanks! – Luna Santin (talk) 18:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
