User:Zaldax

I'm fairly new, but I might be interested. What exactly would enrollment entail? Zaldax (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
You'd be paired with an experienced counter-vandal who will help you understand the role you can play in protecting the Encyclopedia. Specifically, you'll be instructed on how to Identify, Revert, Warn, and Report the vandal, as well as having an experienced user to review your work and offer constructive feedback on how to become even better. Achowat (talk) 20:19, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 Y Looks good to me. Electric Catfish 01:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Awesome! Sure, why not? It could be an interesting experience, and learning more about counter-vandalism and the tools to fight vandalism wouldn't hurt. Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 17:07, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

{{await}} /{{tick}} We usually want our students to have have had an account for a while and a decent number of edits so we can be sure they have a basic understanding of how Wikipedia works. In your case I think your on the borderline, even though you don't exactly meet the requirements. I'll leave a tick or clock up to the coords or to an instructor if one would like to take you on (although keep in mind that our instructors are busy at the moment).

I'd like to learn more about how counter-vandalism is usually conducted, with a view to eventually have enough experience to rollback and use the faster, more advanced tools(e.g. STiki). I currently use Twinkle. Silvrous Talk 10:03, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

 C I'm a bit concerned that you've only made 89 edits. There is nothing wrong with this, but we'd prefer that you'd get more experience before you are taught the "backstage" work, such as vandal-fighting. Electric Catfish 16:47, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
{{resolved1}} - I will take. Electriccatfish2, I don't see why the low edit count is a problem (specially since there are no requirements) and since when was counter-vandalism "backstage" work?
Anyways, I will train AFisch99. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley talk 18:50, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to point out that my current student has not participated in the CVUA and has not begun his studies, even after I gave them a few weeks to get started and repeated notifications. I thus decided to simply drop the student, it's not going anywhere due to lack of participation. However, as of now, please note I am available for any future students. Thanks. --Activism1234 19:27, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
