Good work! While some answers required some probing on my part to get fully detailed answers, you all in all did very well, and seem to have a clear grasp of what vandalism is and is not. Congratulations, and now - on to getting you ready to apply for and get rollback! :D Theopolisme _TALK 05:26, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Part 0: Prepare

If you've haven't already, be sure to be familiar with the following articles:

• WP:Vandalism
• WP:Cleaning up vandalism
• WP:Warning templates
• WP:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism
• WP:Deny recognition
• WP:On assuming good faith

Part 1: Identify

1) In your own words, write what vandalism on Wikipedia is.
A: Vandalism is a way some people use to make fun of Wikipedia in a harsh/malicious way (except copyright violation, "sandboxing" the article, edit warring, accidental misinformation, incorrect markup, removal of unencyclopedic material and good-faith edits). Some vandalism are descriptions that are "out-of-the-box", some are "random characters" (hsycnkahkaakdhakdnk), some of them are pages that are totally blanked, some, after clicking "save changes", make the size (in bytes) of the article drop or rise abruptly. Some are hoaxes, some are offending the person, animal, song, place, holiday, etc.
Correct, but can you give a few more details? Y Good now!

2) Name one place that you can look to find vandalism (the URL).
A: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges
Y Correct!

Part 2: Revert

3) Revert 5 edits using Twinkle, and then include links to those five reverts (the diffs) below.
A: 1)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thames_Diamond_Jubilee_Pageant&diff=496375440&oldid=496374523 (Rollback (Vandal)) Y Correct!
2)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taekwondo&diff=496379199&oldid=496378469 (Rollback (AGF)) Y Correct!
3)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California_State_University,_East_Bay&action=history (Rollback)Y Correct!
4)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mike_Fuentes_%28musician%29&diff=496385541&oldid=496385194 (Restore this version) Why did you revert this? In the version you restored to, it claimed something without citing any references. If I missed something here, let me know. Y Good now!
5)http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ruthanna_Hopper&diff=496379536&oldid=496379174 (Undo (since I don't have anymore functions such as real rollback)) Y Correct!

4) List in detail what steps you would take to revert the following edit.

Revision as of A Date in the Past (edit) Theopolisme (talk | contribs) (minor spelling fixes) ← Previous edit		Revision as of The Current Date (edit) (undo) JoeShmoe (talk | contribs)    (rollback | undo) (fixing up a noun)
Line 221:		Line 221:
-	Theopolisme is a user on Wikipedia.	+	Theopolisme is a pooper on Wikipedia.

A: 1A. Use "rollback"
1B. Use "undo"
1C. Use "edit" 2C. Replace "pooper" with "user"
Y Correct! Thanks for protecting me! XD

Part 3: Warn

5) On "JoeSchmoe's" talk page (see above), tell which Twinkle warning template you would use, assuming that this was his first edit.
A: Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you.
Y Correct!

6) What happens if a user vandalizes after getting a final warning or an only warning template on their talk page?
A: Blocked without notice
Y Correct!

Part 4:Report

7) When do you report a vandal?
A: When they receive enough warnings before being reported. "Enough" is decided with the user reporting the vandal. It is also convincing to report according to the vandal's warn history. If the vandal is insufficiently warned and/or has stopped vandalizing, admins will remove the report.
And how many is that? Y Good now. :D

8) Would you report JoeSchmoe for the edit above, assuming it was his first vandalistic edit?
A: No.
Y Correct!

And That's It!

Good work! I'm sure you did extremely well. Please copy and paste the text below and add it to my talk page when you are ready for me to grade your test.
