Your account has been blocked indefinitely because its username is a blatant violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or clearly suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames, and trolling or other disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

EDIT: Ive solved the problem, I appreciate your help, thankyou. sorry about that.

Oh - good :-) I was trying, unsuccessfully, to find Wikipedia:Bureaucrats online. Wrong time of day or something. Anyway, glad you're all sorted; ask for help any time you need to. Chzz ► 16:07, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Love your work :D Thanks for attempting :) {{helpme}} Hiya, Im having a go at vandalisum patrolling and was just wondering how you send a warning message to an offender user? or is that for admins only?

Anyone can warn people. You can do that manually, or use various tools, such as WP:TWINKLE to speed things up a bit. Chzz ► 18:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to pass on just a bit of friendly advice as one vandalism monitor to another. Your recent warning on User talk:81.20.180.97 was a bit harsh. His one unconstructive edit was not particularly malicious. I had already reverted and warned him with a level 1, which is fairly gentle. He didn't vandalize (or even edit) again. Please be careful not to go too far too fast. Not only can it scare away folks, but it can make things harder to do an orderly series of warnings. Generally, it is best to advance through the stages of warning before issuing the final. Believe it or not, it will make your time as a patroller easier when it comes time to report a persistent vandal to admins for blocking. I hope that helps. Cheers!
