Your sig

Just a heads up, but I think your sig is malfunctioning. It looks all messed up on WP:AIV. --Haemo 08:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

uups, thanks, I changed it. --Krawi (de) talk 08:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

your signature

Hey your sig doesn't come out quite right. The code around the user talk part doesn't work, or something.

Bah, I'm slow.--ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk|Contribs) 08:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for leaving me a note, I changed it already ;) --Krawi (de) talk 08:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

vandalism at bajrang dal

thanks for taking notice of the vandalism at Bajrang Dal. Also, please have a look at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#Soman_reported_by_User:59.95.108.209_.28Result:_.29~. --Soman (talk) 09:26, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen the edits and I also identified them as vandalism. If you need some help at the noticeboard, please let me know. --Krawi talk 09:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Quit tattling about me on my Talk page

Its my talk page. Don't tattle about me on my talk page, go straight to admin's talk page or WP:AIV. Quit writing things on my Talk or you will be blocked from editing. 59.95.101.133 (talk) 18:47, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Dude, Krawi is correct. Cut it out. J.delanoygabsadds 18:55, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

A friendly tip from a fellow editor

Hi! I'm QuadrivialMind.

I've seen you recently reverted quite a few vandalism revisions on Huggle, and first I want to say I think you're doing a great job. I just want to give you a little tip, because I think this matter is a good thing to watch out for when using Huggle and rollback.

Please don't interpret this as condescending, but in case you don't remember, when you press the Revert & Warn button on Huggle (or, alternatively, the Revert this revision button while viewing the latest revision), all top edits from the last editor in the revision history are reverted. This is something especially important to consider when you find a page that's been vandalized by multiple accounts, which unfortunately, as you probably know, is not very uncommon.

For example, you recently reverted vandalism on the Saint Sebastian page. You successfully removed all vandalism edits made by 60.241.129.188 ([1], [2]), but I think you didn't notice that the previous editor, 220.239.143.162, had recently vandalized the page on three previous instances (See [3], [4] and [5]).

The solution in this case, I believe, was to revert to a previous vandalism-free version [6]. Since vandalism usually doesn't last more than a day, I suggest checking the revision history (outside Huggle, with a browser), and find a revision you can revert to using Twinkle's rollback feature or the undo feature (or Huggle itself, if you think you can find a suitable version there- but remember Huggle only shows parts of the diffs, not the entire thing!)

This type of thing can usually be avoided by merely looking at the revision you reverted to. In your case, your revision had a string of @'s which caught my eye. I'm not saying you're blind or anything, and I understand there's a lot of vandalism to correct and it's nice to do it swiftly, but take it as a friendly recommendation from me –just look at the final result and be prepared to undo additional revisions if you find you accidentally reverted a page to an older but still vandalized version. It's better to just take a few extra seconds and make sure the page is OK again (that's just my opinion though).

This is something that I believe to be quite the common mistake. I started using Huggle very recently, and I noticed it happened to both a very experienced editor and an inexperienced one too (myself), and that is just today. I was on my way to fixing an incorrect revision I had reverted a page to, but another editor got there first and fixed it for me. This time, I was the one who reverted your edit because I know you meant to revert vandalism. I also took care of warning 220.239.143.162, since by reverting, 'your' Huggle only warned the last editor.

I'm not here to nag at you because you made a mistake. I'm merely here because since it's happened to me too, I thought I could let you know what I find useful to do for preventing these situations.

Now, I don't know how experienced you are in reverting vandalism, and maybe this was a once in a lifetime thing and you already know all this... but I lose nothing by doing this, right? In the worst case, you learn nothing new, and in the best, you know what to watch out for next time you're taking them vandals down ;)

See you around, and keep up the good work! –QuadrivialMind (talk) 09:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


Hi and thanks for leaving me a note about this and also thanks for cleaning up the vandal-edit after my revert.
vandalism, that is done consecutively by several users is really a problem for Huggle users as well as for twinkle-users. It looks like we need more users doing the anti-vandalism job.
In future, I will have a quick look at the results of my reverts.
Thanks again, --Krawi talk 09:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Nunthorpe School

Hi - just letting you know as a courtesy that I reverted your change here to Nunthorpe School. The anon editor was right, Chris Tomlinson did go to that school according to our own article. I assume that you're using an automated anti-vandalism system and that this was a false positive or something. Thanks and best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 13:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Read what I did and why before undoing. How dare you revert my deletion without doing so first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.125.126.127 (talk) 13:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry didn't mean to mess up that. By the way, i keep changing that because it's true, I'm his dad, i should know!! It's on his birth certificate!! Poor Polka would be turning in his grave if he knew the truth wasn't out! Tracey is so distraught that she couldn't even play nevilleball today!

Im sorry

ı m so so sorry —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.180.229.213 (talk) 14:14, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Edit to James McAvoy

This edit wasn't vandalism. It was someone trying to correct this piece of vandalism. I understand that Huggle is high-speed, but please be more careful in the future. Graham87 14:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

WHAT?!

Hey man, what are you talking about?! I've changede or "vandalised" anything, okay?! I'm not even an american person, so please do not write things like that to me? THANK YOU! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.104.154.37 (talk) 09:08, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd say your edits are vandalism.. Knippschild (talk) 09:10, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
I'd say edits like this or this are not very helpful and so I see them as vandalism. --Krawi talk 09:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Rehoboth Carpenter family

Regarding Rehoboth Carpenter family - We have surveyed, we have compromised, we have repeatedly asked to user Iwanafish to communicate. He refuses with his snide comments and reversions to non-wiki versions. We have warned him "offically" a lot more than 3 times. Repeatedly, we have asked for mediation, we have asked for help and I do not know who else to ask. Can you pass this up the chain of editors?

User Iwanafish continues to disrupt and vandalize this page and it has spread his behavior to other pages. John Carpenter (bishop) John Carpenter, town clerk of London What else can we do but shut down the articles involved and provide warnings that when they are restored by user Iwanafish that they are garbage? Has wikipedia lost the ability to police itself? I am beginning to think this is a hopeless cause where such bullies can inflict such damage to wikipedia. What else can be done? John R. Carpenter Jrcrin001 (talk) 05:46, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you can report him here and make sure that you add those comments from above to your report. The user probably will then get blocked. Sometimes this is the only solution for such problems. --Krawi talk 07:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. It appears a temp block has been placed. Iwanafishhas resorted to sock puppetry with Kungtzu. It is sad that he refuses to communicate and it has gone this far.
