Vandal Reporting[edit]

I have seen you reporting vandals to WP:AIV. Thanks for the good work, just remember, they should not be reported until they have been given a {{Test4}} or {{bv}} warning. If they do not have one of these warnings, it is highly unlikley that they will get blocked! If you have any questions, or need any help, please let me know on my user talk page. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Chris. I think this is in reference to 195.195.56.3. The user had a {{Test4}} warning, I reported it, and then another user added a {{Test2}} tag. Should I have added a 2nd last warning tag, then reported it? Whenever there's a test4 or bv, I've just been reporting them and not adding more tags. Thanks! -- Mbertsch 15:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that is generally what I do! Good job. Keep up the great work. In honor of your great work, Here is a shiny award.

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		I, Chrislk02, award you this anti vandalism barnstar for your excellent work fighting vandals! Kepe up the great work, it is much aprpeciated. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S., i often put them on user pages but I did not see an award section so I out it on the talk page and you can move it, or do with it what you please! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 15:05, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School[edit]

Uh, don't just change the last edit. Be sure to check the history. The above article was an incidence of deep-rooted vandalism. Other than that, good job. --science4sail ^talk con 01:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to get back to the root of the junk, but I guess I didn't go far enough. I'll take a 3rd look next time. --Mbertsch 03:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Recent revert[edit]

I am pretty sure you just reverted a topic about Notable Alumni on the Malden Catholic High School page, about a kid who defecated in a bottle and was expelled. I go to the school, and this did in fact happen, and he has become somewhat of a legend in the area where the school is located. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.70.33.66 (talk) 21:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
