Thanks for reverting the recent IP vandalism[edit]

Hi, just to let you know that next to the most recent edit in an article's edit history is an “undo” button, which you may find easier to use rather than manually editing out any vandalism. There is also a editor tool called Twinkle which may help make this process easier, and has a built in tool to warn users on their respective talk pages for various issues such as vandalism as well. Happy editing! And feel free to ask for help if you need it :) Fork99 (talk) 21:27, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in relation to the above post, you may be interested in WP:User warnings, which you should place the appropriate warning on vandal's user pages, an example how to do this is User talk:104.153.4.179. You can also use the Twinkle gadget to do this semi-automatically, it's so much quicker and easier! Please always preview the template you're about to place to make sure it actually says what you want it to say. Usually, you start at vandalism level 1 and go up to level 4, and if they go past level 4 within a short period of time, you should report them to WP:AIV for a Wikipedia admin to deal with. Thanks!

October 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm DreamRimmer. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Eungai railway station—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Eungai railway station[edit]

You may notice that I've semiprotected Eungai railway station because of the recent spate of anonymous IP vandalism, which you've been very helpful in reverting. If you happen to see similar vandalism on other articles, please leave a message on my talk page, and I'll try to deal with the matter. Deor (talk) 19:45, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for sockpuppeting

I have sent you a note about a page you started[edit]

Hello, RichardHornsby. Thank you for your work on Mindaribba. Klbrain, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

Not withstanding arguments related to the 'fruit of the poisonous tree', this is an occupied place distinct from the locations around it.
