Thank you for your AIV report, however, please ensure that users have received sufficient warnings before reporting them to AIV. Typically this means they have vandalized after the "final warning". Twinkle includes warning templates that can be used to warn users after you rollback their vandalism. xenocidic (talk) 16:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
UNDERSTOOD sorry next time i wan't do the same mistake and thanks for notifing me. Alexnia (talk) 16:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
((helpme))
wil Twinkle ever work in Internet explorer and does the rollback feature work on that browser as well?
Greetings, and thank you for saying hello ... but now I'm truly puzzled; thought I would ask -where- I'd forgotten to sign on a talk page but you have an identical message on your page ... so this is presumably automated; in which case why didn't it show up last year? There are more things in Wikipedia than are dreamt of in our philosophies... ;-) Anihl (talk) 18:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
well it's normall it's written in the welcome template which is given to us friendly(tool) users sorry for puzzling you but as seeing nobody else wrote the template on you disscussion page i took the job in doing itAlexnia (talk) 19:40, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Homestead, Oklahoma has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. – iridescent 20:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

what is exactly meant by a mainspace edit ?
Thank you for Welcoming me to Wikipedia. Do you like motorsport or F1 in particular?Motorhead12 (talk) 15:08, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
well i like none of them but thanks for replying *(few just thought you warned me while i was using huggle)Alexnia (talk) 15:12, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I was going to click "undo" and leave an edit summary, but it is faster to click on rollback, and I didn't want the erroneous warning to be there for any more time than it had to be. Thanks for not getting mad at me, and sorry for the "you have new messages" annoyance. J.delanoygabsadds 16:06, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I've never heard of you before, and today I see you blasting vandals like mad. Also, you beat me to a revert. Wow! 21655 ταλκ/01ҁ 18:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC) |
...when using rollback. It should only be used when an edit is blatantly unproductive, and there is no possible way that this edit, for example, qualified as vandalism.
I appreciate that you're a new user but please be careful. If necessary, your Huggle and/or rollback rights will be removed if they're not used according to their instructions. – iridescent 22:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
How can I spot if a page has been vandalised?Motorhead12 (talk) 05:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
You can look for random lines of text, things that seem far out of place, etc. Vandalism is not as common as Wikipedians think it is, though. I have only seen two instances of vandalism, and I have been a wikipedian since December 2007. One of them was on the page for a kids TV show, it said the theme song was "Spit It Out" by Slipknot, and it said that the genre of the show was "Pornography/hentai". Tezkag72 (talk) 19:00, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
this edit wasn't vandalism - it was a removal of nonsense, which should have been obvious if you'd read the text; another clue is the header, as gallery sections never contain plain text, only images. I've fixed the vandalism, but when most new users see nonsense, they'll just remove it without explanation so it's good to be careful. Graham87 12:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Arrgh another warning like this and I bet a admin is going to remove my huggle Rights :(Alexnia (talk) 12:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Dont worry, everyone makes mistakes, I'm sure anyone reasonable would realise that all you are trying to do at the end of the day is revert vandalism. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 15:01, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the cases of vandalism. Juthani1 tcs 14:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
This is a bit of a bad time, since I'm in Europe for three weeks and won't have a lot of internet access... however, I'd love to adopt you if you haven't already found someone! :) Well, to start off, any questions I can help answer? Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 06:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Alexnia. I am Emir34. I am looking for an editor to adopt. I have just offered adoption on your user page. Please contact me at my talk page/discussion if you want me as your/an adopter. I would be very glad/happy if you granted/accepted my offer. Or/if you deny, you can look for another adopter/editor/Wikipedian for an offer. Even if you deny, please contact me (send a message) at my talk page. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emir34 (talk • contribs) 01:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Alexnia! I hear you, but I think it's a counsel of perfection. There are times when I notice earlier vandalism and revert further, but I don't think it's sensible to read the whole article each time. Better for those of us who do RCP to revert what we see happening as it happens, and leave the stale vandalism to those who have the pages on their watchlist and those who do article clean-up.
P.S. I notice that you used to use Huggle, and you've stopped. May I ask why? Best wishes. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
