My account is a few years old now, but I'm not very involved, so please treat me as a beginner and let me know when I've made a mistake. Thanks! Minetruly ( talk) 16:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
This is the first time I've edited a Wikipedia article, but I am pretty sure that I did the right thing. I'm the one who edited the deaf-mute article to mention The Stand in Deaf-mutes in art and literature. Did I do something wrong? Why did you undo my edit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.17.228 ( talk) 03:37, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you!.
Specifically that IP has not edited at all for the past three days per this, the last warning they were given was some seven weeks ago and the instance of vandalism you noted was back in December last year. AIV is for current or very recent instances of vandalism, particularly in the case of IP users (users without registered accounts) - an IP address may well be shared between a large number of people and may be reallocated to different people over time; the person editing using a given IP address is very possibly not the same person who was using it back in December, so issuing a warning or a block for vandalism that occurred over two months ago will probably be inappropriate.
Again, thanks for taking the trouble to make an AIV report, but please take note of the bit that says Important! at the top of the WP:AIV page. Thanks Tonywalton Talk 23:32, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- SineBot ( talk) 22:33, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
How do I display a picture on my user page that isn't in the Wikimedia Commons? (question from your userpage)
Hello, I am trying to bring WP:WikiProject Theoretical Linguistics back to semi-active status. Toward that end, I have moved all members who have not posted to the project page in the past six months to a section, "Inactive members." If you wish to be active in the project, I hope you will move your name back to the section, "Members." You may also remove your name if you are no longer interested in the project. Thanks, and happy editing, Cnilep ( talk) 17:58, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, per WP:TOPPOST I had moved your entry to the bottom of the talk page. I see you moved it back to the top, so letting you know I will be reverting your changes to put it back to the bottom again. Cheers. Akerans ( talk) 15:39, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
