tutorial listed on the main page. There is no mention of removing warnings being an issue. When I got the warning, I figured I knew what vandalism was and what the warning was for and haven't received a warning since. You would think that someone with subvercive intentions would receive multiple warnings, likely have been banned for a time - none of which pertain to me. My unsigned post of “ha ha ha” to an IP:Talk that had committed blatant vandalism was ill considered. It was also done before becoming slightly wikiholic. I have rectified that situation by returning it to my talk page. I take my status seriously and am working to improve wikipedia. That is why a good portion of my edits have been to disambiguate such an exciting topic as

within Knowledge (XXG)), but I think I will likely make an exception in this case. I was actually in about the same boat as you when I began writing this tool, so I entirely understand where you're coming from. But anyway, I'm on my way to bed right now, but tomorrow evening I will have decided what to do (perhaps after some discussion with my fellow moderators). However, if you are rejected, I do strongly encourage you to resubmit your name in a couple of weeks, once you have more evidence to support your intentions.

the other hand, (from the Latin word carriara, signifying a carriage-road) means to travel at a headlong pace. I now see from the comments of others and from a brief search of the Web that in the U.S.A. 'careen' has been increasingly used to mean 'career' in recent decades. However, as Knowledge (XXG) is an international resource, I think it will be clearer to all if the traditional semantic distinction between the words is adhered to.

3005: 3445: 2825: 2699: 3246: 3173: 1088: 196:, I am left with a question. When you say “(→Your VandalProof application - Removing warnings = no vp for you)” do you mean forget about it (period), because I made a warning-removal mistake (early in my wikilife) – that’s it, it’s final? Is this something that you will reconsider at a later date? Has any of this further clarified what I am trying to do and what my intentions are? -- 890: 935: 86:

have to date 282 edits, only 172 of those were in mainspace and a fair percentage of those seem disambig pages or minor. I would really like to see more evidence of your experience dealing with vandalism (which of course you do not need VP to do). Perhaps try again in a couple of weeks? Thank you for your interest and hope to see your app in the not too distant future! -

winner"), like a head of a country or an institution. So I'm beginning to think that since a template was used to tie all the Best Picture winners, maybe a template can also be used to tie all the winners in the same category. What do you say? Of course, being a template, it means putting it at the bottom of a page, so that will not cause that much trouble.

2934: 179:. It took some learning and in that case, I think I had a learning-curve misfire and reverted to the wrong version – but I ultimately got it right. That’s when I started using Vandal Fighter, but still find that it appears others were having an easier time reverting vandalism; to wit, the summary comments that yours displayed as referenced and 568: 1083: 1353:

No worries. It's just Wiki style, keeping things consistant that's all. I didn't mean to sound grumpy. I never said I was a Radiohead fan though! But, I am anyway.

going on about this very issue, and it's likely that we will soon see a policy change. Despite my earlier comment, I actually don't believe removing warnings to be an act of vandalism, though I do believe it should not be tolerated. And, as an aside, the edit summary was simply a really bad joke on

My editing was not vandalism. I corrected the misuse of the word 'careen' in a number of entries. Careen (from the Latin word carina, signifying the keel of a ship) means to lean to the side. Its original and primary application is to vessels beached at low tide for repairs to the hull. Career, on

It would have never occurred to me that removing a {{warn1}} from my talk would be construed as vandalism, but you are correct – it's on the vandalism link, provided in the warning. I took it as a polite warning and left it at that. At that point, what I knew of the talk page was taken from the

Hi there. Don't mean to sound like a fuddy duddy but please don't change "radiohead are" to radiohead is, in the radiohead article. The UK convention is to use the plural pronound for band names, "band are" for example, rather than the singular "band is" in US English. See
