THE WIKIPEDA IRC SPAM PROJECT IS RECRUITING NOW WHY ME Your recent request to use VandalProof software has been refused as you have too few edits to the English Wikipedia. We need editors to look through recently edited pages and decide whether the links are spam or not. If the link qualifies as spam, you will need to revert the page to remove the link and warn the 'spammer'. This will increase your edit count and allow the VandalProof team to approve you in future ! In fact, the Wikipedia IRC Spam Project shares many VandalProof administrators and users. HOW TO JOIN 1. Install an IRC client. (ChatZilla, IceChat and X-Chat are free. X-Chat works on all platforms) - a full list is available here. 2. Visit irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-spam This channel lists, in real time, all external links added to Wikipedia. Around 50% of the links listed are suspicious and need to be checked. We flag especially suspicious links in RED. 3. Begin Checking Links Click on any diff (the Wikipedia URL) listed in the IRC channel to begin checking and reverting as necessary. If you revert, remember to place a spam warning {{subst:spam1}} → {{subst:spam4}} We need to be able to block persistent spammers just as we do persistent vandals. Remember - If you need help or admin intervention visit irc://irc.freenode.net/wikipedia-spam-t POLICY Before you begin, please read WP:EL and WP:SPAM. These polices are the basis of spam fighting. Best Wishes - The Wikipedia IRC Spam Project Team

Apostrophe usage in decades

Not according to MoS it isn't, and not according to Jeopardy! I'm not sure which manual of style you're using, but in American English there are no apostrophes in decades. It's '40s and '50s, not 40's and 50's. Robert K S 21:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, if the MOS says it isn't, I'll have to swallow my pedantry, then. Blast 11.21.06 1706 (UTC -5)

blanking user talk pages

I reported this problem to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents‎ Somebody has been using a series of IP addresses to systematically blank user talk pages--he hit mine User talk:Rjensen a number of times as well as User talk:Hlj User talk:Kablammo and User talk:Luna Santin and probably others

What the targets all have in common is we strongly protested Stevewk who tried repeatedly to remove all the information about the Civil War from the Abraham Lincoln article. Stevewk was given a 3R suspension but may be using sockpuppets to hit editors. Thus he may be using 70.110.174.121 151.197.233.65 70.110.155.238 70.110.174.121 etc. Rjensen 23:40, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, but I don't really know what to do with the information ; I just noticed the blank on VF3 and reverted it. Blast 11.21.06 1857 (UTC -5)

User:Bummerdude62

You recently reverted my change to the page "user:bummerdude62" that is my previous user name. it was taken hostage by my friends at school and they use it to vandalize wikipedia. i did not put in blank content but put up the truth, that the login was used for vandalism. JoshDinger 00:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I see ; thank you for the clarification. If you wish, you may report that username to the administrators, so that your friends can't use it to vandalise pages any more. Blast 11.22.06 2003 (UTC -5)

Little Brown Jug

I reverted your last change to Little Brown Jug (football) because you lacked a citation for stating that this trophy is the oldest in college football. I tend to disagree, considering all of the other trophies and their respective histories listed on List of NCAA college football rivalry games. There are many that pre-date the Little Brown Jug. -- Billma 01:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

This change has been reverted back due to it being proven as fact. Thanks for stopping by. Skankboy 21:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
