Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. In addition to vandalsim warnings, there are many other useful templates there, in fact I used the uw-warn template to create this message to you. But make sure you understand how to use them before you put them on an editor's talkpage. You may want to test them first in the sandbox. Note that for a sandbox of your own, you can create a user subpage and test your changes there. I also noticed that you are attempting to become a reviewer. You should carefully read Wikipedia:Vandalism. If you had, you would have noticed the Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings section and I wouldn't be giving you all this good advice ☺. In addition, you may find Wikipedia:Cleaning_up_vandalism useful, and if you find out that you enjoy fighting vandalism, you may even want to join the Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism_Unit. Thanks, and welcome to the world of anti-vandalsim. Oh, one more thing: always remember that whenever you post anything (including vandalism warnings) on a user's talk page, you need to sign your posts as I am doing here ---> Mojoworker (talk) 23:59, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you're getting the hang of it. But, there's one more thing you need to read: Wikipedia:WikiProject_user_warnings/Usage_and_layout. Note that the layout section explains that when you are creating a new user talk page to warn a user that doesn't have a talk page yet, you should add headers for "==Warnings==" and "===April 2011===" above the new warning template you're inserting. Some editors use "==Notices==" instead of "==Warnings==", but I'm not sure of the protocol for that... If the talk page already exists and already has the "==Warnings==" header, but the most recent warning is not for the current month, then you should just add a new header for the current month. I added the missing headers to the user talk pages that you created today. Thanks, and congratulations on your new reviewer status. Mojoworker (talk) 04:18, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And since you are now a reviewer, you should try it out on any pending changes awaiting review at Special:PendingChanges since you may not get to use your reviewer status for much longer -- see the discussion about ending the Pending Changes trial and the future of Pending Changes at Wikipedia:Pending_changes/Request_for_Comment_February_2011. Note that a Support !vote is to support removing pending changes from all articles, while an Oppose vote means keeping it in place until consensus is gained on the future use of Pending Changes.

Alright, thanks for all the info! --Ghostshock (talk) 05:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
