  • expertninja, on 01/07/2009, -4/+77I am particularly sneaky myself. You didn't even see this comment coming did you? That's what I thought, ninja's 4 lyfe, I will never outgrow the awesomeness of slitting thoats in the night and escaping unnoticed.

  • ThreeDee912, on 01/07/2009, -4/+43Ugh, how many times to I have to say this:

    I'm a part of the "Unofficial" Counter Vandalism Unit, and we actually have a dedicated warning message that gets posted on those 'nazis' pages (read below for links), stating that an article is not "owned" by anyone, and that if they continue to act that way, they will be reported, and then usually blocked from editing.

    Most of the time, people have their edits undone because they are complete nonsense, or are vandalism (ie. "LOLZOR HAHA I HAX WIKIPEDIA!!! YOU SUX!!!"), are completely unsourced, or they don't have a neutral-point-of-view (ie. "George Bush was the worst President ever.")

    Counter Vandalism Unit:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Counter-Van ...

    "Ownership" warnings:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Uw-own1 - First warning
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Uw-own3 - Additional warning

    Vandalism Policy:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism

    NPOV Policy:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NPOV


    If you feel your edits really did have useful content, what you should do is get some help by posting at the New User Help page and a Helper can guide you from there:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_contrib ...

    If you are having a dispute with another editor, you may want a neutral mediator to assist you:

  • KirbyMorph, on 01/07/2009, -1/+32Unbeknownst to Wikipedia, I've pirated hundreds of their articles without their knowledge. Won't they be mad when they find out about my illegal downloads! I've even shared some with my friends.
