In the future, when you undo unconstructive edits, could you please use the appropriate template to warn the user (IP or registered) to stop their behaviour? There are many different [[Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace|warning templates]] available to use. Here are some common ones; please see their documentation pages for instructions: * {{tls|uw-test1}} β For the first case of what appears to be a test edit * {{tls|uw-subtle1}} β For the first case of editing in a manner that is [[WP:SNEAKY|difficult to distinguish]] from vandalism * {{tls|uw-disruptive1}} β For the first case of [[Wikipedia:Disruptive editing|disruptive editing]] * {{tls|uw-vandalism1}} β For the first case of clear [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] Each time we use these warnings they should be placed under the title "=='''{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}'''==" (updated to the current month and year), on the user's [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]]. Beyond those listed above, there are also higher level warnings for continued unconstructive editing (see the template documentation for details); if previous warnings have been given under that title, add the next level warning beneath the others, within that section. Individual cases must be dealt with as seems appropriate. If the user has not been actively unconstructively editing for a few weeks or months, start a new section. It may sometimes be appropriate to [[cut to the chase]] and use: * {{tls|Uw-vandalism4im}} β Last or only warning The value of warning is three-fold: * Firstly β it may be heeded * Secondly β it allows other editors to quickly see if that user has been vandalizing frequently or recently * Lastly β administrators require that warnings have been given before they can or will act against persistent vandals If a vandal is ''on a spree'' or has reached a level 4 vandalism warning and is currently active, waste no time in reporting them to [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism]]. Thanks again for helping to protect articles on Wikipedia. Happy editing! π {{{{{|safesubst:}}}Usig}}<noinclude> {{documentation}} </noinclude>
