Why do you have to do TWO warnings? Impala2009 | Talk 08:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Did you add "Ignore all Warnings" box? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WimpyKid (talk • contribs) 12:33, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

June 2009

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When using certain templates on talk pages, as you did to User talk:123.6.121.253, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thank you. The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 02:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I just didn't know what substituting text is. Impala2009 | Talk 03:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem at all. That message above is an example of substitution: the original is at {{uw-subst}}. Happy editing! The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 03:18, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

Done Please review WP:RBK and remember to only use the tool for obvious vandalism. Pedro : Chat 08:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

On that note, I have reverted your reversion on Joe Byrne. I believe you were probably reacting to the vandalism filter tag, but the user was blanking a section that was obvious vandalism, so you should probably retract any warnings you left them as they were acting in good faith. It's a good idea to make sure you actually check what you are doing before reverting, I realize all too well that it's easy to get caught up in the moment and act hastily, but it leads to these types of errors. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:49, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Oops. When I was in school, I always do stuff without checking what was wrong. Sorry. I need to learn about how to check before reverting. Impala2009 | Talk 07:25, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

These things happen. I've certainly made worse mistakes, as Pedro could tell you. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
