Wuhwuzdat, I appreciate the idea of giving new page, spam, and vandalism patrollers a day off. But I'm guessing that the 1st of April is a big day for vandalism on Wikipedia. So I'm not sure that would really be a good day for any of us to deliberately not be on the lookout for vandals. Thanks for the effort and idea, though! Regards, • CinchBug • 20:03, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cinchbug! You and HelloAnnyong are making reports simultaneously but to two different pages. Here's the other page. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay, that explains it. I just sent HA a note thanking him/her for fixing my report, since I thought that mine had been subsumed by HA's. I've never started an SPI before, so I'm afraid I'm not entirely familiar with the process. Thanks, TK. ;) • CinchBug • 00:34, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neither have I, but HA started one some time ago and I have it watchlisted. Your comment to the article and the watched SPI both popped up at the same time, so I thought I'd let you know. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And I appreciate it--now I know...or, at least, now I know more than I used to! Thanks, • CinchBug • 00:52, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've just noticed that List of International Baccalaureate people has been hit by the same IP. I'm never sure what to do about this situation—the entries have sources but clearly POV pushing. Btw - aren't you glad you popped in today? I've been happily working here for months without a single IB incident, but when it happens it's so unpleasant. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Beg pardon, please tell me how exactly my edit to the Ataturk page was unconstructive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.248.206 (talk) 00:11, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit, which included a section that said "...did I mention that..", quite clearly appeared to be not constructive. • CinchBug • 00:18, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are you being funny? That's not what I asked you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.248.206 (talk) 03:07, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, nothing like that. If I were being funny, I would have said something like, "Okay, so a mathematician, a gibbon, and a penguin walk into a bar..." Regards, • CinchBug • 20:30, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the revert. :) I only get these rarely, they're amusing to look at too. Regards, Nifky^{^} 12:44, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, no problem at all! I've only been vandalized once (so far...), but I try to keep my eye out for it on other people's talk pages. And you're right, they can sometimes be pretty funny. ;) Regards, • CinchBug • 20:57, 28 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanna say you do a great job reverting vandalism. --Tommy2010 17:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC) Tommy2010 17:01, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks, and right back at 'ya! I've had the rollback tool since August or September, but I only just started using Huggle today, after watching you and many other Huggle users doing the job much more efficiently than I was. I almost can't believe how much faster it is. Regards, • CinchBug • 17:06, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ha, yea, it is really fast. I saw it a few times on the recent changes and saw the hg page and kinda got addicted. Tommy2010 17:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty easy to get the hang of, especially since you're doing a good job. But if you got a question, don't be afraid to ask. Tommy2010 17:36, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm already addicted to it! Thanks, and thanks for the offer to help if I have any questions! • CinchBug • 17:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wait til night time and school hours for the little kids. ;) Tommy2010 17:46, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I can only imagine! • CinchBug • 17:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am reverting an apparently-homophobic person who is removing references to cited discussions of possible homosexuality in the American Revolution. Please stop reverting blindly. 129.101.58.79 (talk) 19:09, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just because I am editing through an IP doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing. Read the edits in question instead of just hitting your friggin' revert button. Thanks. 129.101.58.79 (talk) 19:10, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, I did forget an edit summary on the last one, and I haven't forgotten how really mind-numbing it is to go through the firehose of crap vandalism and shite edits, so sorry for the minor snark in that second post. A retired admin. 129.101.58.79 (talk) 19:16, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. This [1] was the first of your edits that I saw. Given the number of vandalism edits that revolve around calling someone gay or homosexual (heck, just over the last 20 minutes!), it certainly appeared to fit the bill. On my next pass through the article, however, I saw your edit summary and left your edit alone. Regards, • CinchBug • 19:25, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your vandal warning for the user Bridgettttttte was not 100% right, the user is the main author of the article and is very new. The person tried to blank the page after I put on a notability tag. This might be a form to avoid trouble, but not a real vandal.--Stone (talk) 21:37, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stone, okay, thanks for letting me know, I'll check it out. I do recall seeing Bridgettttttte making some good edits later (mostly to talk pages, as I recall) and left her/his edits alone when it looked like they were okay. But if I made a mistake, then I appreciate your letting me know. Thanks! Regards, • CinchBug • 21:46, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks, HJ. I've heard people in the Wiki community talk about doing this, but I wasn't aware that we were already in the testing phase. I'll read up on the policies! Regards, • CinchBug • 17:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Wikipedia:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this. - 68.171.235.163 (talk) 00:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Cinchbug - good to see you active. We have a discussion going on my talkpage and also here about rewriting the IB DP lead. The article has inexplicably been reviewed, and the lead needs work. I can't work on it this week, but feel free to join in. Also a discussion on TFOWR's talkpage here. Feel free to jump in! Truthkeeper88 (talk) 16:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Finally. Thanks for the pinch-hitting. Stay in touch ... Truthkeeper88 (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
