I have moved all of the redirect pages. It seems like a colossal waste of time to move everything else seeing as it directs to the film anyway.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:KennyJohnstonFlash.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:KennyJohnstonFlash.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:49, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:KennyJohnstonFlash.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:KennyJohnstonFlash.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 20:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

About comments made earlier on CVU talk page

I strongly suggest installing Twinkle. It has a few extra tabs that allow you to easily spot vandalism, request page protection, and the like. But one feature does exactly what you are looking for - when on a serial vandal's talk page, you can press the "arv" tab, add the primary target page (the page that has been attacked most), add a reason for reporting (e.g. vandalism after final warning) and it will automatically report the vandal to WP:AIV. Before doing this, you should make sure he has a final warning, or if not, just hit the "warn" tab. let me know if you have any questions. J-stan 15:13, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

hey, sorry it took so long to reply. One way to test Twinkle's vandal fighting abilities is to go to the recent changes page. Look under the interaction box on the left side of the page, under the navigation page. What you do at recent changes is hide logged in users, because most vandalism is by anonymous users. So what you do is see if there are any really large edits, like 500 characters removed. Then look at the (diff) tab to see the difference that was made. If it is vandalism, click the Rollback (vandalism) link, and you have automatically reverted the edits made by that user since the last user. Then, click on the user's talk page, and hit the warn tab at the top, next to the watch tab. Then, choose which message you want such as "general warning: Vandalism", then add the page that was vandalized, and click submit, and it will automatically post a message on the talk page.

If the user is a repeated vandal, and has a final warning, you can hit the "arv" tab next to the warn tab. Fill in the form, and it will submit it to WP:AIV, where an admin will take care of it. Twinkle is really fun and easy. You will figure it out more as you go along. J-stan 19:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Just another one of the many features of twinkle: The "rpp" tab brings up a request for protection form for the page. I've actually never used this. I'll give it a try. J-stan 21:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I haven't seen enough vandalism on that page to make a judgment. I think that if you see more vandalism on that page, you know what to do. J-stan 21:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Descriptions

What do you mean "descriptions"? J-stan 22:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I looked, but I suppose there really is no place to view messages, outside of usertalk pages. If done right, they should be in order, like from general note to final warning. I assume the reason you ask is so that you know which message to add. Well, General note is as follows:

"Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to (page), was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you."

Caution is as follows:

"Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did to (page). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you."

Warning is as follows:

"Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to (page), you will be blocked from editing."

And Final warning (pretty much the same as only warning)

"This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to (page), you will be blocked from editing."

After this, they should be reported to WP:AIV. You should follow this order of messages, as it usually is taken by AIV more seriously. J-stan 03:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Cool, I hadn't seen that before. J-stan 14:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I wasn't able to see that article. When I click on the link, it said that it was already deleted. Why did you want me to look there? J-stan 14:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I see. Well, if you need any help with anything else, let me know. J-stan 00:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit conflict

Haha, check this out: . You must have clicked to tag it within seconds of me deleting it. I saw it again and was confused because I had just deleted it. Basically you created an article containing only a deletion notice :) James086 13:57, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

If only it were like this all the time; then vandalism/nonsense would be history. Ah well, one can hope. See you round, James086 14:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Anti vandalism

Hey Ryan, on my recent editor review, Giggy suggested that I use Antivandal tool. I installed it, and it works great. I strongly suggest you install it. In conjunction with Twinkle, it is the easiest, most efficient anti-vandalism force on the project. Contact me if you have questions. J-stan 01:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, I really like it, and I think you will too. The "Filter recent changes" tool is excellent. It uses a formula to find words commonly used in vandalism. You can even filter out certain namespaces.

Also, Giggy suggested I get popups as well. I tried it out, and I didn't like it at all. You could give it a try, though, if you want. J-stan 15:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, they made the same edit, so they're probably the same person, although they both seem like testers - 148.186.4.203 reverted his own test on Total Annihilation. If they continue, keep issuing warnings. If they vandalize after warnings, report them. You can never be "too close" to an article to want to protect it from vandalism. You're trying to improve the article, and these IPs are getting in your way of that. I wouldn't request protection for the page just yet, that's for larger edit wars between respected users and anons.

Popups is a tool that let's you preview articles and if they have been vandalized, you are supposed to be able to revert them or take other actions. I wasn't able to do this. It couldn't have been that I had javascript turned off, because twinkle and avt worked fine. It might work for you, but I found it to be unreliable. It's different than twinkle, but it's not nearly as user-friendly. J-stan 15:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Glad you like it! J-stan 15:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

There's a separate filter for that, it's two lines below Filter recent changes, under "Recent IP Edits". J-stan 15:57, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've actually found more legit edits on the IP filter than I've found by registered users on the Bad Words filter :) J-stan 16:28, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll look into that. Remeber, be bold - try posting it yourself if you want. J-stan 16:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, there's a filter in the filter RC page where you can only focus on the Mainspace. J-stan 17:00, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Go to the Filter RC link, and in the middle of the top row, it says "ignore Pages outside the article namespace". click on that, and it only shows mainspace edits.

I've done that too! I got a big fat level 3 vandalism warning for it! I discussed the mixup with the other guy, and he took it down, but that was a little weird receiving the same message I had posted on other talk pages. J-stan 17:29, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Bsw2645

Thanks, & nice job on catching the vandalism to The Weather Channel (United States) ˉˉ╦╩ 05:50, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

If I knew how to make Barnstars, I'd certainly give you one. :) Thanks for reverting that weirdo's edits to pages I've created. FamicomJL 06:20, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know...I put a speedy delete tag on one of his articles and I guess he got all bent out the shape over it. Thanks again! :). I would join but I don't have that much time. Thanks though! FamicomJL 06:31, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I do the same thing with newpage patrolling. I'm not in any projects, if there are any. That's cool. How do the tools work? I've heard of them before, but always wondered how they work...

Ok, I'm sold. :) Tell me how to set this stuff up. :) Thanks! FamicomJL 06:46, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but I don't use it, I use Internet Explorer. Pretty much because it's easier to use RSS Feeds with it...FamicomJL 06:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try downloading them all tommorow morning. :) FamicomJL 07:13, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I got AntiVandal Too to work, how cool! This makes going after Vandals so much easier, LOVE the filter list. :) Thanks! FamicomJL 14:44, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Another article

Wow, those vandals put tons of vandalism there! I'd wait it out for the rest of the day, if there's any more vandalism, request semi protection. Watch out though, I think thee default choice with Twinkle is a form of full protection, so remember to double check it before submitting.

Also, notice that those IPs (of which there are actually 3) all start with the digits 82.4.x.x. I don't know what that means, but it might give a clue that it's some sort of proxy. J-stan _Contribs 16:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I saw that when I posted the above message. It's awesome that your really becoming a member of the community, making friends and all that. J-stan _Contribs 16:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
