Just wondering what out procedure is for warning and blocking vandals? I draw your attention to Special:Contributions/194.83.12.5, while I would have put it down to random vandalism this is the third time from this IP address. It's also not just that he/she is doing it to current (and therefore) revertible articles, it's that they're creating new articles. --Tangerineduel 12:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I recommend warning him/her/it/pel kasa kree savak on his/her/its/(how am I supposed to know? I don't speak Sycoraxic) talk page, and then have an admin block him/her/it/e.t.c - most likely me, as I'm the most frequent one to visit here. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Difficult Users

Okay...I'm ready to do something (however the main wikiadmin help hasn't been too enlightening) User:217.23.230.5. He (and considering he edited User:SGCommand it could quite possibly be him and just not logged in). I don't know what to do (I've thought about blocking) however it's not quite vandalism...I've tried warning...(and I've tried bashing my head against my desk...it didn't help). I defer to...well anyone... I'm not nitpicking...just look at the contributions...or the recent changes page. --Tangerineduel 11:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

It's not really much of a problem, he/she/it/you get it just seems to have a mind-clouding obsession with the far future. If it doesn't pass in a few days, warn him/her/it/I think I'll stop now again, and later block him/her/it them if they continue with a link to his/he- their talk page. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:17, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
