Hi Alphazelf. Thank you for your anti-vandalism work. If you want to push your good work a step further, you might considering checking the vandals' contributions after reverting/warning to see if they've done so on additional pages. Firefangledfeathers 17:04, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Additionally, we have levels of warnings available. Normally we proceed in order unless the vandalism is extremely egregious. Administrators are hesitant to block folks who only have one or two warnings, so going from level 1 to level 4 is discouraged. Ifnord (talk) 18:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Twinkle treats uw-username as a tier 3 warning by default. I should maybe have either used a tier 2 warning or just file a report at WP:UFAA. Alphazelf (talk) 18:18, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Well, I learned something new from you today! I am so very glad you decided to join us. Ifnord (talk) 19:04, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Not only for your work but for sharing something I was unaware of. Cheers! Ifnord (talk) 19:05, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting this IPvandal. Over 400 edits in some 10 days, and I suspect everything not already reverted should be. Any thoughts? Nick Levine (talk) 02:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I've seen constructive edits from this user, so I suspect that this may be a shared IP address. Alphazelf (talk) 08:29, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Sometimes vandals cover their tracks like that! Also, this one did quite a lot of self-reverts. But: I agree with you, that we should move on. (Though I think I shall come back to check on them over the weekend…) Nick Levine (talk) 08:42, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

I'd like to chime in and encourage this user's anti-vandalism work. Thank you. BusterD (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
