Not vandalism[change source]

Hi ZW, regarding this, I'm not sure if there's any warning for unconstructive or disruptive edits, so vandalism was the closest. Do tell me if there actually are accurate warnings for these situation. Cheers. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:11, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That edit was neither unconstructive nor disruptive. If you look closely you will see that the content he added is legit, although questionable ("Unfortunately, the British government plans on culling ... devastating effects for the European badger."). Also, it was added to the wrong part of the article. You could have just reverted the edit silently. I don't think we have any warning template for this. Chenzw  Talk  14:30, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In my long experience of vandalism reverting, I have come across vandals that copy (not cut) a part of/the whole article and place the duplicate at the bottom of the page. And yes, with the intention of vandalism. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 14:59, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please assume good faith. How are we to reliably determine the intention of another editor, if we are not them? Also, there was actually new content added - it's not an exact duplicate. The idea of a wiki in which all articles can be edited by anyone may still be something foreign to some people, and it may be daunting to edit an existing article, especially if someone is totally clueless about the concept of a wiki and how wikicode works.

I seriously think I didn't deserve the Anti-Vandalism Barnstar that Auntof6 gave me yesterday. I don't understand why my performance today and yesterday has detoriorated. Perhaps it has really detoriorated, or are the admins too strict? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 06:42, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think you have been assuming bad faith too much. Not all anonymous editors are vandals, and not all anonymous editors have the intention of vandalising. Please take a wikibreak (a few days long will do) if you think that you have not been thinking clearly... Chenzw  Talk  06:44, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, this few days I will see if there's any content I can work on, then will resume rvv in a few days. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 06:49, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I gave you that barnstar because you have been doing the a lot of anti-vandalism work recently. Even though we have questioned some of your anti-vandalism work, we are assuming good faith where it comes to you, and we're trying to help you see what is vandalism and what isn't. The fact that we don't agree with all your actions doesn't take away from the fact that you've done a lot of good work, too! --Auntof6 (talk) 06:57, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about the Pakistan editor, but is this him? (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 02:12, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, should be. This IP tallies WHOIS with the Simple English Wiktionary IP in your report. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 02:14, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This guy's a good-faith editor, and based on report, you say that he has learnt a bit on editing. Considering that, I won't revert his changes for now, but do tell me what you think (whether or not to revert his changes) and why. Cheers. (✉→Arctic Kangaroo←✎) 02:18, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
