Nation Library danger report

Hello fresh sockpuppet account! Welcome to the UD wiki. Please refrain from engaging in "edit wars" with other users. If you disagree with a user's edit, then please leave a message on the talk page (theirs, or the page that's being edited). Otherwise your contributions may be considered vandalism. :) --Envious (talk) 00:59, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

I just want to pipe in here to tell you what the rule actually are, seeing as Envious, despite trying to sound official, is mostly incorrect. An edit war is not considered vandalism, as long as the contentious edits in question aren't vandalism themselves. If an edit war occurs and escalates, the typical process involves a sysop protecting the page in question, and then the matter is dealt with between the two parties on Arbitration. It very, very rarely is brought to a ruling of vandalism. A ZOMBIE ANT 01:12, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi DDR! Thanks for chiming in. Unfortunately you're not considering the extenuating circumstances here. I didn't claim that edit warring was considered vandalism, though it's nice to know that it is not. However, this account was created specifically to target another user's edit, and tampering with pages like that is considered vandalism, and several people have been banned for it on A/VB in the last few weeks. That is why I told our friend here that such contributions may be considered vandalism -- creating new accounts specifically to revert edits you disagree with is, surely, punishable. --Envious (talk) 01:24, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

One thing you should be warned about however, is, if you're going to change the Danger Report description, please sign the edit appropriately. Otherwise you are changing the wording of someone else's report, and attributing it to them, which is impersonation, and is vandalism. A ZOMBIE ANT 01:15, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi DDR! You will kindly note that the "change" I made to the Danger Report description was in fact the original comment put in place by that user, and I did not change the wording at all. Thus, not impersonation, not vandalism, and I do hope that sysops do a little more research than that before making an official ruling. If you have anything else you'd like to say to *me*, by all means bring it to my talk page. Otherwise, perhaps you have some words of warning for our friend? --Envious (talk) 01:24, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
