You put another President's signature (Bill Clinton) on another president's (I can't remember?). I thought it was vandalism, but you obviously were experimenting. I took off your warning --Bearly541 17:23, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

:I don't understand what you mean about "another President's signature". I have fixed a lot of links to Clinton, pointing them to Bill Clinton, as noted above, as well as a number of other presidents. I may have made a mistake fixing one of those links. If so, I apologize for the inadvertent mistake. It was not "experimenting". Again, I wish you had documented where you found it. Looking through your last 1000 edits, I don't see any page I might have touched. If you had looked at my other contributions, you would have seen that they were well-intended.

Hi. Please look at User_talk:69.136.96.119. This user has had several final warnings and is vandalizing again today. Other admins have been extremely lax with banning him. JimmB 21:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

:If you have a user to report to an admin, please post it to WP:AIV rather than to an individual admin's Talk page. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  21:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I did report him to WP:AIV, at 21:10, 4 August 2006. And have more than once. Other admins have put short term blocks on him. I have seen you take what I believe to be more appropriate action on similar vandals earlier today, so I thought I'd bring this to your personal attention. This is a particularly aggregious vandal! I won't bother you again. JimmB 21:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

:Ok, your reporting is in line with procedure, so that's fine. As you can see from [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AIpblocklist&action=search&limit=&ip=69.136.96.119], the IP address editor has been blocked until the sixth of August. Myself or another editor can review the situation if they begin to vandalise WP again after the block has expired. [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/egregious Egregious] is the word to which you refer, by the way! Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
