Please find 3 correct reports you have made at WP:AIV
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=508430261]
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=506707803]
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism&diff=prev&oldid=506204678]

Please find one failed report at AIV. Why did you think the user wasn't blocked? How will you use this in the future to help you report?

A user has blanked a wiki page. What do you check before reverting?

An IP address has just been unblocked after a block was given them for 24hrs because they vandalised. They, as soon as the block expires, have resumed vandalisng wikipedia, 3 times. Do you:

::A - Give them a general note for unconstructive editing

::B - Give them an only warning

::C - Report them immediately to WP:AIV

Please find (if any) 1 report you have made at WP:RFPP, because there has been a lot of vandalism from several users/IP's on that page

Has a vandalising user/IP ever caused you any stress? If so, how did you handle it? Please state the user/IP name

Task III

Please go into recent changes to and revert vandalism for 10 - 15 minutes. Please show the diffs, show the warnings, and, if any, show reports

Please then revert 3 good faith edits. Show the diffs, and show any interaction you had with that user
