User talk:EditorAboutUs
Welcome
Hello EditorAboutUs! Welcome to AboutUs.
Nice work on Concordia-College.net so far. Feel free to continue exploring the wonderful world of wiki here at AboutUs.org where everyone may collaborate to build the commons and community through their edits and participation. Be sure to let us/me know if you have any questions along the way (you can leave a message on my talk page via the talk link by my name, join the AboutUs WebIRC here, or check the "currently online" section on the homepage for someone knowledgeable and send them a message on their talk page).
I wonder if you might want to add a little information about yourself on your personal page? (Check out PersonalPages for guidance or click my name below as an example.) I would politely and strongly ask that you throw at least a little something about yourself in there as your username might get you confused with AboutUs staff or admins among the rest of the public, and I'm sure you don't want a ton of in-depth messages from confused or angry users.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you'd like some assistance in accomplishing your goals on AboutUs and if you want some help or new ideas I've found the help page to be a nice resource. Welcome to the AboutUs community - it's great to have you!
Have a most wonderful day!

Vandalism to Concordia-College.net
I will certainly be looking into this today and I will get back to you, but yes it is possible to block an IP address, I just would want to make sure that it's not a revolving IP, etc. and that I don't accidentally end up blocking another person by blocking this IP. One thing that can also help to alert you to vandalism and constructive edits made to any pages you are interested in is the "watchlist" feature that we have here on AboutUs. This can be a way to let you know when something changes on a given page so that any mal edits can be reverted immediately versus whenever we or you notice. There is a link in the top right of the page called "my watchlist." I will look into the history of that IP address and get back to you. Have a great day.
- I looked into the history of the most recent IP address to vandalize the page and I left a message on their talk page which you can view here: User talk:84.103.187.107. If they make another unconstructive edit I will block that IP address. Let me know if you have any questions.
Your username
I'm having a word with admins on how appropriate your username is & I felt you should know that. To me, it's too generic. What do you have to hide that you can't use your name? People like to see RealPeople, not aliases. What do you have to hide?
Of course, I mean no offense but my opinion is that any username which contains AboutUs should be blocked as misleading. Nathan (talk) 14:49, 10 September 2007 (PDT)
I want to make sure I'm absolutely clear: Just because I talk to administrators doesn't automatically make me one. I'm not an administrator. You have no idea how many times I have to repeat this over and over to other users - I have no idea why you automatically leap to that assumption just because of the words "I'm having a word with admins" - if I was an admin, wouldn't I say "I'm having a word with my fellow admins"?
Even if I were (hypothetically), I wouldn't take any unilateral action without discussing the matter with other admins.
A word of advice, if you want to defend Concordiacollege, explain why you think it's not a hoax/sham. Defend your argument instead of constantly reverting back. Reverting back without explaining yourself isn't constructive and it doesn't help prove your point. I think this website has been proven to be a sham. If you think it isn't, prove it to us.

Hello
Hello, I noticed your EditSummary stating that "AboutUs.org is about describing the contents of particular websites, its purpose is not to claim the exact opposite." AboutUs.org is many things besides this, and is not just made for describing web sites from the point of view of the web site as the web site itself already does this. AboutUs is about collaboration and many other values that call for constructive edits from everyone who knows something about the given page. Please see Community Reviews Guidelines for more. I would also encourage you to clarify who you are on your PersonalPage (as I did in my first message to you above) so that it is clear that you and not AboutUs is making these edits.
