Thanks

Thanks for your recent help reverting vandalism. I noticed that you were an admin on community.wikia.com and all your reverts here have looked good, as such I've put you in the rollback user group. Hope it comes in handy and be sure to let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Lauryn (u • t • c) 23:26, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Lauryn :-). Grunny (talk) 23:34, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Please warn

Hello, Grunny. When you revert a user's changes, like you did earlier, don't forget to leave the user a message on his talk page. You may find Template:User talk page warnings/table useful when doing this, to let them know that the change was considered inappropriate, and to direct them to the sandbox. Thank you. Hazard-SJ ^Talk 04:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I usually do, and would have, but as the edit came within the minute of his first warning, I gave the benefit of the doubt to the user that they had not yet read the first warning. Cheers, Grunny (talk) 04:51, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I understand your intention. Hazard-SJ ^Talk 05:06, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Grunny

		The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
		It's time you received a barnstar for all your hard and diligent work fighting vandalism. :) Thanks for all your help, and please keep up the lovely work you do! Sincerely, —Clementina talk 03:30, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Clementina :-). Grunny (talk) 03:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

A little smile

Hello Grunny, Clementina has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing! —Clementina talk 10:59, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Dear Grunny, I shouldn't be giving out too many of these, but you deserve it so thoroughly, I couldn't resist thanking you again for your great work vandal-fighting here—your quickness and accuracy is simply amazing, and most valuable. :) Warm regards, —Clementina talk 10:59, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you again, Clementina :-D. Grunny (talk) 00:11, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
