In general, good faith edits are edits that are not intended to cause harm. These include not including an edit summary, content blanking (potentially on BLP articles), or general stubbornness in terms of specific content sections. |

;Please find three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. You don't need to revert the example you find, and I am happy for you to use previous undos in your edit history if you wish. |

(1) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Larry_Johnson_(basketball,_born_1969)&diff=prev&oldid=1019865108&diffmode=source] I believe that this is a good faith edit. Although it is unhelpful, it does not look like it is made with malicious intent. Rather, the user may have decided that a rewording might have been better, although the edit caused the title to be unnecessarily long and not detailed. |

(2) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COVID-19_pandemic_in_Japan&diff=prev&oldid=1019723891&diffmode=source] This also looks to be a good faith edit. The user has added the adjective "grim" to multiple purely numerical statistics, on a page that is mainly for recording statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe that the user was affected by COVID-19 themselves and might have gone to Wikipedia to spread awareness. |

(3) [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Beastars&diff=prev&oldid=1019530863&diffmode=source] Although I am a bit skeptical on this one, I have still assumed good faith. This ''might'' be a joke or vandalism edit, but I believe that this edit was made in good faith. The user left an edit summary, and they might be young and believe their edit was justified. |

Revision as of 18:04, 29 April 2021
ello, welcome to your Counter Vandalism Unit Academy page! Every person I instruct will have their own page on which I will give them support and tasks for them to complete. Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your academy page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working). If you have any general queries about anti-vandalism (or anything else), you are more than welcome to raise them with me at User talk:Cassiopeia/CVUA/EpicPupper.
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Vandalism as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
- How to use this page
This page will be built up over your time in the Academy, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
Once you graduate I will copy this page into your userspace so you have a record of your training and a reference for the future.
Twinkle
Twinkle is a very useful tool when performing maintenance functions around Wikipedia. Please have a read through WP:TWINKLE.
- Enable Twinkle (if haven't already) and leave a note here to let me know that you have enabled it.
I've enabled Twinkle.
Good faith and vandalism
When patrolling for vandalism, you may often come across edits which are unhelpful, but not vandalism - these are good faith edits. It is important to recognise the difference between a vandalism edit and a good faith edit, especially because Twinkle gives you the option of labelling edits you revert as such. Please read WP:AGF and WP:NOT VANDALISM before completing the following tasks.
- Please explain below the difference between a good faith edit and a vandalism edit, and how you would tell them apart.
Answer:
In general, good faith edits are edits that are not intended to cause harm. These include not including an edit summary, content blanking (potentially on BLP articles), or general stubbornness in terms of specific content sections.
- Please find three examples of good faith but unhelpful edits, and three examples of vandalism. You don't need to revert the example you find, and I am happy for you to use previous undos in your edit history if you wish.
- Good faith
Answer:
(1) [1] I believe that this is a good faith edit. Although it is unhelpful, it does not look like it is made with malicious intent. Rather, the user may have decided that a rewording might have been better, although the edit caused the title to be unnecessarily long and not detailed.
(2) [2] This also looks to be a good faith edit. The user has added the adjective "grim" to multiple purely numerical statistics, on a page that is mainly for recording statistics of the COVID-19 pandemic. I believe that the user was affected by COVID-19 themselves and might have gone to Wikipedia to spread awareness.
(3) [3] Although I am a bit skeptical on this one, I have still assumed good faith. This might be a joke or vandalism edit, but I believe that this edit was made in good faith. The user left an edit summary, and they might be young and believe their edit was justified.
- Answer
(1) [4] I believe that this was vandalism. The user did not provide an edit summary, and did not provide justification on why the title was changed.
(2) [5] The user looks to have arbitrarily modified important dates/numbers, without any reliable source justification in their edit or in an edit summary.
(3) [6] The content that this user edits looks like to be out-of-place, they did not provide justification for their edits.
