Vandalism
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5

Hi, I'm Marianna251. My main goal on Wikipedia is to combat vandalism. However, I may also update pages I have an interest in, usually in psychology, crime, or occasionally history. I'll also do drive-by grammar/spelling corrections wherever I see a mistake. For reference, I'm British, use UK English, and write my dates DD/MM/YYYY.

If you feel I have reverted an edit in error, please leave a message on my talk page to let me know.

Important note

I am only semi-active, meaning I'm not on the site regularly and may vanish without warning. If you leave me a message and don't hear back from me within 2-3 days, you can assume that I'm not currently around and haven't received the message. I will get back to you when I can.

As of 2018, I have changed my working pattern and will not be around very often.

Projects

Current/planned:

  • Anti-vandalism (ongoing)
  • Cleanup (usually template fixes and/or reference fixes)
  • Anything in my sandboxes: 1, 2

  Marianna251, you thanked me for one of my recent edits, so here is a heart-felt...
 YOU'RE WELCOME!
It's a pleasure, and I hope you have a lot of fun while you edit this inspiring encyclopedia phenomenon! Horseless Headman (talk)

  I appreciate your work! Always great to have another member on the patrolling team. GABHello! 17:36, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
  You've been on quite the tear: reverting vandals left, right, and center. If ever you remember your previous account I'd be interested to know. Regardless, I'm very impressed with your edits as Marianna251. Keep up the good work. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:56, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

You deserve this. I nearly gave you the Barnstar of Good Humor for smiling at my accidental block, but this one won. So thanks for helping to keep Wikipedia clean :)  —SMALLJIM  13:43, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

I keep running into you! (And you revert vandalism, report users to AIV, and warn users faster than me.) Good thing I have reviewer rights or else I'd be really bored. Peter Sam Fan 19:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

I don't think we've ever directly interacted with each other before, but I still remember your excellent anti-vandalism work from a few months ago and am happy you've come back. Sro23 (talk) 17:22, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

For staying cool when slapped for no reason. Yintan  21:12, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
  I'm impressed with the hate you've been getting; it's indicative of your effectiveness on wiki. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:12, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
ALSO:
  Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Self-trouted for being a twit. Marianna251TALK 01:43, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
