A bad edit is an edit that, for one reason or another, may need to be <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Revert">entirely removed</a>. A <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Maintenance" title="Wikipedia:Maintenance">needy</a> edit requires maintenance or improvement in some manner.</dd> <dt>Remove or improve the edit</dt> <dd>Needy edits should be tagged according to their need, or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BOLD">boldly</a> changed immediately. A useful list of tags can be found at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TC">WP:TC</a>. Bad edits should likewise be tagged or deleted. Because Wikipedians do not like their edits being removed, it is important to leave concise but clear justifications on the talk page or in the edit summary. When adding tags, please consider discussing the issue on the article's talk page before adding them in the article itself.</dd> <dt>Warn the editor</dt> <dd>In the cases of deliberate vandalism or an evident lack of knowledge on Wikipedia procedure, offending editors should be warned on their talk pages. While this is an optional step, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_administrator_intervention_against_vandalism" title="Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism">Wikipedia:Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism</a> says that a final warning should always be given before reporting a vandal, and warnings should be a regular part of a patroller's duties, as it minimizes conflict, educates new editors and alerts administrators of repeat offenders. For efficiency and consistency, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace">standard warning templates</a> can be used. However, do feel free to simply write a warning if the available templates are not appropriate.</dd> <dt>Check the user's other contributions</dt> <dd>You will often find more edits with similar problems.
