Etail in India

Hiya - just a thought, but isn't this a bit harsh? Newbies often think that blanking the page will cure the problem, so I suspect that was the editor's intention. I've found that if they do so it's appropriate to leave it blank and insert the db-author tag instead. Thanks! gb 11:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Jack Ryan edit

"Hi, the recent edit you made to Jack Ryan (Senate candidate) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Cometstyles 12:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)"

Hello,

To be frank, I have no idea what you mean by saying that my edit appears "unconstructive." Someone had lied in the original article and claimed that his wife was angry because "they went to vacation spots she disliked" or something. This was a blatant lie, as the sources in the article clearly demonstrate. In the future, I will try to use the Edit Summary function to greater use for other people's convenience, as you suggest; but please make sure you understand my edits in the future before labeling them "unconstructive." Thanks, though, for your Edit Summary suggestion.

Regards

Edits to List of fast food restaurants

Please stop attempting to have every fast food chain, notable or not, listed on List of fast food restaurants as this is against WP:NOT#DIR. Furthermore, reverting the removal of the location directory in Pollo Campero is also against the policy and should be stopped. 69.234.104.187 (talk) 10:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Wilmington Montessori AfD

I was acting on the suggestion of another editor (which is just above your comment on my talk) and would never intentionally vandalize a page. My detailed comments were moved to http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Wilmington_Montessori_School . I apologize for any error on my part. Daddy.twins (talk) 15:14, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

if you see I actually reverted back to your edit within a minute, just didn't see the edit summary clearly..sorry, my mistake :) ...--Cometstyles 15:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

What's the buzz?

oh ok..yeah if you think I made an error, no need to complain, just revert it back.. I won't change it again :) ...--Cometstyles 15:42, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool.

You better be sure, because I was just about to transform the whole article to incorporate the Charles Butler (beekeeper) entry when you did that! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.217 (talk) 15:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi,

I often edit my school's wiki page, and noticed you have cleaned up a fair chunk of vandalism over the past month ot so. I wish to thank you for going out of your way to do this. It is much appretiated!

Vadama

May I thank you for helping protect the article mentioned in the subject line against repeated vandalism by the user of I.P. address 203.101.110.2? I wish to indicate to you that the user of this I.P. address has already been blocked once for vandalising another page on the Iyers (of whom the Vadama form a sub-group). Although I have repeatedly undone his vandalism, he does not in the least appear to be bothered. Perhaps further punitive measures are required against the user, for him to learn a lesson. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.226.90.231 (talk) 16:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleting Spiked Review of Books

Hello,

I'm sorry for any recent confusion. I've never written a Misplaced Pages entry before and at the end of January I embarked upon writing a piece on the Spiked Rview fo Books, which I was hoping to write in installments. It was quickly flagged as an AfD but I protested, claiming that I wasstill working on it. However, after further discussion I would now appreciate it if you could delete the article. Again, I'm afraid I'm new to writing Misplaced Pages articles, so I'm struggling to get rid of the article - my deletion was just an attempt to quickly get ridof an article I'd created and didn't want anymore.

Apologies.

Ukrainian election

Boy, you're fast. Please see my explanation for deleting the "Political Crisis" section which I have given on the article's talk page (, and if after reading it it you still think it should be re-instated then I'd welcome your discussion of it there.Timberframe (talk) 11:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

what is wrong with you??

You are only 22 and live in FiJI?? What are you doing intentionally wiping out history of a town on the other side of the world. Leave my edits will you, or read up and expand the article to incorporate the history pertaining to the lives of 53% of its population! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.28.57 (talk) 12:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

UEFA Super Cup

Please read the edit I made and then read what it was before and tell me how on Earth it was vandalism, the article before contained a lot of POV and contained needless information. Please stop with your labelling of "vandalism" as you clearly don't understand what vandalism is. I'm trying to make the article more respectable. 81.153.9.118 (talk) 12:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

my discussion with 195.188.40.144

could you explain why you deleted a message between me and another user. It was me asking him to stop trying to post crap to the deaths list. I fail to see why you are editing messages that are not yours?--Curuxz (talk) 10:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

kk thanks for clearing that up. --Curuxz (talk) 10:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Penal substitution

Hi. I saw that you reverted some edits by an anon. Looking over them, there are some POV adjustments required, but on the whole it seems like something that wouldn't need to be reverted unless you suspect a copyvio or something. In any case, the anon has reapplied the edits. Have I overlooked something? (Please reply here.) --Flex (talk/contribs) 13:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

nah, its ok..i did overlook some of his edits as POV, but I think he is just trying to fix the sentences so that it sounds better (atleast to him)..nothing wrong with it :)...--Cometstyles 13:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Heh, also stop beating me! BJ 11:41, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Policy

I'm sorry. Please direct me to the policy that states "if an image was uploaded by an experienced editor it cannot be removed without their agreement". --Capitana (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

You could have just said that... the comment in your edit summary made it seem like you were advocating an elitist leadership structure of the article. My argument however would be that an image showing a complete nutter waving a "go to hell" sign can serve only to be divisive and antagonistic. --Capitana (talk) 12:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

What you consider to be a "nutter" is what that person sees as an expression of her patriotism against her enemy. Just because you don't like her sentiments, or disagree with them, does not mean you have the right to remove what is an excellent picture of the concept. When it comes to patriotism, it is likely someone will always be offended by the sentiments expressed, especially when it is expressed in referenced to a perceived enemy of that country. --David Shankbone 17:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Then if it is offensive we shouldn't have it. It's a good quality depiction of the subject I'll give you that. But the subject is probably insane. --Capitana (talk) 18:49, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Just because it is offensive to you doesn't mean it it is offensive. Many people agree with her sentiments - I know because I was there at the protest and reported on it for Wikinews. So please stop forcing your POV. --David Shankbone 18:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

!תודה

Thanks for the revert on my userspace! :) I wasn't even sure if it was vandalism, actually. I was trying to figure it out when you reverted it out from under me. :D Tuvok 13:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Why did you revert that?

Would you kindly explain why you reverted me here? The edit was factual and improved the article, and it does not seem to have been discussed. So again, why? 91.64.28.152 (talk) 21:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Due to my "using the old school way" i find it almost impossible to revert any edits. You have beaten me to all edits and i have spent hours reverting!!! Nice work. Drydom 11:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Why did you revert that edit? The Talk Classical site is a very appropriate external link.

Deletion of edit

Hi. You recently deleted an edit I made to the article on the film Glory a few seconds after I made it. However, my edit was not an act of vandalism but a genuine attempt to improve the article. I wish you would have assumed good faith and at least have added a comment explaining why you immediately deleted my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsoult (talk • contribs) 11:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your swift reply. I have found a seemingly reliable source to back up the claim I made (which I admit sounded like an act of vandalism) and will include it in the article. Marsoult (talk) 11:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

RFA thanks

.: RFA thanks :.

Thanks for supporting me! My RfA passed with a final tally of 5 neutrals, 1 oppose and 148 supports, a turnout I couldn't have dreamed of. I'm going to do everything I can to help out the community, help with sysop tasks, and of course, contribute to the encyclopedia. If you ever need a hand with something, feel free to give a shout!

Formatting of RfA votes

Hi. Re this edit: first of all I'd like to apologize for accidentally inserting an extra un-nullified hash symbol into the list of support votes, which was counted by a bot as an extra support. Secondly I'd like to thank you for fixing it so the number of votes was counted correctly. Thirdly I'd like to let you know that I would have appreciated being notified that the wording of my vote was being changed. You may not think the addition of the word "and" is very significant, but I felt that the paragraph breaks were important and would have wanted to be notified that a paragraph break was being replaced by "and"; also the way it was left, it looked as if only the first 2 paragraphs were part of the vote and as if the 3rd paragraph was a reply. I've re-edited it again to replace the paragraph breaks with "(paragraph break)"; I hope I didn't mess up the count or anything this time.

If you know of any good way to format multi-paragraph votes, I'd appreciate being told about it. I think actually it would have been OK if I'd just deleted one extra hash symbol. The way it got there is this: I had originally formatted my vote with everything indented with "#:" so that everything lined up, and had one line with just "#" before everything. Then someone informed me that it looked as if my vote might not be counted because it was indented, so I removed the colon before the word "Support". I should also at the same time have removed the previous line which had just "#", but I didn't think of doing that. Maybe it looked OK on preview. Anyway, now it's kindof one paragraph but with two "(paragraph break)'s".

Actually, I don't think your edit did fix the vote count. I think you still left that extra hash symbol in there. I think it's fixed now, though. --Coppertwig (talk) 03:50, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see. You fixed it in your next edit where you deleted that extra line that just had a hash mark. Anyway, thanks for fixing it and sorry again for messing up the count. --Coppertwig (talk) 04:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

• Errr... it's blocked as allowing loggedin editors since it can, Cometstyles, and 5 years is WAY TOO LONG for it to be blocked... and it's not a "zombie computer", but it should be unblocked, if only because it serves a large number of people, it's a public computer and a corporate firewall, so... --Ashford1982 (talk) 11:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
