Greetings and... test edits[edit]

Greetings John Caves Goldenbear. I've had to revert your recent edits over at Francoist Spain, for two reasons: I'm sure it wasn't your intention, but your signature has somehow appeared in the text and b) comments like "the latter's work is considered historically and academically worthless by the vast mayority of scholars throughout the ideological and methodological spectrum", however "true" they may be, need referencing. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 12:22, 4 June 2013 (Utc)

Dear technopat, thanks a lot for your advice and your information. It might be true that the statement about Pio Moa isn't strictly encyclopaedic. On the other hand, the fact that the certainly accidental appearence of my signature in the text justifies the deletion of all my work, puzzles me. I'll correct my mistakes as soon as I can. Best Wishes,--John Caves Goldenbear (talk) 12:47, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings again. There were also a couple of other issues that I didn't bother mentioning above that did, in fact, justify the deletion en masse :) Regards, --Technopat (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Technopat, I would like to know which are those issues that you didn't bother mentioning. I think they might be very useful for me in the future, as I'm new to Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. Best regards,--John Caves Goldenbear (talk) 22:28, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

Greetings again. Sorry for reverting your recent edits, but as I stated in my edit summary, your edits had left the page looking like this: [1] and I was unable to detect the problem at a glance. It doesn't mean that I disagree with the content, it's just that, as a rule of thumb, and in case of doubt, it's always better to return to the last "good" version, as anything added later can always be restored once the problem has been solved. I'll try and sort it out now, if you haven't already done so. BTW, I detected the problem because I was going to slap a {{disputed}} tag on it after having seen your note on the talk page. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 11:39, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Don't worry, these things happen all the time... if I'd suspected you of bad faith, I'd have slapped the corresponding warning on you :) Keep up the good work, and if you have any doubts 'bout how we do things around here, just drop me a note (I might not be able to solve 'em, but I can probaly point you in the right direction). Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 12:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
