Wow, you got to proofreading Canal de Marseille even before I got the request up....nice work! Thanks! Lazulilasher (talk) 21:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Buy one get one free

Regarding a recent query about editting Buy one get one free. I felt the text I removed was confusing, and it read like speculation/opinion rather than an encyclopedia entry.Wizlop (talk) 16:02, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I have editted the Buy one get one free page now, for clarity. I have including several small paragraphs, each dealing with a slghtly different aspect- history, technique , controversy etc. I feel that it reads better now that it did previously, and the scope is their for each section to be expanded with relevant research and links, which I hope peopel will add to support the article. I have included a lot of discussion in the talk section.Wizlop (talk) 16:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Arcángel

Took me a while to find the title of the article I deleted here. There were two problems with it: One, it was a poorly-written fluff piece with little to no verifiable evidence of notability, and no references (though I probably wouldn't have speedied it if I found it today) and two, it was entirely in Spanish, and quite possibly copied from somewhere else. If you can avoid those problems, knock yourself out. :-) Grandmasterka 23:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

GAN Interstate 70 in Utah

Thanks for volunteering. This is my first attempt to get an article up to GA status. I hope to learn enough from the experience to help myself and others get more articles to GA status. Don't worry about what happened with User: NE2. It's all water under the bridge now. We have worked together since this incident. NE2 does have an abrasive style, but is a competent contributor who cares about the encyclopedia. Davemeistermoab (talk) 02:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your review and kind words.Davemeistermoab (talk) 07:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

As you have mentioned that there are grammar errors in this article. Another person commented the article could be better wikified and perhaps an external links section. So I have made some minor changes. If you feel any of these changes has degraded the article in anyway please advise or revert. Again thanks Davemeistermoab (talk) 06:15, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Interstate 70 in Utah just barely passed the FA process. Thanks for your help in reviewing and copyediting the article.Dave (talk) 02:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

TACA Flight 390

The registration EI-TAF is listed on several aircraft databases, including this one:

http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20080530-0

and is the same registration when it flew with Martinair livery from 2007-05-01 to 2008-03-01. If you look at this link:

http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A320/1374.html

you will see it had five different liverys in between 2001 (construction) and 2008, three of them being TACA.

Re:Clever Vandal...

I have learned to pretty much ignore edit summaries... with Huggle I rarely look at them unless someone has removed a lot of text and I briefly consider that might be for a good reason. (It never is, though.) We'll just keep slogging along, eh?  :-) ... discospinster _talk 02:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome

I've not been doing RC patrol very long, and I have already seen my share of spiteful users. This morning one reported me to AIAV for vandalism, said I was abusing rollback and spent over an hour wasting everyones time. Anyways, have a good day. Landon1980 (talk) 04:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Specs for King Air 350

Hi, I've read your comment in Talk:Beechcraft Super King Air#Specifications for KA350?, and believe that if this version differs significantly from the B200, then it might make sense to include its specs also. Don't know what other editors think, maybe giving a look to other planes with a large number of versions (eg: Bf-109, P-51) might help?

Request for Rollback

Hi! I've fulfilled your request for rollback. Please remember to use it only for clear cut vandalism per WP:RBK - feel free to ask me if you have any queries! Pedro :  Chat  23:53, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 23:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Regarding rolling back unexplained deletions. Personally I err on the side of caution on these, but it is context specific. WP:UNDO lets you leave an immediate "rv unexplained blanking" message so it helps clarify things. Having said that, blanking of a large part of a non confrontational article (say Helium) would seem to be a poor edit and rollback would be fine. Blanking of any section of an article under WP:BLP would require more consideration before reverting. I view rollback as a tool that requires a certain level of discretion, hence why it's not just given out on auto-confirm. The over-riding concept is - if in doubt don't. Manually undo the edit instead and use an edit summary that jutifies it. Hope that helps. Pedro :  Chat  00:16, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

It does, thank you very much. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 00:17, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Most welcome. Happy editing! Pedro :  Chat  00:30, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

edits to How Soon is Now?

Not vandalism, nor testing, nor intentionally incorrect. You have seen the movie, correct? The own article states it was about witchcraft, and in the popular culture footnotes it mentions that it brought interest to witchcraft AND WICCA. I would appreciate it if you actually read what you revert. At the very least its a confusion of practice/religion, can you tell me how that is vandalism please? Also, I've been editing for ages, so welcome to you too I suppose. 24.175.72.249 (talk) 01:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

After looking at it, you are correct. This is indeed a legitamate edit. So is the whirlwind of Huggle; in my vandalism-reverting, I took the substitution of witches for Wiccans to be slander. I neglected to look into the subject of the article. I take full responsibility for this blunder (of course), and will proceed to revert my edit. My deepest apologies. Robert Skyhawk (Talk) 01:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Hah, I came back here to add an edit to what I said, but you caught me before I added one. I'm sorry for being so needlessly snippy, I take work home. In other news, I'm glad you work against vandalism, it's people who do that who make Wikipedia respectable.24.175.72.249 (talk) 01:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
