[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from {{#if:British big cats|[[:British big cats]]|Wikipedia}}.

If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the {{#if:British big cats|<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:British big cats|action=history}} page history]</span>|[[Help:Page history|page history]]}}. Take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Welcome|welcome page]] to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|sandbox]]. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}}<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> [[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 11:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |

:Fair call on the source, on reflection; the (dead) DEFRA link just appears to be sourcing the fact that the Dangerous Wild Animals Act exists, not that it's a possible explanation for ABCs. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 11:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |

::I know. That's one of the myriad of sourcing problems with that page. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 03:15, 24 January 2009 (UTC) |

You can't [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kensington_Runestone&diff=prev&oldid=265678942 remove whole, long-standing article sections], even if you have worries about the sourcing. The section could use some citations, but the content is verifiable. Please discuss this on the article talk page instead, thanks. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 11:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::Well, then why did you remove the unsourced tag. It's obviously commentary and not encyclopedic information. The burden of proof is on you for inclusion. You should know that. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 11:14, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::Please take these questions to the talk page. I think everyone agrees the article needs more citations here and there. Blanking content is not the way to handle it. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 11:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::I tried to add a tag and YOU REMOVED IT, for absolutely no reason. Because you are in the wrong you tell me to take it to the talk page. I only blanked it because you removed my tag. Guess I'm not allowed to edit an article without your say so. Luckily the tag was readded by someone who cares about quality standards. Super. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 11:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Seriously, who ever heard of having a "conclusion" in an encyclopedia article. Is this a 7th grade article? [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 11:20, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::I removed the tag because ''you put it at the bottom of the wrong section'', not the top of the section (I guess) you meant, the section you later blanked. You'll note I didn't remove the tag when it was later, helpfully added to the top of that section by an experienced editor. As for any other questions or input you may have, please discuss it on the talk page first, thanks. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 11:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::You are so full of it. It's in exactly the same place. This is harassment of an ip address, pure and simple. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 11:25, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::It's not exactly the same - you put the template at the bottom of the previous section, rather than the top of the section you meant. I agree it was pretty bad form for someone to delete the template rather than just move it to the right place, though, particularly when [[User:Gwen Gale]] was able to guess what you were trying to do. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 11:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::::Nope, I had not a clue what the IP meant with that tag on the first go and undid the good faith (GF) revision. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 11:40, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::It would be great if we had an "experienced editor" to watch over you. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 11:30, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::Try to stay [[WP:CIVIL|civil]] - you're making some good points here, but putting people's backs up is only going to encourage them to close ranks against you. --[[User:McGeddon|McGeddon]] ([[User talk:McGeddon|talk]]) 11:33, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
::::::::::You're right. It's just infuriating sometimes. Thanks. [[Special:Contributions/71.178.197.11|71.178.197.11]] ([[User talk:71.178.197.11#top|talk]]) 04:27, 23 January 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:::::::::Yep. As I said, that last section does need sourcing. You're more than welcome to help out with that. [[User:Gwen Gale|Gwen Gale]] ([[User talk:Gwen Gale|talk]]) 11:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC) |
