Hi

My edit was correct, please see my explanation at User_talk:Ifnord#My_edit_was_correct. Please stop reintroducing the vandalism. I won't revert because of WP:3RR, but I would appreciate if you undid your reversion.72.209.38.247 (talk) 04:51, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Sorry. Your edit summary [1] had me edgy on the undo button, but you are correct and I undid my edit.VikingDrummer (talk) 04:54, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You're right, I probably should have said "vandalism reintroduced by Ifnord", not "vandalism by Ifnord". That was careless of me. The vandalism is actually by the IP I put in my previous edit summary (undo didn't work so I had to add manually). Glad it's all cleared up now. 72.209.38.247 (talk) 04:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All's well that ends well.VikingDrummer (talk) 04:57, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Thanks for your kind direction and heads-up on my edits to "Audubon Canyon." I was trying to correct information that is not correct. The original author included the correct info further down the page but only after running with the incorrect info (it is not a single named canyon or a stream, it's a four-canyon nature preserve named Audubon Canyon Ranch). I would appreciate my edits to remain. I'm not sure how to message you any other way; not an intuitive interface!). As far as user name is concerned, the directions were pretty clear about not using my real name, so I used my profession. No one is paying me to post this; I simply want to correct the incorrect entry. Thanks again for the quick tutorial and feedback. ACRComms (talk) 07:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

trying again! still with barnstar love

Hi again, Just wanted to see if this is how I start a conversation.

My request: please do not reject/remove my edits, which included several outside citations. The original entry for "Audubon Canyon" was simply incorrect: there is no named canyon or associated stream called Audubon Canyon, the writer was mis-informed; the entire nature preserve, which was referenced further down in his entry is part of Audubon Canyon Ranch (the full name, not Audubon Canyon). My edits were made to clarify the distinction between the four canyons of the nature preserve and the named non-profit called Audubon Canyon Ranch.

Thanks for the follow-up; I will change my user name. But I hope the authentic, true and cited edits I made will be saved or published.

User:ACRComms, I was about to write that I did not agree because the physical place should be separate from the foundation. However, after going through the sources you are correct I think. All the sources I see are on the ranch, not a canyon with the same name. Google maps also has ACR on it, but not AC.VikingDrummer (talk) 08:42, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking out my sources, I really appreciate it. ACRComms (talk) 19:55, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome templates

Did you know you can use other welcome templates using the gadget Twinkle, for example welcome-personal. Thanks! Scrapheap Ninja Shuriken77 10:09, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re

To this [2]. A typical time for an RfC is around a month, and it started just a few days ago. I am almost sure this SPI case will be resolved one way or another during this time. When that happens, I will modify or strike through my comment at the RfC. As about results of the RfC, I could not care less. As you can see, I only voted and made a procedural comment for a closer. I did not start the RfC and did not ask anyone to start it. I just do not like when someone is using multiple accounts to vote or edit war. This is the only reason I submitted this SPI request, and all evidence is there. My very best wishes (talk) 04:45, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
