Filipino Veterans Fairness Act

Regarding your partial reversion of my edits to Filipino Veterans Fairness Act with the edit summary "Fix the format if you wish, but dont change the sources themselves)", when I found a book listed in Google Books with the same ISBN as the pre-change article gave, a book by the same authors and with a slightly-expanded version of the title used in the pre-change version of the article, I presumed that was the same source that the pre-change article was trying to reference. I used the info which Google Books has for the book with that ISBN. See this. I'll remove this article from my watchlist. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 05:37, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops

Regarding this, oops indeed. Fortunately, sharp-eyed user:SlimVirgin appears to have fixed this here. Thanks for pointing this out. I will try to be more careful in future. -- Boracay Bill (talk) 11:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Door breaching

I've attempted to remove the "how-to" tone of the ballistic breaching section, while still adequately documenting the process. Let me know what you think. scot (talk) 15:17, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cluster bombs

The RRAB-3 does appear to have a third arm, which would validate your assertion that its resemblance to the erect penis is coincidental to the picture. I will refrain from editing that cluster bomb article in such a way any further. 216.26.210.48 (talk) 03:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timothy McVeigh

Hey, I thought that the bomb in Oklahoma City killed 168 people, not 165. It even says so on the Oklahoma City bombing page...

My mistake, edit was correct, but in my defence the editor was a known vandal, though I should havechecked more carefully.

Confederate States of America

Just to let you know, this edit you reverted wasn't vandalism, but a widely circulated and exaggerated story concerning Davis' capture. He apparently grabbed his wife's raincoat mistaking it to be his own (both cut from same material, hers without sleeves) when surprised by Northern troopers. The story ballooned from there, but none of it belongs on the CSA page. Historian Shelby Foote goes into detail about his flight and capture, and this story is in his third Civil War: A Narrative book, pages 1010 and 1011. Maybe include it on Davis' own page? Kresock (talk) 03:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I removed it because it seemed unlikely and was uncited. Since you seem to have a source verifying the anecdote, I have no protestations with it being added to an appropriate page. F-451 (talk) 03:51, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I will add some of the story to Davis' article. Did you shoot the IP a vandal warning? Kresock (talk) 04:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yes, but I removed it when you corrected me. Not that it makes much diffrence, IP is a known vandal, has been blocked in the past, and was warned less than a week ago for vandalism, thats why I was so quick to judge that edit as more vandalism. F-451 (talk) 04:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abbé Faria from Count of Monte Cristo

The article on the movie counts with a reference leading to the real Abbé Faria, clearly from portuguese origin as we historically knows, in the article on the Count of Monte Cristo, are stated, possibly wrongly, Abbé Faria origin as italian. Two situations possible: or Abbé Faria from the book is really italian or the article linked to it, of the real Abbé Faria, seens to be out of place. See this before you just revert my contributions, ok? You seen to get the easy work done instead of the real hardship of valid research and surveillance on the Wiki articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.84.193.2 (talk) 03:03, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article in question is about the book, not the movie and not the real person. In the book he is clearly portrayed as an italian, in fact he is introduced in chapter thirteen, entitled "An Italian Scholar." I resent the implication that I am the one that does not do my research, I have read the BOOK itself. Watching movies is not research. I reverted your edit because my research showed that YOU were wrong. Don't accuse others of not doing research until you have done some actual research of your own.
