Questions

Hey Rklawton -

Why did you edit my changes from the Appanoose County page? My changes were factual. I am not sure what the point of Wikipedia is if you cannot add/edit for factual info. There was nothing slanderous to my changes whatsoever.

If you are user:207.28.70.253, then I assumed that since all your other edits that day were bogus, then this one likely was, too. Rklawton 01:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure what's happening, but those "other" edits did not come from me, nor this computer.

No problem. I changed them back. Dial-up or proxy-users often "share" an IP address even within short periods of time without any indication to the user. Rklawton 20:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Michael Jackson

I assume you didn't intend to do so, but your recent edit to this page ended up removing the majority of the article. This might have been because of a bad connection (the Wiki has been a bit slow today), or maybe just hitting a wrong key at the wrong time. I thought I should let you know, if you wanted to go back and try editing it again. Cheers. --P e ruvianLlama^(spit) 03:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

It had to have been the connection. My machine is multi-tasking. Sorry 'bout that. I'd only meant to make a two word edit! Rklawton 04:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

129.120.168.51

Hi,

You reverted 129.120.168.51's second edit to Kazaam and warned him/her with the edit summary "blanking (again)." Did you actually check that edit? It wasn't blanking; it was addition of a quote. (Whether the quote was actually from the movie is a separate question...) I just don't want people getting warned/blocked if they've actually started to make real edits.

My bad. I didn't read carefully enough. I've read through so many vandalized articles tonight, that my eyes must be blurring. Perhaps I should call it a night and start fresh tomorrow. I reverted it back. Rklawton 05:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Travelled

In English, it has two L's. Best wishes, Lion King 15:47, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Is it your intention, then, to rewrite this resource into British English? Rklawton 15:49, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Why the hostility? Lion King 15:59, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

No hostility here. Why the change in spelling? Rklawton 16:01, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Because it's correct English. Lion King 16:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Please read: Wikipedia:Manual of Style before making additional edits. Rklawton 16:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Right, so when writing about an Englishman, who spoke English, wrote English, I'm supposed to use "American" English? Whatever that is. If you wish to continue this nonsensical debate, pay me the compliment of coming onto my page. However, I'd rather it finish here, as I have no interest in the childish dilution of my language.Lion King 16:32, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

As you wish. Please keep in mind that your bias against American form of English isn't consistant with Wikipedia's policies. According to the Wikipedia style guide, an article's language usage should remain consistant. In this case, the article is written using British English, and I stand corrected on that point.

Reverted the revert

Please be a little more careful in making your reverts, you just restored a vandalised page right after I reverted it. -Mulder416 20:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

We were probably working on it at the same time. Which article was it? Rklawton 20:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Umm... Dog. Someone had deleted a huge chunk from the top. -Mulder416 20:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. My pooter's been paging like crazy. I feel like I'm on dial-up. Rklawton 20:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

I wasn't trying to experiment or vandalise the Menzies Campbell page, I was trying to revert to an earlier edit, but reverted to the wrong one, which still had vandalism on it, therefore had to do it again. I thought I better explain that.

Sorry about that. It's funny what reverts can do to make it look like you've added something you haven't. Rklawton 19:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

J.J. Pearce High School

Chuck Zhou was not born in the year 2000, and he has not competed in the Olympics. He is a sophmore who just transferred to the school less than one month ago.

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to J.J. Pearce High School. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox
