Hi. I felt bad for seeing the message "induces self-doubt in me" and would hope that my posts (question or following posts) did not play a part in that. I know you're just trying to protect the integrity of wikipedia and it's users; I'm sure that everyone else knows that too. :) Seraphim♥ Whipp 01:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. When I keep getting the same (puzzling) response, it makes me wonder! Bovlb (talk) 01:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for improving Alec J. Spalding. Could you expand a little on why you feel the tone is unencyclopædic? Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, he sounds like a great guy, and most of it is noteworthy, but "but for many Scouts he is best remembered for his habitual rendition of Three Blind Mice at camp fires" comes off as a fansite rather than an encyclopedic entry. Can it be rewritten? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:20, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, that was the sentence I had most trouble with. It is emphasised in his obituaries, so I felt it had to go in somewhere. Bovlb (talk) 15:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I've rephrased and expanded. Bovlb (talk) 16:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for that. I did not intend for that to occur. RingtailedFoxTalkContribs 19:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks very much for the quote! Very handy. I think I just encountered a rater over-keen editor who's a bit too keen to bellow 'vandal!' I doubt he'll apologise, but...
