- You're welcome. I actually noticed your a "newbie" because you talk page was a red link, though you're right about the standardization of my welcome message: the above is from Template:Welcome. Hyacinth (talk) 01:03, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Pandora's Reflection
[edit]The edits seemed pretty uncontroversial, and didn't really seem to need discussion beyond what I left in my detailed edit summary I left. My actions were not wrong, they fall well within WP:BRD, it was merely one simple revert. The only part I really objected was the "look and feel" part, which seemed like original research, I just removed the rest because you made a number of changes in one simple edit. I'm find with you reinstating most of the other changes. Other thoughts:
- You are correct, the orphan tag didn't need to be there. I'm fine with removing that.
- This edit you keep on making doesn't making here and here doesn't make any sense. No "quote" or mark is there, that originates in a typo I made in mine when I originally made the article. Please stop re-adding that.
- You need not try to add your signature to your edit summaries, as you keep on making in edit summaries like this one. You don't sign edit summaries with the~~~~ marks, only do that on talk pages.
Let me know if you have any other concerns, though again, I don't believe your level of "disappointment" is warranted here. These were very minor edits/changes. Sergecross73 msg me 00:52, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why you're taking things so personally, it's very simple what happened. The fact that you made the original edits on an IP address with no editing history, and added information in which clearly violated original research (The "Look and Feel" comment - Something you've since removed from the article yourself, so I assume you acknowledge that it was not a good addition.) made it look like you didn't know what you were doing, so all your changes were reverted. Did some minor "acceptable changes" get reverted at the same time (like the part about the "Impact field"?) Yes. If you don't like this, I'd recommend not making so many changes in a single edit. But most of the other changes, you've re-added, and I haven't challenged. So I don't see what your problem is. Some other thoughts:
- Regarding the orphan tag, I wasn't saying you needed my approval, I was just saying that I was fine with it's removal. (You know, like clarifying that it didn't need to be discussed further.)
- Regarding "non-sense quotation marks", I have no idea what you're argument is on this. You clearly made this edit. Its undeniable. Additionally, it was entirely unnecessary. That mark did not need to be there. It was a typo. Those marks are used for Wiki-formatting - to make things bolded or italics. That extra one you restored served no purpose. Thus, my comment on how it doesn't make sense for you to do.
- If you keep editing Wikipedia, I'd recommend not taking things so personally, and to assume good faith. It'll make the experience less stressful for yourself and editors around you. Sergecross73 msg me 15:56, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
