[edit] Muffin tops
(The following message was written to my IP address)Champaign 05:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Muffin tops, are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the hard work of others. Thanks. Konstable 04:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Please do *not* send me messages calling my genuine attempts to improve an article vandalism. I found the 'See also' in the "Muffin Tops" article quite informative and largely relavant to the topic. In fact, I am going to ask for a reversion and leave it to consensus. Next time, you see something I edited and don't like it, change it, revert it, whatever, but DO NOT accuse me of vandalism unless it is something that blatantly fits the definition of vandalism. Thank you.

PS I was reading article at the time, and did not consider it necessary to log in for a small edit. That it why my IP address is there. But even *that* should not make *any difference anyway.

- (replied on your talk page - article reverted, warning removed).--Konstable 05:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry for that, reverted the article.--Konstable 05:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I just removed a little hidden comment from the warning from this page - it is used by some automated tools to detect warnings (i.e. so you don't show up as having a vandalism warning).--Konstable 05:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

- All right then. So then are many of these vandalism warnings sent out automatically by programs then? Is that really fair? Or is there just so much vandalism that no human can actually keep up? Do you think I would be better off logging in before editing, even for small edits? BTW, sorry for my end of the misunderstanding. -- Champaign 05:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The problem was
The reason I reverted the edit is because it came up in a filter of some common vandal terms - "Cleavage". Most of the time what pops up into the filter is ok, but a lot of other times it is vandalism - here I thought it was vandalism because it was a "Muffin top" page with a picture of cute a muffin and an anon user making "Cleavage" edits, and I didn't think much more of it. Mistakes like these happen every now and then but I wouldn't say they are frequent, so don't get too paranoid about trying to avoid them. The best thing to do to help others avoid them is to use edit summaries, and an account always helps too.--Konstable 05:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pauline Robinson and Aleister Crowley
This is the most outlandish speculation I have ever seen. And I'm not a big fan of Republicans, the Bushes, of either one of the Presidents Bush! But we have to stick to verifiable information here. I am also highly skeptical of a reference from a blog site that sites this same article as one of its own sources. Please make sure your information is at least on ground that is relatively firm before posting it on Wikipedia. Posted to Pauline Robinson by Champaign 19:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC).
