[edit] Be Careful

Be careful, a couple of times today you are reverting vandalism to another vandals changes. --Brat32 08:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I am terribly sorry. I have noticed myself doing this once today and i've reverted it immedately. I'll be sure to be more careful now. Thanks! - Abstract Idiot (talk contribs logs)

[edit] Elton John

Thanks for reverting the edits by 80.161.91.93, but this editor seems to be on some form of a mission! If you compare all his edits versus the last version by Anger22, then you will see most of it is minor/rubbish. The most basic error is that he has moved the health/drugs section almost to the bottom of the article below the refrences - the best bit added is the scissors sisters section, which is over gushy/a fans version. I have warned him that not adding edit summaries is considered vandalism on his user page, but that has not made a difference. I tried reverting all his edits, but he is so voracious I decided against it/wanting to avaoid an edit war, and to take a watching role until he goes away!

Okay, i'm going to file a AIV. - Abstract Idiot 08:40, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Which?

What experiment do you mean? Which text has been reverted or removed? Was something wrong? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.76.62.194 (talkcontribs).

No, I think it was your mistake. I did not make an experiment and I did not destroy the article! The think is that cacik and tzatziki is the same think. The article tzatziki was more complete, with receipt, etc, so I added the photo of cacik, practically merging the articles and then I put a redirection... I think the appearance now is (again) confusing...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.76.62.194 (talkcontribs).

It is generally considered good manners on wikipedia to follow this before merging an article. Abstract Idiot (talk contribs)

[edit] Userpage design

I was looking over Tawker's page, I'm afraid the markup is a bit too sophisticated for my limited skills. However, I'm certain there are some users who can help you out far better than I. We'll get something going for you. Teke 16:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blanking a page

Hi, I was trying to remove a section and put it into the talk page because it sounded too biased. I was the one who originally put it there in the first place. Every time I remove it, it gets reverted. R430nb2 00:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

It is probabley better if you discuss it on the talk page WITHOUT moving it from the article. - Abstract Idiot (talk contribs)
That's cool, that you're trying to protect the article, but if I leave that section like it is, then it will be wrong. Please let me edit it without changing it back. I didn't blank out a page, I just replaced it with a paragraph. R430nb2 00:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
Its not me reverting it, i've only done it once. - Abstract Idiot (talk contribs)
Thank you. Take care. R430nb2 00:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the hospitality. You know how you added that welcome information, it was really helpful. If only I knew that when I first joined. Good job. R430nb2 05:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion of a medcab case page

Hi, there. You recently reverted my courtesy blanking of a mediation cabal case I was mediating due to concerns by the subject of the article as the case page, potentially being harmful to the subject. I'm a coordinator of the Mediation Cabal, and I hope you won't mind if I blank the page once more for that reason. The contents of the case remain in the history, as I stated in the edit summary. Thanks. Cowman109Talk 07:17, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Year 11 / 6th form

We have an article on Education in England that you are welcome to edit. Gazpacho 00:26, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. Is there a lack of information about education in england? - Abstract Idiot [ TalkContribs ] 00:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] .....um?

Why in the name of all that is pure and good did you change the page of birthday wishes for Jimbo into a redirect to my talk page? DS 04:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I did? - Abstract Idiot [ TalkContribs ] 12:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
