Yep Im new, ..... here, but not wet. AccurateOne 02:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello. This is Kurds. I changed my username. Please go to my new talk page instead of my old one. Thanks.
By the way, assuming your IP address is 202.164.205.96, yep its me, you probably should explain why you changed "WWI" to "WWII", I reverted your edit simply because there was no explaination. The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake {Prophesize) 07:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Because I wrote the WWI originally and on poking through the history of BS as I can find it on the web I decided it was on the balance of opinion wrong. I have also spent considerable time reviewing avariety of users "User contributions" and developed a feel for how people edit pages they are actually working on. People who find out things add things and fix them. They rarely write down on the talk pages how or why 1601 changes to 1602 or the like. It is entirely possible that most wikipedians and wikipedia artciles are edited differently to that.
I however accept for the moment to follow KISS I should modify nothing on BS as that would muddy the waters of a discussion if we have one. Fixing the actual error I thought fell outside that. AccurateOne 09:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, heh, I was just wondering why you did it.. since it was kind of vague (usually there's a small explaination on the edit summary).
Oh, and also, please don't put the long string of ='s after everything. I'm not exactly sure why you do it, and generally looks bad on the final result. Coolies. -- The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake {Prophesize) 09:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
On my browser I dont see along string of ='s anywhere after anything...(double-verifies fact after all I am the AccurateOne) oops found one after the entry at the top of Bullshit Talk Were there many others I should revert?
Yep thats a bad effect.(wont do that again(probably)) Do yuo know, is there a Bakus Naur grammar for wikipedias syntax. The wikis I have been on before worked particularly hard at making special sequences hard to type accidentaly and at making the rules required to remeber how to avoid it easy.
Wikipedia has many many more special purpose display features that the primarily text and abstract content oriented wikis Ive been on before. I imagine if I wrote a mathematical formula and used square brackets and happened to need to nest them it would turn into a broken link. I Imagine there is then another syntax or even a HTML tag that says do not interpret this as wikipedia special syntax etc. The Backus Naur grammar or the pages that linked directly to it would speak to me in my native tongue, geek.
I do it out of habit in text environements to break things into bits. At a the top of BS talk I did it to end my stuff, that I hoped would end the edit war or at least prompt a dialogue. I expected to later delete everything down to the ='s
Ah, well breaking things into bits is easily solved by creating new sections with double ='s. Or you can simply use a horizontal line (four hyphens creates a line). Wiki syntax is dodged with the <nowiki>tag. Nesting a bracket within a bracket on a math formula shouldn't cause problems. The Prophet Wizard of the Crayon Cake {Prophesize)
