I will revert whatever I feel is vandalism. If you don't think it's vandalism, you can restore it. And as far as buzzing off, no way. If you wanna start something, I will finish it. YOU WILL NOT WIN. You're now in my watchlist. Anything you edit is being sent to me. Have a nice day :-) BeanoJosh 05:27, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

That's fine. I removed your warning. All taken care of. The only question I have is that you claimed your username was amerindianarts in my talkpage. Why are you not using your username? I checked into that username and it shows that amerindianarts was able to title and sign his signature on others' talkpages. You did neither on my talkpage. It also shows that amerindianarts' last edit was on the 30th of October, which was one day after you were messaging me on my talkpage. So you sign on, make proper talkpage edits, then sign off and message me the way you did? I find your claim very hard to believe... maybe I should ask the man myself.

So, what did you find out by asking "the man himself"? Assuming of course, that he is a man. Do you know that, or is it another groundless assumption? Amerindianarts 17:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 05:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I did not partake in any open discussions. I had nothing to discuss openly and was communicating to a particular user that was disrupting the editing process, which was an undoing of a long list of vandal acts that no one else had detected. 74.142.55.239 is an anonymous ID anyway and anonymous IDs are used all too frequently at Wiki. As long as anonymous IDs are permitted on Wiki there really isn't any sense to sign with tildas. As this recent sequence of events shows, anonymous editors are viewed first with vandalism in mind by the perceiver. So, what is the sense? If it needs to be known who made the edits, the history is readily available. 74.142.55.239 19:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say they were vandalism. I just didn't believe that you're the user you say you are. BeanoJosh 17:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


After reviewing the edits from this IP I can find nothing that can be even remotely construed as vandalism, or subject to the scrutiny that is being offered. Amerindianarts 17:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

No, I didn't. Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot. I'm sorry for the negative remarks and replies to you. I wasn't trying to make things difficult. I hope we can move on from this and be neutral, if not friendly to each other. BeanoJosh 05:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zuni aaw-

hi.

You made change on Zuni language concerning the vowel length of the prefix aaw-. And you mentioned that a "more definitive and authoritative" than Newman's grammar is needed. So, are you referring to one of the unpublished dissertations on Zuni grammar? Which one are you talking about?

Also, in the page history you say "See Newman". That kind of contradicts your comment on the talk page. So you're saying that Newman's grammar is incorrect or not?

thanks. – ishwar  (speak) 02:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
