User talk:Bus Stop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There was no vandalization, and I'm re-applying my edits. Susan Jaworski-Stranc and Tracey Emin's influence on monoprinting and American culture is vanishingly small in contrast to Warhol's. To suggest that an addition is a vandalization is appalling. I did not remove material, nor did I make any nasty comments. I added the person who is largely associated by name with monoprinting, silkscreening, linotyping and lithography in the modern mind. Do not roll back legitimate additions simply because they do not laud your private hero as the progenitor of a movement that is more clearly documented than any other movement in the history of art. Warhol has far, far more to do with the popularization of monopress printing than Jaworski-Stranc ever did. Don't be absurd. I'd tell you to go to the Jaworski-Stranc monopress exhibit at MOMA or to check out the Jaworski-Stranc museum, except of course that neither exist. I'd tell you to check our her article on Wikipedia, except she's so important that nobody's even written one.

Get off it. This is Warhol territory and you know it. The next time you remove an addition and call it "vandalization," you'd better have a reason.

(Bus stop has removed the text without reason a *second* time, and in so doing, has begun removing things other people wrote. This is the problem with people who remove additions to articles just because their own poor education didn't cover the matter; they start seeing other things they don't know about, and start removing them too, assuming that it's the same person talking. You've now steamrolled two different people on this article. If you do it again, I'm going to the staff. You may not make edits to remove additions to articles as vandalism without a specific reason. Your personal disconsolation is not an acceptable reason to remove legitimate, non-vandalising content as vandalisation, and you *will* stop.)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from an article. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Before today, the article attributed the resurgence of monoprinting and monoplating to a minor 1990s artist. I added Andy Warhol and made a funny if ascerbic joke in the edit summary. Bus stop rolled back my edit, claiming it was vandalism to add a reference to Warhol's having made it again popular in the 1960s. When I re-added the text and warned bus stop, he not only re-removed the text but also other text about a second painter which I had not written, blindly assuming that it was part of my supposed "vandalism."

This is the worst that editing gets. Removal of new content under the guise of vandalism is a great reason to lose your editing ability.

Can you tell me what the above means? Bus stop 16:50, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a joke for people who know art history, and was not in the article. Your reckless, blind and ill educated editing has now removed content from the article that I didn't even write, which was there before you involved yourself. Stop removing things. I am putting it back a third and final time. If you remove it again, I will take action with Duenstreib and Brion.
