[edit] AWB

this edit was worse than completely worthless. The man's from the 18th century, meaning that his name wasn't always spelled the same. In fact, it was sometimes spelled Preist. If you actually looked at the edits you were making with AWB, you would see that. I have no idea why the complete date link at the bottom was removed, since this is general accepted practice, including in persondata templates. I have already reverted this edit twice in the past, and I'm getting sick of it. If there's some sort of person who's more in charge of AWB who I can whine at about this, please let me know.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so snippy with you. Please accept my apology. Mak (talk) 19:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
