[edit] {{Systems-stub}} / Systems Thinking stubs

Hello. I notice that you added {{Systems-stub}} to the stub types page. Note that the top of the page states:

"To avoid unnecessary redirects and reverts, please discuss all new stubs types at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria prior to creation of new stubs and placement in articles or tables."

I have therefore moved the entry to the relevant location. Feel free to discuss it there.

[edit] User confusion

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Scissor Sisters, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

I think you have me confused with 172.209.151.101, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Scissor_Sisters&action=history --John_Abbe 03:12, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

• I didnt mean to revert you - we must have some how got mixed up. Obviously I meant to revert the user ahead of you. It was just a mix up at TW, I wasnt being careless. Anonymous Dissident^Talk 06:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The bot never reverted me in the first place - check the history again. Anyway, no harm no foul. :-) --John_Abbe 06:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Which bot are you referring to? And I will now strike the warning, but please understand that it was not intentional, or even careless. You must have edited in the very short time it takes to actually operate the twinkle application. So its no-ones fault - you made a good faith edit, and I was obviously TW-ing while you made it, thinking I was reverting some other persons edit (79.1.207.61).

Ah, i had thought the note was connected to the MartinBot reversion of 23:05, 26 June 2007 in the Scissor Sisters history. Apparently not. So now i don't know what reversion the original note was referencing, do you? --John_Abbe 20:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverted back Wiki

I reverted Wiki back to the version that has it inheriting the properties of software engine. I put what I feel is a logical illustration of my claim of this relationship in the talk section. If there's information that I'm missing, then I'll gladly oblige. Timhowardriley (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

As noted there, not all wikis are software engines. And even if they were, it's not a helpful term for most readers. --John_Abbe (talk) 11:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
