[edit] Explanation

I just wanted to explain my recent edit war with myself. I was informed by a collegue of mine that she had put my name into the page, and that it had been promptly deleted. I was looking through the history for IP edits, followed by a reversion. I clicked one such entry, and saw that someone had entered an obviously fictitious birth. I promptly realized I had to delete the vandalism, and did so. Fifteen seconds later, I realized what I'd done. Hope that clears it up. --Milton 04:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem

What on earth is wrong with this page? The births section refused to appear, certain changes made from yonks ago won't appear either... Any ideas? --User:MellonCollie 19:37, 30 September 2006
