[edit] My edits for MCR being reverted

I'm just trying to tell people the truth based on factual statistics published in Time Magazine —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.107.239.103 (talkcontribs) 03:15, 15 May 2008

Please excuse me if I have a hard time believing that Time Magazine published such facts. If you have factual information to add to the article it needs to be cited. Otherwise, you should discuss such additions on the article's talk page. In the meantime, adding unsourced information of the type you did is considered vandalism. --NickContact/Contribs 03:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just so you know...

If someone removes the speedy tag from a page, but leaves or puts a {{hangon}} tag anywhere on the page, it is not a problem. If they remove all the tags, just readd them to the page. Just wanted to let you know because I did the same thing for a while before someone told me. Regards. Thingg 01:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. I know its not a big problem, because the {{hangon}} tag still categorizes it in the speedy deletion category, but by removing the original deletion tag it removes the article from the specialized speedy deletion category for that specific criteria. Again it's not a big problem, but I don't think its a bad thing to make sure the tags remain properly placed so the speedy deletion is properly categorized. --NickContact/Contribs 02:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 23:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
