[edit] Vandalism Thanks

Sean - having some more vandalism done on the Dave Bishop page you helped tidy up before - have requested temporary protection from user Jjor - do you have any other suggestions? -- talk

Nope. My efforts against vandalism tend to be where I happen to see it. I only stand watch on very few specific pages of personal interest. Sean Martin 16:23, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, thanks for trying to revert it! :) Glad at least someone is watching my back... -- Richard D. LeCour (talk/contribs) 06:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Query

Hiya, just curious, are you any relation to author Sean Martin? Or is it just a naming coincidence? --Elonka 00:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Nope relation that I know of. Just a naming coincidence. Reasonably common name, actually. --Sean Martin 00:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of 'minor edit'

Hi, I've noticed that you have been marking all your recent edits as minor. Many, however, have not, including: [1], [2], and [3]. While these, like many, were mostly simple cleanups, you also added, removed or changed content, instead of just simple formatting. Please be more careful about using the M notation. thanks. ThuranX 01:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I have the "Mark all edits minor by default" flag turned on since teh majority of my edits are, as you note, mostly simple cleanups. Even some of the specific edits you cite fall within the definition of what makes a minor edit. At [4] I combined two sentences into one, added a penenthetical clarification, fixed spelling and at [5] I alpabetized a list and added some info I can't believe requires any review or could ever be the subject of a dispute.
Going forward, I'll be more conscious of using the minor tag, but I don't think I've used it inappropriately in "many" of my edits. -- Sean Martin 17:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

thank you for your assistance. i've now reported the user for repeated vandalism. Whateley23 23:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Nice to be noticed/appreciated. -- Sean Martin 20:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome, and you certainly deserves it. --Cyril Thomas 21:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Donna Rice

You made a tiny edit to this article, removing the word "first" describing Gary Hart's 1988 presidential campaign, commenting that he surely didn't have more than one that year. However, strange as it may seem, he actually did. The first one was as the front runner, ending in the photographs with Miss Rice... the second one was some months later, as he resumed his campaign, this time as a fringe candidate and butt of late night talk show comedy routines. See our article on him, which is a bit kinder than that. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 20:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Woodinville

Contrary to your recent updates to the Woodinville page indicated that portions of the city extend into Snohomish county is inaccurate (ref official city limits map http://www.ci.woodinville.wa.us/Images/Maps/City%20Limits.pdf). While portions of Snohomish county are serviced by the Woodinville post office (hence a Woodinville address) and a small portion of Snohomish county lies within the Woodinvile Urban Growth Area - the coporate boundaries are entirely within King County. - D Brocha (Woodinville City Councilmember Position 7 and former Woodinville Mayor)

I noticed you reverted my change. I read your edit summary and that had not occurred to me. Thanks you for correcting my oversight. :) -WarthogDemon 15:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Riverton High School

Why do you keep deleting the themes section on the Riverton High School article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.57.80.8 (talk) 23:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Not clear to me what you mean by "keep deleting" it since I made only one edit to the Riverton High School page. And that was to reverse some obvious vandalism. While, personally, I'd like to see a High School stand up and have a year-long theme that is supportive of gays, I really doubt "Gay is the Way" was selected over "Stand up and be Strong". Particularly when the edit was made by someone (as anonymous as yourself, coward) who has made no non-vandalising edits ever.

[edit] Warned

I have warned Hhhk about his edits. I'll have your talk on my watchlist. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 18:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

No, I didn't. I'll unwatch your page. :) --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 20:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] re:Sickles High School

Hello, D Martin!

I just reverted an edit that was made over at this article. Specifically, I removed all of the football players and coaches that were listed. I fully understand that these individual may be important to the school community, but they really do not meet the standards of long term notability that would make them important enough to be listed in an encyclopedia article. I can recommend that you check out WP:SCH#WNTI, which is a guide from the Wikischools Group on what not to include in an article on schools. Best of luck! LonelyBeacon (talk) 20:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding to the edits at this article. I don't have a problem with you removing the names of the specific coaches and players. you seem to be under the impression, however, that I was the one who put them there. Not being personally familiar with the school I couldn't vouch for the accuracy of any of the information presented. My edits to the article were largely in punctuation, format, grammar and, especially, clarity. (It would seem the students who had been writing/editing the article still have some to learn when it comes to basic English and composition skills.) I didn't add or remove any info. Sean Martin (talk) 23:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Sean, Looks like I totally blew that one. I don't know where my head was. I've made that mistake before, and I thought I was being careful with the editing histories .... just not careful enough. I am very sorry for the confusion. LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
No problem! Cheers. - Sean

Hello Sean. If you are concerned that some editors are leaving personal attacks against you in their Talk comments, you may have a valid complaint. Send me some Wikipedia email if you believe that any admin action is needed. EdJohnston (talk) 02:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps relevantly, I've just deleted some silliness from right here. -- Hoary (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, Hoary. Appreciate having someone watching my back. -- Sean Martin (talk) 19:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing comments

Please don't edit comments like that. Why not add a new comment to dispute it? Regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 21:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Because the point was to show he's making a blanket, unsourced statement to explain why he won't use a legitimate source for other statements. I mentioned the irony in the description for my edit -- Sean Martin (talk) 22:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
