Could you please explain how my edit was "unconstructive" and vandalism? I simply attempted to clean up a previous edit. It'd be nice if you didn't abuse your editor privileges so. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.228.133 (talk) 10:29, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the Barnstar Jim, much appreciated! I was surprised, relieved, and pleased to have received unanimous support for that page move. Vietminh (talk) 03:48, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FGM

I haven't been on Wikipedia in a while, just had an inkling that I should check the FGM page haha. I commented in opposition to the Requested Move and reminded the person that started it that they ought to have checked the recent archives before starting an RM, they would have found the RfC that clearly established overwhelming support for the term FGM. Thanks, Vietminh (talk) 08:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your request for rollback

Hi Jim1138. After reviewing your request for rollback, an administrator has 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 should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing!That's me! Have doubt? Track me! 09:08, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but the IP has a point: they explained their edits and opened up a conversation on the talk page. If you do not wish to participate in that discussion, that's fine, but you cannot simply revert and give them a final warning for vandalism: they are acting appropriately. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Shrewsbury vandalism

Well done, did not notice the massive revisions - probably because Wikipedia only flagged the most recent change. Will check Page History next time! Samluke777 (talk) 20:25, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this edit [1]

I got logged out when I made that edit, it was made by me. I was undoing an edit made long ago just noticed that violated the respect for variants rule. This page appears to be written in American English, and when I uploaded that image and the caption was put in my me and another user, it was spelled without a U. With the exception of the U the caption was essentially the same, barring one or two edits made to clarify the Classic Edition title. Someone purposely put in that U, I just came across it, so I chose to fix it Thegreyanomaly (talk) 20:37, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[2] After I added it and DKQwerty reworded some parts, the form still had a U. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 20:42, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If can get consensus to ensure that the entirety of the page be written in British English be my guest, put keep in mind, we are talking about the video game, not the movie. It was published by an American company (Activision). Anyways I have to get off of Wikipedia for a while Thegreyanomaly (talk) 20:53, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Article "Grey"

I noticed your comment on my changes to the "Grey" article. I was only changing the spelling for consistency. After being reverted once, I went back through the history and realized the article's historical spelling of "color" I changed the article again for consistency for the other spelling. I added the American English template today to the talk page to reduce future confusion for myself and others. No harm done. :) —C. Raleigh (talk) 23:20, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Queerditch Marsh

First I changed "Quidditch Marsh" in the article for Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup to "Queerditch Marsh". Then when you changed it, I not only added a citation this time, but changed the other inconsistencies I hadn't caught before. Ignoring my citation, you changed it again.

I understand you don't think I should vandalize pages, but I wish you would check yourself, especially when I have provided a citation. Queerditch Marsh, in Harry Potter lore, is the birthplace of Quidditch. The word evolved over time. And if you ever find a copy of Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, you will find that the game mode in question is actually called "Queerditch Marsh". I wouldn't bother changing this one instance of the word and not all the rest if I just hated the word "Quidditch".

Thanks Samushighwind (talk) 02:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC) By the way-- since the wikia is apparently not a reliable source, can I cite the game itself? It's completely, completely silly that people are disputing a fact that is clearly present in the game. I could take a screenshot. But why does this need a citation when the rest of the article evidently does not? You can google search "Queerditch Marsh" and see that I am right.

E♭ Instead of Eb

You reverted the edit I made to Songs from Les Misérables that changed "Eb" to "E♭" (that means E-flat. Perhaps I misunderstood exactly what "Eb" was intended to mean in the original version (which I doubt, merely because I'm not sure what else it could have meant), but even if this is the case, I fail to see how making that change was "not constructive," as your note indicates. What exactly is not constructive about seeing a perceived shortcoming with an article's formatting and fixing it? 71.195.205.27 (talk) 04:01, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

The Toronto Transit Commission has its pluses and minuses. However, each day TTC riders see these things mentioned plain as day; thus the statements and editions made are objective and repeatably observable. I take the TTC, regularly. I know what I speak of. Do you? To use a common phrase that gets batted around a lot lately: "I am the 99%" The nutshell: The point of view IS neutral, and constantly 'flagging' it because you disagree does not change its neutrality Mr. Bus Driver Man.

RE:December 2011

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions about editing, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Yes, I believe you have made a mistake by undoing my edit. As I written in my edit summary:
Neither the film nor the cast and crew(including Gemma) say anything about Tamara being the mermaid queen; therefore, she is only a mermaid
I understand completely of Wikipedia's tendency to take only what news articles state. However, films are a source too; so the way they are set up matters as well. No official film material states that Tamara was a mermaid...they say "Gemma Ward portrayed a mermaid named Tamara", but not "Gemma Ward portrayed a mermaid queen named Tamara". No such thing was stated in the film's original script, books, etc state that she's a queen: not even the cast and crew, including Gemma Ward herself.
But back to what I took out stuff, even though one was sourced. As you can see in my edit, I took out all the "mermaid queen" nonsense because nothing related to that is stated in your so-called source. The only thing that's stated is that Gemma Ward played a mermaid. That's it. Nothing else. Nothing saying "Oh, she's playing a queen!". So take that as a source that all of this mermaid queen business is just nonsense and gibberish made by the press.
Thank you for your time. 75.90.114.161 (talk) 03:11, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

George Grant article

The vandalism of user EducationResource have been continually removed and/or corrected. It would be better to take the article down altogether rather than have derogatory and false information constantly posted.
