Replacing sourced material on Bingham's inheritance from his uncle, removed by User:MSJapan by mistake. I assume that MSJapan's mistake was to fail to notice that Harry Payne Whitney is named as an heir in the source. And that that mistake was committed by MSJapan who has been WP:WIKIHOUNDING in some sort of misguided retaliation for a mistake I once ONCE committed on a page about 2 weeks ago. A great deal of time has already been wasted by me and other editors on a pointless AFD and other pages involved in this vendetta.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:48, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Upon perusal, the source is correct, and your edit is what is wrong. I took it at face value initially, and assumed that when you wrote "Henry Payne Whitney" that was what you meant. Therefore, there's no relation to the article topic, is there? Instead, I see that you wrote the wrong name entirely and it doesn't appear in the source. Therefore, you're not going to attribute this to a personal issue; it's a pure editing error, and maybe if you stopped making them constantly, people wouldn't have to "follow you around" and fix them.

No, I deleted a source that appeared to have nothing to do with the article because the name attributed to it had nothing to do with the article topic. Burden of proof is on the adder of sources, not the deleter. If a cited piece read "Einstein said e = MC Hammer", I assume the source says that, and when it doesn't, that's not something I need to fix, because the source isn't supporting the claim. I don't know what you intended to write, I only know what you did write, and I'm not liable for your "mistakes". MSJapan (talk) 19:14, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Irresponsible, angry deletions are just that: irresponsible. It is always best to at least know sometig about a topic, enough, for example, that you might notice the similarity of the names involved - and the mother's name, before wading into a topic with which you are unfamiliar and deleting stuff.
