Aziraphael,

As you already know me, and I assume you wanted the name in markup, so I fixed it. Feel free to revert the change if you want. SD93981 (talk) 03:03, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Gabriel Karigamombe Mugabe

In this diff you add Karigamombe. We now have a request on Talk to take it out. I also cannot find this. Do you have a ref ? Wizzy…☎ 06:07, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, no ref. I found it while trawling through large amounts of information for an assignment. I reckon that it's accurate, but you're right, without a ref, it should be deleted. Aziraphael (talk|contribs) 12:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Tagging"

Sorry. I wrote that part adding quotes. I did that because I don't know what tagging is. I also don't know why it would be impartial to either have them or not. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 13:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. 'Tagging' is an action on Facebook when one person adds a hyperlink on a photograph, leading to another person's page. By 'tagging' someone, the 'tagged' person receives a notification, and anybody viewing the photograph is able to follow the tag to that person's page. The quotation marks rendered themselves as italics in the article, which I interpreted as expressing outrage that people would repeatedly use the tagging function as a means of publicly sending hatemail. No harm done :) Aziraphael (talk|contribs) 15:19, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think I get it. Is tagging a good or bad thing? Thanks for the thoughtful reply, and please forgive my ignorance. I've only experienced Facebook for a few minutes once. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:44, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Tagging is generally used in a good way, to show who is in a particular photo and give that person easy access to the photo. However, tagging is prone to abuse, as we saw here. Aziraphael (talk|contribs) 08:14, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
