Reach for the top

I guess we just have to keep reverting them; they'll eventually get bored and go away. I see my fellow Reach/Quiz Bowl players Andy Saunders and Ben Smith are also reverting, so there are many eyes on that page. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:thanks...

No problem, and I guess it is. It was a fair decision that reflected what happened. And edit wars are common, but with established users, are usually on more controversial topics (e.g. Eastern Front, Comfort women, etc.). However, with IP's the topics can be more obscure, as many IP's do not have a NPOV. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed. Good job. --Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 16:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
