Nathan Bedford Forrest High School
[edit]I'm not vandalizing the Nathan Bedford Forrest High School article i'm trying to bring a more neuteral point of view to the article. The article should mention that it is black students that are behind the push to rename the school after one of their leaders. Reading it how it is now you would think that the move has the support of white students or was jointly organized by them when it is not. Also "African-American" in reference to blacks is NPOV. It is a PC phrase and unnaceptable. Black or Negro would be a neuteral term. Please don't use threats of censorship to massage a pro-black viewpoint. Whites have rights as well including keeping the excellent naming of their high school, despite blacks trying to take it over. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by YourPTR!

The very fact that negroes are trying to change the name of a school founded and named by whites to one of their so called "civil rights" African heroes is proof that negroes are trying to take over America. YourPTR! 19:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism
[edit]Thanks for reverting the recent vandalism to my user page. --Xagent86 (Talk | contribs) 07:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem! Anything for another editor! ^_^ --Sylent 07:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Aw, come on!

This was not vandalism. I removed that because I have decided to remove the question from the talk page. I have chosen not to go into a long debate about that, and therefore chose to remove it from the talk page. Please understand and don't revert this again. Ksy92003 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 4 March 2007 (UTC).
- It's quite alright. To be honest, when I deleted it, I didn't think anybody would think of that as vandalism. But anyway, all's good and well now. Ksy92003 15:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
About page blanking
[edit]Just a heads-up: if the author blanks a page that only s/he has edited, it's not vandalism and shouldn't be reverted - it should be tagged with {{db-author}} instead (check history before tagging). :) --Coredesat 13:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I think I got a little too zealous; I usually see that. Sorry! --Sylent 14:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's all right, it's an honest mistake. --Coredesat 14:29, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Clearfelling
[edit]Your script just un-did four paragraphs of work on the clearfelling article just because I deleted one short incongruous paragraph. What is up with that? 66.41.66.213 06:47, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, my fault, go ahead and restore it.--Sylent 06:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, cools.66.41.66.213 06:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, can I ask why you reverted the anonymous edit on 22:53 9 March? It looks OK to me. |The ones after that would have been better to revert! Regards -Rodge 09:52, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Sylent
[edit]Dear sylent, thank you for your help with Talk: Nur Ali Elahi, that person always deletes and vandalizes all the information on the talk page of both Nur Ali Elahi and Ostad Elahi. He also keeps redirecting the Nur Ali Elahi name to Ostad Elahi. Thanks--Persianhistory2008 16:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Did you mistakenly restore this vandalism or do you have some purpose in it? All 199.198.220.100's recent contributions have been similar vandalism. Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- I see. I guess neither one of us restored the article correctly. I think I've repaired it now. Cheers! DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:45, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Macquarie University
[edit]You have just identified some changes that I have made to the Macquarie Univeristy Site as vandalism. I work at Macquarie University and we have identified many inaccuracies and errors on the site and after much consultation and work have moved to correct these. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janinevdt (talk • contribs) 00:47, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
