Welcome and some pointers

You did pretty good on your reveting the article on Keith Ellison to remove the self-published info, but you missed User:Biruitorul's edit that italicized the words "Daily News" in the phrase "New York Daily News" which was a good edit, so I put that back in. Still good for someone new.

If you have to revert large amounts of information that are not up to wiki-standards its easiest to click on the history tab on the article's page and then find the last version of the page before the additions were inserted, click on the date/time link and a page will come up that declares on the top that this is a past version. If you then click on the edit this page it will warn you that clicking save will revert back to this version which is exactly what you want to do in such a case. You should remember that if someone else is arguing that their position is correct and then undoes your revert, if you go back and revert there stuff again you can't keep going back and forth asbthere is the three-revert rule that says if you make more than 3 reverts in a 24 hour period you can be blocked from editing for awhile. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Three_revert_rule

If you feel someone is trying to insert libelous material into the biography of a living person you should remove that immediately as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#Biographies_of_living_persons If another editor keeps inserting the libel back in, then instead of edit warring with the person you should notify Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard if you are both arguing over some non-libelous point you can seek the opinion of other editors and can use Wikipedia:Requests for comment to avoid edit warring.

Many thanks. One more question: When I want to reply to a message on my talk page, like I'm doing right now, is it typically done here or on the other person's talk page? -Three white leopards 07:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want a response it should be on their talk page, that way when they log in they get notified. Most people like to keep all the posts to their talk page and then archive them when the page gets too long, instructions on how to do this are at Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page. There is no requirment to keep all your posts as seen here Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Etiquette, some people clear their own user-talk pages after all the discussion on them is wrapped up.

Hi, I responded on my own talk page, but wasn't sure if you'd see it. The information about the Afghan Hound is from a book I found at the library called "The Complete Afghan Hound", Constance O. Miller & Edward M. Gilbert, Jr. from 1966 (3rd Edition 1975), which listed the alternate names I added in as well as the nickname. I've already returned it, so I can't tell you the page number. Sorry about that.

The information about the name for a group of squirrels came from my mother, who insists that it's correct, but I couldn't verify it anywhere either. That's why I wrote that it was "colloquial". Thanks for confirming my suspicions.--68.174.123.113 06:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Griffith J. Griffith

Thanks for that! I had never heard his full name before. I added him to the list. If you're the same Three White Leopards I think you are, then you're not a jazz vocalist who performed with Dizzy Gillespie, and you might know This Guy! --Reuben 06:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
