May I ask why you removed Observable universe from the cosmology template; it is part of the series and is linked to in Universe as the others are. -- Rmrfstar 14:00, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the responese. I believe it was a mistake that Observable Universe redirected to Universe instead of to Observable universe, I made the template and redirect link to the latter. -- Rmrfstar 23:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Avoiding redirects

[edit]

You have been replacing a lot of redirects with piped links. This is a bad idea. See Wikipedia:Redirect#Don't fix links to redirects that aren't broken. —Keenan Pepper 19:09, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your edit on Conan the Barbarian (1982 film). Why did you delete the references, when you made your edits to the plot? Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 05:07, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SVTCobra: I didn't have access to the reference material, so I was unable to confirm if my edits aligned or contradicted the reference. As such, I wasn't sure if the best approach was to omit the references? Perhaps I should have posted in the page discussion for someone to have checked? I'm unsure of the protocol to follow in this instance. Vampus (talk) 14:28, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Vampus: Eh, if the plot (as written before your edit) was based on source material, do you really think your edit (which I assume is just from remembering the movie) is better and more accurate? I mean, you even say it may be in contradiction to the references that you deleted. I think the safer route would have been to just do nothing. Cheers, --SVTCobra (talk) 21:23, 5 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@SVTCobra: I would agree with you if I was citing my memory of watching the movie some time ago, but this had come from JUST watching the film and even going back to the film to double check the edits I made to confirm my memory of the order of events and the events themselves that I changed were 100% accurate. Whilst I can't speak of the source material, which I take to be accurate, I would have to assume the original user to cite the references or, more likely, users who made subsequent edits to that section of the plot have made errors or editing mistakes. As such, I feel the removal of the references would be appropriate until they can be rechecked. I'm not a veteran editor though, so I'm happy to defer to wiser heads on the subject :-) Vampus (talk) 08:31, 6 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Transmorphers: Fall of Man, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jennifer Rubin. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
