High-definition television
edit"Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from High-definition television. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page."
I did specify a reason; it is on the talk page and the edit summary referred to it. The edit after that was to fix a typo. The article was full of inaccuracies and you just reverted back to them.
"Also, I understand the edits you made to the article, but the diff just looked like it was a huge chunk of referenced text taken out of the article. I apologize if my revert went against your intentions. I would suggest something other than removing a good deal of the table. Maybe explaining the canonical name. Make sure you don't violate WP:NOR. This should probably go on the talk page, but it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me."
The other text isn't referenced at all... anyone who knows anything about High-definition video formats knows this "information" is incorrect and nonsensical. Unfortunately, it keeps getting reverted, and the person who's doing it won't respond to my entry on the talk page or support his or her claims at all. I have referenced industry standards for each row of tabular information (where it applies), whereas this person is throwing around terms that do NOT apply to these resolutions. I understand how it might look like information is being lost, but it quite simply does not belong there. I'm not a regular on Wikipedia so I don't know what else I can do to correct this, other than to keep reverting until the other person gives up, which seems very childish and is a waste of time. 71.192.23.231 (talk) 00:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Your welcome
editI changed your userpage because I realized that {{User Degrassi}} implied fanship of the entire series, why the template only specified fanship of the DTNG. Since someone might want to create a Degrassi userbox, I figured it would be better to migrate everyone over while there were only a few people.--Max

Louise Markus reversion
editDude, why did you revert all the Louise Markus edits? There was a bunch of references and stuff in there. Like, if you have a problem with parts of it, just edit those parts. No way could there be problems with the whole thing. Cheers, and good luck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.107.72.85 (talk) 12:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
SAT DISCUSSION
editcheck out the 10th and 12th references on the list. i didnt add the references because i havent figured out how to. would be grateful if you tell me, and even more grateful if you reinstate what i added to the page, because all of it is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.111.38.176 (talk) 22:25, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
You sent me a message...
editI think you've got the wrong guy, I edited out "from you know where, natch." from the Allston, Boston, Massachusetts article. You reverted my edit and put it back in. :) 24.60.249.119 (talk) 01:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Why did you take my blog listing out of all of the regional pages
editwho do you think you are? my blog is widely read in many regions. Its not an add. Please revert all of the secions that i headhunted my listing from. you have no ethics. revert now. i dont need averts. Your job on this website is to perserve it not to police it.
I dont care about your damn polices or your point of view about blogs. its my right to edit this website as much as your. leave the listing alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.37.113.43 (talk) 04:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Humorist
editFYI, 'humorist' is the correct spelling whatever your flavour of English: I've reverted your good-natured edit to Jerome K. Jerome accordingly. Matthew (talk) 22:52, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Boo McLee
editSorry, that was a mistake on my part. Please, do go ahead and delete it. John (talk) 01:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Djibouti stuff
editIt's OK - I'm operating on long precedent here, trying to open up the last few remaining geo-stub categories that need to be done. I'm just following a model that's already been set up.
Kudos to you for your vigilance, though. And thanks for the tip o' the pin. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 03:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Try to be a little forthcoming towards new geo articles -it is frightening what is missing. In saying this though I strongly agree with you these articles should be started with a reference and the infobox/locator map 11:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Colorado
editThe year 2011 has brought many changes to the State of Colorado. We have a new Governor and other state officers, two new U.S. Representatives, many new state legislators, and a new Mayor of Denver. WikiProject Colorado is updating many Colorado articles. Many Colorado places, people, and organizations need new articles. Portal:Colorado needs new featured articles.
Can you help us? Please see our list of some requested articles. If you wish, you may join WikiProject Colorado at Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado/Members. If you have any questions, please leave me a message at User talk:Buaidh or e-mail me at Special:EmailUser/Buaidh. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Don't forget the Wikipedia 10th Anniversary event in Boulder tomorrow. Yours aye, Buaidh 21:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
