User page edits?

Hey there, Billheller. I'm trying to figure out your edit here. Since it is a user page, why should edits by IP addresses be restored on there by you as "good faith" acts rather than letting the user decide what's on his or her description page? Cheers, Not Sure (talk) 00:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the comment! With this edit, I undid an edit by anon IP 89... which removed pertinent information about an individual who happens to be under investigation. As this edit was made 6 months or so ago, I can't remember the exact situation but I can gather from the relevant data that an anonymous user attempted to scrub information from a user page. We have no way of knowing (in fact we can assume it is NOT) the use himself who scrubbed that information because if it was the user, he would have signed in to make the edit to his page. I assumed it was a 'Joe Schmo'. If the actual user wants to change his page back, he can feel free and sign in to change it. Have an awesome day! Bill Heller (talk) 02:24, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

OK, got it -- thanks, Billheller! In this case, the best approach, I think, is to revert the anonymous user page edits to the last one done by the actual user. That way there is no confusion about which information should or should not be on the user's page instead of having IPs or others make that decision for him.

Sounds good! Bill Heller (talk) 22:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm TracyMcClark. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Shelley Shannon, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! --TMCk (talk) 20:05, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
