Here's what happened

edit

Another IP reverted the first IP's vandalism 2 minutes after it occurred. You came along 3 minutes later and reverted the 2nd IP, replacing the vandalism. Now that of course looked like vandalism, although I accepted that you didn't mean to do it and we all probably have done that at some time. Dougweller (talk) 18:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's nice but I can't edit now because I've been blocked. What you said was true, I was trying to get rid of it but I messed up.

OK, I've unblocked you. It looked very suspiciously like the IP who had done the original vandalism created a named account to continue. Favonian (talk) 18:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Seeing African tiger (talk · contribs) and Xylophone clown (talk · contribs) and their edits on the same article, this is obvious. Dougweller (talk) 20:27, 30 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
