[edit] May 2008

THE TRUTH DOES NOT CONSTITUTE VANDALISM, I ALTERED THE ARTICLE TO REFLET THE TEXT OF THE REFERENCE.

[edit] University of Bath edits

Folks, I took a look at this editor's University of Bath edits and they do not at all seem like vandalism. The editor corrected the text to accurately reflect the referenced article. Toddst1 (talk) 13:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks Toddst1 for trying to work out what's going on. I reverted the edits to the Uni Bath page as all I saw was an IP editor reversing the meaning of key sentences that I interpreted these as vandalism. A commentary was placed on the discussion page after the edits, I would suggest that this user make more use of edit summaries to explain WHY the changes are being made, but I now believe that the edits were made in good faith. --Deadly∀ssassin 13:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Warned you twice, didn't mean to. Damn wikilinking was a little excessive so triggered me off, for that I'm sorry. treelo talk 13:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
