User talk:69.37.62.194

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Removal of comments on Miles M.52 talk page

Removing someone else's contribution especially on a discussion page is considered vandalism. As per WP:TALK, this runs contrary to the guidelines, principles and values of Wikipedia. If you must alter your own comments, it's always best to strike out your old comment using the s markup, so others can see what you previously wrote, editing out someone else's comments is unconscionable. Imagine how you would react if someone came by and removed your comments. I am restoring the "questionable" comment in the hope that you will act more responsibly in the future and treat this as a well-meaning and well-intentioned "heads-up."

This is a deliberate lie, Apologize.

[edit] Apology

The above editor 69.37.62.194 is entirely correct and I attribute the lost section to an editing error on my part not a deliberate effort or anything of the sort. I was going to reference the quote from the earlier comment and had moved my editing to an off-site MS Word document which I then edited and then proceeded to erase my own comment in editing. I then saw his note that "The comment about German swept wing research is purely speculative and has been deleted." and mistakingly assumed that he had made the deletion. In reviewing my own stupidity, I found the MS Word file and then compared it to the history file to see where I had made my mistake. The only thing I can say in my defence is that I had actually been commenting about a "Fokker" discussion page as well and had somehow transposed the commentary to this page. Again, my apologies. IMHO, I am a dunce at times and need a dose of humility which I accept. Comment also posted on affected editor's talk page. BTW, get a real userid, and start out as a legitimate researcher instead of using an anonymous ip. that will help establish your credentials. Check out Fokker talk to see where I got off on the wrong track, cutting and pasting from one page to another, I made the mistake thinking you had removed the comment made earlier when it was my own deletion in the secondary file that started the chain of events. Please accept my apology, just another occasion when a speedy and cursory rather than thorough effort can do someone in.Bzuk 18:14, 23 2007 (UTC).
