[edit] Apology

I'm sorry for mislabeling your edit as vandalism. A few minutes before you signed up, someone was creating user accounts with semi-random numbers and letters towards the end and using them to make a single, inconspicuous (and incorrect) change: changing the year 1731 to 1733, for example. I mistook your username and your edit for more of the same, because the game was played in 1982 (not thinking that it was the 1981-82 season), and somone else took my word for it and blocked you. Please accept my apology for jumping to conclusions and please continue to edit Wikipedia; this was an unfortunate mistake on my part and not in any way malicious.

I'll add my apology to that of Choess. Single-digit changes are rampant and are a sneaky and particularly destructive form of vandalism - sorry that you got caught in an anti-vandalism net. We strongly encourage folks to add edit summaries that explain their edits, which helps us greatly to resolve between good faith and vandalous edits.
