Sorry about that vandalism in the Winter Greetings Page. It won't happen again. 24.34.109.34 08:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Holy of Holies (LDS)

Hi. On Holy of Holies (LDS), you stated that you were changing the links because:

Del link to the Holy of Holies in Judaism. This page is the article for the LDS Holy of Holies (subj. of sentence), so a link to the Jewish subject is not appropriate.

&

Corrected other links to Holy of Holies, when it doesn't match the sentence subj matter. Added a Holy of Holies link where it would apply.

I'd like to point out that links to Holy of Holies is appropriate because the Holy of Holies article encompasses all religious traditions, including both Judaism and LDS.

For example, please see the intro to the article where it states: A Holy of Holies is the most sacred place within a sacred building. In Judaism, it refers to the inner sanctuary of the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem which could be entered by the High Priest only on Yom Kippur. Holy of Holies are also found within Egyptian Architecture, as well as within temples and churches of other faiths and traditions, to include the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Latter-day Saints, and Hinduism.

The one link you left/created is misleading because it simply refers to "inner sanctuary" which could or could not be taken to mean a Holy of Holies. Because of this, I am reverting your changes. Best, --Rojerts 21:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries on that article. Regards, --Rojerts 03:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

What was this about?

? A Huggle bug, or what? I'm trying to WP:AGF here. Philip Trueman (talk) 17:37, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate that. Probably an ID10T error. I just installed Huggle, so I imagine I clicked the wrong thing. I was trying to remove that vandalism, and ended up putting it back in! It'll just take some getting used to, I'm used to Lupin's tool. Thanks for checking with me, quite an embarrassment! Josh3580 (talk) 17:45, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

OK - no harm done. Philip Trueman (talk) 17:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect Summaries

Actually you reverted edits by 98.196.191.191 to last version by Simonxag. Which is correct (but not what you wrote). --Simon Speed (talk) 22:07, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

And here's another - the revert is right but the edit summary is wrong. Philip Trueman (talk) 12:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, guys. I had the incorrect variables in my template, there may be a few more lurking out there. I feel like a freakin newbie again! Josh3580 (talk) 20:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

• I just noticed this one on Homer, Alaska: " (Reverted unexplained removal of content by $2 to last version by $1 (HG))" I thought it was a joke I just wasn't getting till I saw the above message. Beeblbrox (talk) 05:21, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Cyndi links

Your putting links to Reviews of Bring Ya To The Brink on the main page - they should go on the specific Bring Ya To The Brink Page. As for the article - if every article was linked to we would have hundreds of links. Does not make any sense. 70.153.171.200 (talk) 21:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Ebay reversion

Are you working for ebay? Or perhaps a sympathizer?

I added that information because to date there is absolutely NO evidence of any kind that they captured THE vladuz, not to mention there has been no additional information regarding capture, trial, conviction, etc.

FIRST, ebay did it's damnest to stifle the incident when it was happening, using outright lies to explain what was happening. THEN, they claim "Vladuz" was caught, yet other than the arrest there is nothing further ANYWHERE (and yes, I've checked with a number of Romanian sources - who've told me the guy they claimed is Vladuz is not even in jail!).

I would ask you to leave it up this time.

75.8.38.39 (talk) 21:55, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to this edit. I'll leave it up, simply because it is not worth an argument. I have no opinion on this topic. If you were to look at my contributions, you would see that I am a recent changes patroller. As I was patrolling, you added what appeared to be a unreferenced statement in an extremely biased tone, which I removed. In time, all of the data will become clear and documented, and the Misplaced Pages community will keep the article updated.Josh3580 (talk) 18:12, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Congrats

Josh you are a major insult to my Ego you have beat me several times in reverting vandalism we need more people like you --Zaharous (talk) 02:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Aww shucks, tweren't nothin! Glad to help! Josh3580 (talk) 02:49, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Ursula Caberta

Hi I'm not sure why you reverted my recent edit as there doesn't appear to be any sources for the comments that I removed as the source quoted only refers to the charges being dropped and the fine. Felixmeister (talk) 03:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

My apologies on that revert, I didn't look closely enough. I have undone my reversion. Thanks for letting me know! Josh3580 (talk) 04:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. A credit to wikipedia. Felixmeister (talk) 04:06, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Bot

Once it's approved for testing, it will be unblocked by a BAG member, yes. Hersfold 02:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you just clarify if you do want to withdraw your request? Thanks, ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 03:57, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I've closed and withdrawn your request. Take care, ~ AmeIiorate _{U T C} @ 04:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Shook, Hardy, & Bacon

You tagged this page for speedy deletion (as I was still writing it). Then you removed the tag, but still left the boilerplate template message on my talk page.

I'm trying to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of law firms for WP:LAW. You mind explaining what you are trying to do here? --Eastlaw (talk) 06:45, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
