Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:48, 6 December 2008

If you have any problems, concerns, or just want to comment on my actions and behavior in general, please leave a message here, or if you would like to discuss things, my talk page and email is available for use. A watch page has been created that will list areas that I might have problems with and may need help with. By the way, User:Karanacs has decided to tag-team mentor me (yeah, I'm so wild that I need two! :) ). So, they will most likely watch and/or join in any discussion. - Ottava Rima

RE: Don't revert improperly

Reverting something to a redirect when it is clearly stated that the page will be expanded is completely improper, and your acting on that on multiple pages is the very definition of edit warring. This gives you two options: undo your action or be reported for your edit warring. Ottava Rima (talk) 22:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Er...pardon? Your message is extremely unnecessarily hostile. Blank pages confuse our readers, and serve no purpose at all. I see that there is now content on the pages, which is good; however, pages should not be left blank until there is content to place there. I see no possible way that my edits could be construed as edit warring, so for curiosity's sake, where exactly would you report me for reverting page blankings?

Well if you are going to be angry, revert wholesale and bypass discussions on talk, then well I just drop the whole thing. Not happy. At all. Ceoil (talk) 11:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

We are both heavily invested in the article, of course we will feel passionate. Striking my reaction. We can talk through it. Ceoil (talk) 13:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
