Apology

My apologies and glad to see the Usercheck outcome. I hope you can see the other side of it that given the continuing problem it is better that any potential question be cleaned away. Best wishes with your editing. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:36, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Dont worry about it. Judging by Kaufners abuse of multiple accounts, it was a prudent move. The guilty flee where no man pursues. WeldNeck (talk) 13:14, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

I'd also like to apologize. The worst side effect of long-term sockpuppet abuse is that innocent people can get rolled over by it. I'm glad to see the investigation turn out the way it did. Cheers, and happy editing.--Cúchullain /c 18:06, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Dont worry about it, its like I said it looked to be a prudent move. WeldNeck (talk) 18:08, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited No Gun Ri Massacre, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page F-80 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reverting Edits over at Deepwater Horizon

Hi. There seems to be some debate over your edits at Deepwater Horizon. Let's not have repeating reversions of edits, per the three revert rule WP:3R. There seem to be some issues on the content that we can discuss on the article's talk page. Geogene (talk) 16:54, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

"Self published crank"

Your notes in the edit summary are completely invalid. You don't get to decide who is a reliable source based on a personal opinion, and there is no valid reason to remove the notes from the 2012 inspection of the Fort Calhoun facility. This is considered POV and disruptive editing. Please see WP:RS. petrarchan47tc 00:31, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

September 2014

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Neil deGrasse Tyson. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Viriditas (talk) 22:05, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
