Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Super Bowl XLII, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you believe there has been a mistake and would like to report a false positive, please report it here and then remove this warning from your talk page. If your edit was not vandalism, please feel free to make your edit again after reporting it. The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Super Bowl XLII was changed by Manyanswer (u) (t) deleting 41852 characters on 2008-02-28T05:09:55+00:00 . Thank you.

Reply: I added one possessive apostrophe to this page during this edit. That is all. Obviously there was some bug or data transfer error by Misplaced Pages. This was reported as a false positive. I successfully completed the proper edit later. Manyanswer (talk) 02:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of Hot 100 (U.S.) chart achievements and trivia. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - eo (talk) 17:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I submitted a constructive edit that added content which you deleted in its entirety due to your preference for brevity. If some of the info is incorrect, please edit it. That's why it's called a wiki. One should not claim ownership of a page and simply delete edits. The record is there on the page for anyone to check and decide if this is vandalism. Manyanswer (talk) 17:58, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I responded on the talk page. I've copied the article to User:Ericorbit/subpage2. Let's work on it there and come up with something better than how it is now, then move it back over. Edit warring is stupid and a waste of both of our time. Apologies for coming off too strong. Sound good? - eo (talk) 18:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Sounds great, thanks for the cooperative spirit! Manyanswer (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Howdy.... is this starting to look ok to you? I've made a few more changes lately and was thinking of moving it back over. Is there anything else you'd like to see added/subtracted? - eo (talk) 17:26, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Article moved and renamed. W00t! - eo (talk) 02:31, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You have mentioned on his page that he was doing nonconstructive edits, can you clearlfiy what were those edits.User:Yousaf465 (talk)

No I think I said don't delete constructive edits with no reason given. I.e. if someone adds content, don't undo it. Certainly if it's vandalism, give that reason. But if someone is creating valid content the "good faith" policy applies. Manyanswer (talk) 14:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Arrest of Henry Louis Gates

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

Assuming good faith

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

All are invited to visit the erased history of Mr. V's user talk to see why he cares to libel me in the above three comments. Manyanswer (talk) 22:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

What part of "assume good faith" is giving you heartache? You are free to erase these warnings from your talk page, but please read and follow WP:AGF in the future. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 23:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
