Previous username

Hello, Your eleventh edit under the Poyani username was an almost perfectly formatted addition to an article, evidencing a prior history with Misplaced Pages. What was your previous username? Thanks, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 18:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Brewcaster. I have never had another wikipedia username. I used to edit articles using my IP address. I usually edit science and math articles. It has never a problem except for me except for articles which are about the Middle East. I am trying to move away from that habit and use this username. I was the person who originally added the "South Africa" part to that page, using my IP. Someone removed it. So I put it back a few days later using my username. Cheers.

Wait a minute. The article you are talking about was "almost perfectly formatted" because parts of it are very similar to another article. The nuclear weapons section of the South Africa-IDF relations is identical to a portion of the Israel-South Africa relations article. Poyani (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I am sure you already know this, but just to get all the ducks in a row, I am making you aware that per this, all articles in the Israel-Palestine space are subject to a 1 revert per 24 hours limitation. Ruby Tuesday ALMWR (talk) 20:22, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. I was aware of this policy. But my understanding is that on each Israel-Palestine article each user can revert once per 24 hr period. If my understanding is correct, then I do not believe I have violated this policy. Looking at the Dahiya Doctrine history page, it seems to me that I reverted after over 24 hours. If my interpretation is incorrect, please let me know. Thank you. Poyani (talk) 21:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
I have also made a revert of one of your edits. It seems problematic for a few reasons. Do not revert after 24 hours without first engaging in discussion and looking for consensus. Go make a case on the talk page for inconclusion. Cptnono (talk) 04:03, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
