My "changes don't make sense"?

Sorry, but could you please explain why it is that my changes make no sense to you? I don't understand why "Taekwondo" should be italicized at every instance in the article. Also, my adding of the {{who?}} template was completely justified. I understand that you're trying to gain experience in reverting vandalism in order to receive the rollback feature, but my changes were legitimate, so I have reverted your edit. If it was a mistake of some sort, just let me know. Otherwise, discuss it with me first before reverting it again. Thanks. — ^FatalError 05:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

My apologies. Initially, it looked like a manual of style issue, but I can't corroborate it. So I'll let your changes stand. Matt (talk) 05:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. Sorry if I sounded angry or anything like that, it just seemed like you reverted my edits just for the hell of it. — ^FatalError 06:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem, your reaction was perfectly understandable. Matt (talk) 06:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 06:53, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Good luck with the new tool. :) –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 06:56, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about the confusion back on the Diabetes page. Doctor Incarnate6 (talk) 11:09, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Revert

Thank you. :) Acalamari 23:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure. :-) Matt (talk) 23:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Action T4

Howdy, thanks for the revert on the Action T4 article. There is an ongoing dispute on that section and if you have the time (and are so inclined) your input would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:47, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Edie Britt

How is the edit disruptive, it's a better quote that shows what the charater of Edie Britt is about, who would want to sit and read a big huge paragraph that AdamDeanHall added --82.39.152.89 (talk) 17:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, i just thought it was a bit odd that i was being called a vandal for adding a little quote because this quote shows the characteristics of the character more, shes funny and witty and it would be less writing for people to read, but thank you for apologising --82.39.152.89 (talk) 22:42, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

P = NP problem

My work is constructive. Thank you for addressing it.--76.79.179.55 (talk) 01:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It appears as if you have been edited by someone who perhaps understand more about math than you do. Do not be offended. P=NP, Mikaey/Archives/2009,--76.79.179.55 (talk) 01:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC).

{{helpme}}

I've probably already violated the 3RR rule myself, but this user has also. I'm trying to explain the point to him of no original research. Can someone take a look at his source and verify whether or not his source is original research? (BTW, here is the discussion I've been having with him. He seems insistent on blanking his own talk page.) Matt (talk) 02:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you that this falls under WP:NOR. For an issue like P = NP, if it was proven either way the proper channel would be to publish findings in a peer-reviewed journal - WP is not a place to publicize new research. I've warned the user.

From the cited source:

"NP contains P. I've discovered a marvelous proof that NP and P are unequal, but this web page is too small to contain it. Too bad, since otherwise I'd be eligible for $1,000,000 [CMI00]." --Aseld ^talk 02:18, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Much obliged, sir. Matt (talk) 02:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've left a response to your message on my user page -- Marek.69^talk 04:22, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Lois Ayres

Okay Matt...I hope I am going to the correct spot here. I recently had you remove my bit on Lois Ayres (which was needed) but my question is, why would the fact that she dateted slash be uncited when I gave the exact page of it being mentioned in Slash's auto biography??? Again I appologize for having placed the bit in the article, but I wasnt sure exactly how to go about the whole edititing process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.122.170 (talk) 04:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay Matt, thanks for the advice...would you take a look at my Lois Ayres Contribution and tell me if you think its up to par??? Thanks for the help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.122.170 (talk) 04:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Matt

I understand why you edited my comments on the camry and honda. If you choose to write an article lets see both sides of the story as unfair trade is a large part of the profits made by Japanees auto makers. The way these articles are written, although informative and accurate, make them sound like advertisements showing only the positive sides of these products. The sale of imports is one of the factors that brought on this economic depression.Kaltenborn (talk) 17:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Kaltenborn's comments were just removed from the Honda Accord article (see this edit.) Can we take a look at blocking this user? He has entered racial slurs into Honda Accord, and Toyota Camry, as well as [this edit] to Kia Motors. These edits are nasty and cumbersome to remove due to the level of article integration. Nicholas SL Smith^chatter 18:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

What?

Stop the bus. Refering to someone as a Jap is no different than calling someone a Pollock, a W.O.P. or even a Jew. If your going to be so sensitive put a dress on. Now that ive made my point, lets see some of you integrate these points into the article. I would do so, exept one "editor" would piss in the ear of another of my "Vandalism".Kaltenborn (talk) 21:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
