I reverted back to a vandalized version... and then almost forgot to change it back. Thanks for fixing it. I owe you one. Logical2u_{Review me!} 22:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem. It's always nice to be appreciated :-).Tim.bounceback 22:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Technical tag

Hi Tim. You added the {{technical (expert)}} tag to vector space. Unfortunately, while it may be obvious to you, it isn't clear at all to me how to improve the article, especially since it tries to be non-technical at the start. Next time you add the tag, you should explain which parts of the article are too technical. Keep in mind that vector space is an abstract concept, and it may not be possible to explain it in a way that all readers grasp the concept immediately, especially within the space restrictions of a Wikipedia article. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 02:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you're right about it being difficult to expand (I was half-asleep at the time), although I wouldn't say it is non-technical to begin with. In my opinion, for the average reader, this is somewhat too technical. However, because it is difficult to expand, would say you are right. Thanks for letting me know. --T_im.bounc^ceback - TaLk 12:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

January 17

You reverted my edit to this article. I removed a Russian O.S. birthdate from the article. Date articles don't include references to the O.S. Chekhov already has his birthdate listed in the January 29 article. Please revert this article back to my version. Thanks. Rklawton 00:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I did this because there is vandalism ("BULLSHIT*") in the edit you made - if I have made a mistake let me know, but that is what it seems like to me if you have a look at the diff here. Thanks. --T_im.bounc^ceback - TaLk 01:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. I must have reverted one version too far. Rklawton 01:09, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I've made my fair share of mistakes too ;-).--T_im.bounc^ceback - TaLk 01:10, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Semicolon usage

A semicolon separates multiple independent clauses; as such, would it not be more appropriate for User:Tim.bounceback/Userboxes/Semicolons to read:

This user is addicted to semicolons; and he or she uses them frequently.

I would be bold and change it, but as it's on your userpage, that hardly seems right. If you'd rather keep it the way it is, I can fork to my own userbox namespace. Regardless, let me know, and thanks for the great userbox idea! Jouster  (whisper) 23:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

You're right, go ahead and change it. Didn't see that when I was making it (then again, I'm not much of a grammar expert). Thanks for letting me know! T_im.boun^ceback - TaLk 23:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Date of birth

Hi Tim. I removed the last edit you did to your user page, in which you mention your date of birth and your school. I think that was a bad idea. There are, unfortunately, some evil people on the Internet who are looking for information like that. Most are okay, of course, but a few are not.

If you want to put your age on your home page, that's fine. If you want to put more information there, it's best to talk to your parents or teachers at school about it. The BBC has some advice on online safety.

Sorry to be so bossy, but we have to be careful. Have a nice day! -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 08:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Better safe than sorry I guess... T_im.boun^ceback - TaLk 12:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Bot idea

Sounds like a good idea, though I really doubt if a spammer will pay attention ;). This shounds like a weekly task, but you will get a better feel for it just by running the bot a few times, if you do 100 edits in a week, then you might want to make it every 3 days. As the bot op thats sorta up to you ;) (if you have anymore questions, drop me a note on my talk page.)—— Eagle101 ^Need help? 01:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

James Bond

My bad, not vandalism - I hit the revert button as the other user did, and in error reverted his or her correction of vandalism. I have now put it back, as I spotted the error immediately. Oops. LeeG 23:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I think there was a lot of confusion due to everyone hitting the revert button at the same time ;-)... T_im.boun^ceback - TaLk 23:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

NiGHTS edits.

Just letting you know, the recent edits I have performed were suggested in a peer review. If you are interested in reading it, it's on the WikiProject Video games Peer Review page.

Oops. Sorry for reverting your edits. I'm still getting to grips with VandalProof, and I think I reverted the wrong edits. Sorry! T_im.boun^ceback - TaLk 00:01, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem! I fixed everything to how I had it previously anyway, I was just letting you know! NiGHTS into Dreams... 00:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
