Page move vandal

It's Grawp, the leading page-move vandal. He just hit my userspace, and the userspaces of a few other users. See the move log. Acalamari 01:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's a sock of Grawp. For the past few months, Grawp has been creating socks to move loads of pages to titles like "HAGGER?" and the titles you saw today. Acalamari 02:12, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

British Invasion of the River Plate

After his epic voyage, Alessandro Malaspina made recommendations to the Spanish Crown about how to deal with the govt of the empire so as to diffuse the tensions that were already evident to him and could threaten to blow it apart - the monarchy stupidly buried his report and its recommendations - one the factors that slowed Spain's official entry into the American side of the War of Independence - apart from its own military uncertainity (see Seven Years War) was that an American success could inspire a similar revolt in its own colonies. The problem with the existing article is that it does not get across the excitement generated by the Argentinians successful defence. And remember these were revolutionary times - the French rev was influenced by Polish revolutionary activity as well as the Americas, there was revolutionary talk even in Britain. How about if the offending sentence - about anything now seeming possible - being removed, but the rest of my edit being restored? 02:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello there. The problem I have with the edit is primarily from the "excitement" itself. Without a source this is merely a speculation and that has no place in an encyclopedia. I understand your point and how it "must have been exciting" but that's just us trying to reason about it and neither of us is an authority on the subject. I hope this makes sense. If you can find any notable reference mentioning this excitement please, by all means, add your edit back in. Thanks! --Ubardak (talk) 02:48, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Good point. Perhaps our Latin American friends can help, and then come back but with a toned down version minus the "anything possible" sentence. I do get carried away. Cheers. Provocateur (talk) 03:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for being understanding :) --Ubardak (talk) 04:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: List of programming languages

I earlier removed H because no Wikipedia article about that programming language exist. Anyway, can we create an article about that programming languages?

Your citations have clearly explained the revert, especially HTML. Thanks for adding references to it. Alexius08 is welcome to talk about his contributions. 11:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
