The indentation of your original comment in Talk:Johnstown Flood was fine. Your "fix" actually broke the indentation. By convention, each subsequent comment should be indented one more level. If the indentation gets too far to the right, then you can reset the indentation back to the left margin and start over again. I simply reverted your last edit to restore the original indentation.

Thanks for your contributions, and welcome to Wikipedia! -- wrp103 (Bill Pringle) (Talk) 12:40, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, since my comment wasn't in reply to the previous reply, but rather in reply to the original comment, it didn't need to be indented again. But it's not that big a deal :-)  Jpp42 09:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Chromhidrosis article
Hi, you left a message on my talk page regarding the Chromhidrosis article. The first version of the article that I wrote was not a copyright violation, I wrote that myself. The current version however is indeed a straight copy from emedicine. --WS 16:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Movember
Hey, you posted on the talk page of Movember that you saw a report indicating that Movember.com donated a very small amount to charity. Do you remember the source of this report? Thanks in advance! The.orpheus (talk) 21:33, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, as I said on Talk:Movember, this was from another person (a colleague) who didn't remember the original source, but we think it was Today Tonight. I see that financial reports are available, and given that the movember.com charity is supported by some fairly respectable corporations, I am not overly concerned about this rumour.  And of course Today Tonight is hardly the most reliable source. Jpp42 (talk) 01:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Great_circle article
Hi, you undid a change I made to the Great_circle article. You stated that "*easterly* tracks use the jetstream" -- but I respectfully disagree, although I do acknowledge that the accompanying diagram *is* correct.

I believe the confusion is in the definition of the word *easterly*. My [British] understanding of the word is "from the east" but having checked various definitions at it seems to variously (and confusingly) mean both "toward the east" and "from the east".

May I suggest changing the wording to something like "tracks towards the east use the jetstream" to avoid confusion?

July 2014
I have deleted your edits to the D. B. Cooper article, as they only repeated material that was already mentioned in the preceding paragraphs. David J Johnson (talk) 23:42, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Um, you missed the point of those edits. I changed "pilot" to "captain" because you are repeating an oft mistaken myth that only the captain (i.e. the pilot in charge) of an airline is "the pilot."  There were TWO pilots on this plane, not one - calling the captain simply "the pilot" without clarification is giving the first officer/co-pilot a demotion which he certainly doesn't deserve.
