Do not edit other people's comments on talk pages, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vox Pop (newspaper). That is considered a form of vandalism. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  22:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Wasn't an attempt to alter comment, just to clarify position - they had suggested keeping, but from casual glance it wasn't obvious. Thought that was practice in AfD pieces - to begin with Keep or Delete.--Katiekitten2009 (talk) 23:41, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * But for complex historical reasons*, we pretty much treat other folks' comment page texts as inviolate. If that editor was unclear, it is left to him/her to clarify what they meant. * (As I understand it, historically, some folks got into the habit of editing other people's comments in such a way as to distort or even reverse their meanings, whether intentionally or not; so we adopted a hands-off policy.) -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:48, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Wasn't entirely aware of that. Sorry.--Katiekitten2009 (talk) 23:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No prob. I got whacked with a trout for it early in my career here, due to my editorial reflexes leading to drastic revisions of poorly-formatted text. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
