My apologies -- Hoary (talk) 10:29, 14 May 2014 (UTC) I assure you it was unintended; I find working with wikipedia so complicated, and all the many rules sometimes baffle me. I'm not even sure if this is the correct way to answer your concern. If you will let me know what I delieted I will happily put it back. Largedoor1 (talk) 11:05, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Deleting comments from talk pages
In this edit, you deleted a comment from Talk:Marc Atkins. (As it happens, the comment was mine, but this is by the way.)

There are circumstances when it's proper to remove a comment from an article talk page. But these circumstances rarely arise. In general, don't edit (or tamper with) others' comments on article talk pages. Please see "Talk page guidelines" on this and related matters. -- Hoary (talk) 10:29, 14 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Well . . . ah . . . since you ask: Replies to comments usually go right under those comments.


 * I've restored the deleted material. I'd guess that you deleted it, rather sensibly, when it struck you as obsolete. (I mean, in that comment I was complaining about a state of affairs that had subsequently ended.) But the rule is to leave in outdated comments too. (One can "archive" them so they're out of the way. You'll see this process at work in, say, Talk:Barack Obama. But don't worry about it for Talk:Marc Atkins.)


 * Keep editing, make a few goofs, get warnings about those goofs, keep on editing: you'll soon pick up what you need to know. -- Hoary (talk) 12:37, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
