I'm Daniel Webster Turner's grandson. I happened to look him up one day, found the stub, and decided to do an article based on newspaper articles on him plus my personal experience of the man. The article naturally is not a reminiscence but factual. Someone, web address only, no name, maybe an Iowa buff, then did an edit that re-wrote, added links, and added some additional information. The additional information I thought useful and appreciated, the added links and rewrites less so. Some of the added links were redundant, and an added sentence on when D.W. T was elected governor repeated the same information as given in a previous paragraph. So I did a revision of the revision, accepting some of the changes, rejecting others. Someone then reverted the article to the (flawed) revision. I've reverted it back again to my most recent version, and would appreciate it if no further changes were made without considerable thought and good reason. Thanks.

 * Hi Paintwriter. Thanks for improving the Daniel Webster Turner article! This note would best be placed on talk page of the Turner article, located here: Talk:Daniel Webster Turner. All articles have a talk page, which is used to discuss issues related to the article. This page is your personal talk page and is used by other editors to leave you messages (like I'm doing now). Also, good faith revisions are less likely to be challenged if you add an edit summary while editing explaining your changes. If you have questions about editing, feel free to ask them at the Help desk. Thanks, liquidluck ✽ talk  20:08, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Looking at the article, NawlinWiki, the editor who reverted your edits, was likely thrown off by your change to "cow war"- although if you read it it was clearly correct, you have to admit the edit looks like it might be vandalism to a passer by. NawlinWiki then used the rollback feature, an anti vandalism tool which reverts every edit made by a suspected vandal back to the last other editor. Hope that clears it up! liquidluck ✽ talk  20:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
