A minor problem
Hi, I really hate to pounce on one of your first edits, but something seems to have gone wrong, and I’ve reverted your recent edit.

Sorry for the length of this message, but since you haven’t been here before, it’s hard to tell if this was a test, a mistake, if you’re editing in pieces and weren’t done, or if this was vandalism. And there's always the very real possibility that I've made a mistake.


 * If it was a test edit, please experiment in the sandbox instead of in articles. You can do anything you like in the sandbox (within reason), without people like me sticking our noses in. Or, you can experiment in your own, personal sandbox here: User:/Sandbox.
 * If it was a mistake, don’t worry about it. Wiki’s make undoing mistakes easy.  If you were about to revert your own mistake and I beat you to it, sorry for jumping the gun.
 * If you are doing things in stages, please use an edit summary explaining what you’re doing, and people who see your edit will give you time to finish up. In fact, it’s a good idea to always use an edit summary to explain your edit.
 * If it was vandalism, well, please don’t do that. It takes a lot of effort to revert vandalism, and it can get you blocked from editing articles.
 * Finally, if I've reverted a legitimate edit by mistake, then I apologize. Please feel free to put it back, but make sure to use an edit summary or leave an explanation on the article's talk page so I (and others) know to leave it alone this time.

If you’d like to discuss this, or anything else, please leave me a message at the bottom of my talk page. --barneca (talk) 18:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
