Audie Murphy changes
Ted, I only just saw your addition to my user page discussion, regarding my sarcastic explanations for Audie Murphy edits. You certainly set a fine example of civility in your explanations for why you considered the original versions justified. I happen to be a newswriter and editor and so I have perhaps an overly elevated opinion of my style-editing skills.

Still, I think most of the changes were worth making because I dislike having things pointed out that a person of normal intelligence can deduce from the material, as well as statements of opinion such as "talented" that I don't think belong in an encyclopedia. But I certainly wasn't stating the case technically, which you did a very good job of.

Anyway, thanks for doing such a good job of helping me feel like being more civil. I'd like to leave you a "special barnstar," a barnstar for miscellanioius acts worth recognition that don't have a specific barnstar. Preston McConkie (talk • contribs) 09:36, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
