Dear Glane23 |

I was wondering why you issued me with an edit warning and reverted my edit to [[Dan Howell]]? I added the revision with two sources which contained direct statements made by Howell. I am not a disruptive editor and I was not intending on vandalising the page, please see my contributions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LordFixit) |

| If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please and let me know. I do make mistakes. Please don't interpret a reversion or warning on my part as a personal attack on you; it's not. Please bring any error to my attention as I am always open to civil discussion. (I will respond here on my talk page unless you request otherwise.) No worries, mate. Geoff |
My bad
I had the wrong paste thing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.227.130 (talk) 16:26, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
- Referring to this edit to 2010 Tonight Show conflict. No matter, it's fixed so no harm, no foul. Geoff Who, me? 18:43, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Hermatite magnification
Hello,
Electron microscopes normally write their magnification in terms of thousands. There is absolutely no way that the image has a magnification of only 100x. Not even 10,000x. It must be 100,000x.
(I am a Physicist)
Regards, AdmiralAkber (talk) 05:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
- Referring to this reversion I did for an edit by IP User 14.202.198.201. You may be right, but the caption of the image, which is from Commons here, states, rightly or wrongly, "Hematite in Scanning Electron Microscope, magnification 100x." It was uploaded by Materialscientist and may I suggest that you discuss the caption and the magnification issue with that user on their Talk page over on Commons. I'm no physicist, but I do know that Wikipedia discourages original research. I'm sure you can clear it all up via a discussion with Materialscientist, whom I feel certain will be interested in hearing from you. Thank you for your effort to improve the accuracy of Wikipedia and welcome. Geoff Who, me? 21:31, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Edit to Rhodesian Bush War
Hi
In response to your message:
"Hello, I'm Glane23. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Rhodesian Bush War, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Geoff Who, me? 14:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC)"
The edit consisted of the following: correcting the description of Shari Eppel, who was described as a German Journalist, but who is in fact a Zimbabwean Human Rights activist. I'm not sure what isn't constructive about this - it's just correcting a factual error.
Could you revert this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.65.46.19 (talk) 17:16, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- Referring to this edit to Rhodesian Bush War. I couldn't tell if the edit was constructive largely because you made the change without leaving an edit summary explaining what you were doing. The original designation as a German journalist had been supported by this reference: "Eppel, Shari (26 March 2008). "Matabeleland: Its Struggle for National Legitimacy, and the Relevance of this in the 2008 Election" (PDF). Berlin: Heinrich Böll Foundation. Retrieved 9 December 2008." Unfortunately, that is now a dead link. I found the archived article and fixed the link in the article, however there is nothing in the referenced article itself to allow a reader to tell which characterization, journalist or "Zimbabwean Human Rights activist" is correct. Feel free to find and add a source for the characterization. Then, no harm, no foul. Happy editing. Geoff Who, me? 19:32, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
