Where did you reference the changing of the numbers on the [[Bill Apiata]] article. This article has been referenced and the [http://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/0707/VCmediakit2jul07.pdf NZGov press pack] lists him as being the 22nd New Zealand military personnel to be awarded the VC. I have amended the article accordingly. Thought i should let you know. Any questions can be left on my talk page or on the article talk page.

I'm not sure what the reason was for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Pearce_%28Australian_soldier%29&curid=13953223&diff=168031258&oldid=167755798 this change]. I'm going to revert, because the reference says "second", but if you can find a reference saying otherwise, then I'd be happy for it to change.

== Edit summaries == |

Please take the time to write an edit summary for the chagnes you make. I couldn't initially see the reason for the deletion you did in the VC article - had you explained it properly I wouldn't have wasted time initially reverting you, and then reverting myself when I realised what the reason was. There is a setting in user prefernces which you can set to remind you to include an edit summary. Generally they don't have to be long, and often comething like "copyedit", "typo" etc is fine, but it is important, particularly when you reomve information from articles.

Hi. That section was set up to highlight the Australian vs the non-Australian awards; your recent edit has removed that information. Is there any particular reason why you removed that information? If not, do you mind if I put the non-Australian highlights back? (I agree that it looks tidier without all the "(Australia)" suffixes.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 06:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
And I would emphasise what David Underdown said above, particularly "had you explained it properly I wouldn't have wasted time" and "it is important, particularly when you remove information from articles". Pdfpdf (talk) 06:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your additions. I was unable to find the sort of information you did. What was your source? Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 06:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
