User talk:Bayerischermann/Archive/Oct

Hi - you'll have gathered by this edit in the wrong location that I'm new to this. I was initially suprised at your revision - but having read through all the guidelines I accept you are correct. Just for the record the site I linked to isn't principly a commercial site, does add value and otherwise complies with the guidelines, in all but one respect. It is my site, and hence I'm 'obviously' biased. I'll edit to a neutral forum as the guidelines suggest and see if another user wishes to take-up the link.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.134.208.239 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I just finished the translation of S-Bahn from German. Enjoy & edit! --Greenb 20:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Danke! ⇒Bayerischermann ^- 20:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! It feels nice to be appreciated. You have done well with vandalism fighting yourself, and I, on behalf of Wikipedia thank you for your efforts. Keep it up. =)

Please see who added the warning to my talk page. It was a anon sock puppet of a banned user. Just want it removed. Thanks. 216.201.121.82 16:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was vandalism that I was removing. The user that was adding the citations was doing so to cause disruption. There is a long (recent) history behind that page... but if the warning needs to stay then go ahead I guess.

That's an edit conflict, not vandalism. "Apparent bad-faith edits that do not make their bad-faith nature inarguably explicit are not considered vandalism at Wikipedia." ⇒Bayerischermann ^- 16:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know you told me depending on where the subject derives is a factor as to whether U.S. English or Commonwealth English shall be used but I had added the "u" because many other parts of the article retained the Commonwealth spelling. It seemed strange that the article "swings both ways". Plus this is article is a German biography. How is it determined the spelling of an article that relates neither to the U.S. or any Commonwealth country?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.109.186.127 (talk • contribs) 18:45, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Please use the edit summary box to describe these sort of things. A changing a word to a different form of English looks suspicious, but it wouldn't be suspicious if you wrote why you were changing it. On that note, your reason (conforming to the type of English used throughout most of the article) is a perfectally valid reason to change it, assuming it isn't a topic relating to a specific English speaking country. Thanks for the comment, and welcome to Wikipedia! ⇒Bayerischermann ^- 18:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
