Hello,

Thanks for your recent edit of List of works in irregular time signatures. That guy has been driving me nuts, and he doesn't seem to read the comments or participate in any discussion.

Anyway, I'd be curious to know what attracted your attention to the article and why you chose to do what you did. I'm kinda' new to the wiki and haven't had a chance to read all the FAQs/guides yet.

Cheers,

Dave.

Hi Dave,
Actually, I was just doing a little bit of RC Patrol (see WP:RCP). If you click on the "Recent Changes" on the right (assuming you're using the monobook skin) you can see all the edits that people have made recently. An edit made by an anonymous user without an edit summary is quite possibly an act of vandalism. Clicking on "Diff" beside the edit, you can see exactly what it was the editor did. In that case, I saw he had just deleted a bunch of text, so assumed he was just a straight-forward vandal, so reverted it.
Hope that makes it clearer, feel free to ask about anything else!

Thanks for the reply, Asbestos. I'll start reading the docs. I appreciate the links. I just wanted to note that the user whose changes you reverted deleted quite a bit more after what you reverted. Also, the reversion seems to have brought back a lot of old stuff that was wrong. I can fix all that, but I hope this user doesn't keep deleting things. I did report his IP at the vandalism help page. Dkaplowitz 15:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
