Can you help?

I see you were listed as a participant in the League of Copy-Editors so it seems likely. The thing is the Military history wikiproject urgently needs prose pros to help with our best articles. Milhist covers a broad range of interesting and varied subjects from film to biography, battles to weaponry, and Roman emperors to twentieth-century dictators. In Milhist, A-Class has become the last port of call before FAC and we are looking for people to help identify prose and MoS issues at A-Class A-Class Reviews and help fix them prior to featured article candidacy. We also have a copy-editing section in our Logistics Dept and that can always use experienced copy-editors. For most of our articles, you don't need to be a specialist in the subject matter, just good with words.

If you think you can help, please do! Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 03:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Not sure why you removed information "not relevant to Salehurst," i.e. the reference to John Levett who once owned Bodiam Castle, contributed to the Armada fund and lived in Salehurst. Seems to me to be directly relevant to the history of the town.MarmadukePercy (talk) 21:19, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Innappropriate use of rollback

Hi there, I've noticed that a couple of your recent edits have used rollback to revert edits that were not vandalism. I am specifically referring to this and this. These edits were linkspam and you were right to remove them however you were mistaken to use rollback to do so. This also resulted in inappropriate warnings being issued to the user in question - they should have been warned for spam not for vandalism. The terms under which rollback is granted to users are very clear and as I am sure you know, misuse will lead to rollback being removed from your user. I suspect that the root of the problem is your use of Huggle and so I would suggest that you familiarise yourself with the "non-warning revert" button and use this in tandem with the "issue warning" button for everything which is not a clear cut case of pure vandalism.
