Please see the other editor's talkpage. This was a simple misunderstanding over the use of template field by a new editor. After bringing this up at his talkpage, and encouraging him to discuss it, I removed the incorrect fields. Please don't try to escalate the situation by calling it an edit war when it really isn't.

Ok, I didn't see that he has since re-added the field. I am choosing not to war over this, because it really is a silly little thing. In future however please make yourself aware of Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars, and rather than jumping the gun with a template, raise your concerns in person if you feel it necessary.

You were both guilty of reverting three times, so it would have been unfair to warn the other user and not you also. OK, I was maybe a bit lazy in using the template rather than writing you a personal message, but if there's an easy way to so something I'll usually choose that option! :-) Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 15:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough I suppose, but perhaps bear it in mind for next time. Incidentally it seems very likely that the other user is in fact a sockpuppet of a banned user, and having got a reaction is now trying to spread a little disruptive editing our way. If he is blocked, reverting it as vandalism seems justifiable. But at the end of the day it's one small field in an infobox, I don't think I'll lose sleep over it.

He's been blocked for being a sockpuppet, so I've reverted back to your version. Dan1980 (talk | stalk) 23:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
