Indentured servant "vandalism"

I reverted the vandalism - the sentence read "When the ship arrived, Abraham Lincoln would often advertise in a newspaper that indentured servants (redemptioners) were for sale:" and I reverted it to "When the ship arrived, the captain would often advertise in a newspaper that indentured servants (redemptioners) were for sale:". The article doesn't mention Lincoln at all! Would you look at the article (which I see that Until It Sleeps reverted again to read "captain"), and if I was indeed correct to revert it to captain myself, could you leave a note on my user page acknowledging this (and possibly strike out the warning itself using <s>[warning message]</s>). Thanks -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 15:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Incidently, Don't template the regulars where possible. I definitely didn't need a "welcome to Wikipedia" as I've been editing since 2005, and very regularly since probably March this year, due to a change in circumstances. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 13:59, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Your reverts.

You need to be much more careful with Igloo. I've noticed that you have rolled back at least 4 perfectly good edits [1][2][3] [4], of which 2 of them were made by administrators (see links 2 and 4), 1 of which was a vandalism revert. The other 2 were a vandalism revert (link 3), and a edit that I saw no reason for you to have rolled back (link 1). I also see that you have previously reverted complaints on your talk page about these same reverts, and you yet again reverted an administrator...

You seriously need to watch what you do on Igloo. I know it's in alpha testing, but you are responsible for how you use it. If you keep making careless reverts like this, you risk having your rollback rights removed, or even being blocked. Until It Sleeps ^{Wake me} 15:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I'm not from there originally, but yeah, that's "home" for me. Adam Bishop (talk) 02:25, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
