Hi Amaury, I made a mistake. I was only trying to clear my drafts and sandbox. Thanks so much for restoring the article! MTJ78 (talk) 16:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
How were my edits vandalism or non-constructive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.246.214.161 (talk) 23:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay in replying. This was a false positive from me, as I misread the edit, and I didn't get a chance to look into this when you posted it, and then I forgot about it. Thanks to a recent discussion I was reminded of this. I reverted my warning, but as too many edits have been made on the page since my revert, I am unable to revert my edit. Feel more than free to re-apply your changes! - Amaury (talk) 21:14, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello Amaury, Please see Louis Cyr and User talk:Peter Horn#Louis Cyr. A certain user, one PlanCartesien is so rabidly pro metric system or SI that he would insist on putting metric measures first and not even give an imperial conversion Methinks that in the historical context imperial should come first and the metric conversion should follow in brackets. This chap is so pro metric that he feels that our American friends should not even be accommodated. Methinks he should be called to order and even be banned to the French Wikipedia. Now don't be mistaken, I personally prefer the metric system. Peter Horn User talk 17:45, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Amaury You removed my entry on Steve Kilbey's spirituality in relation to his lyrics before I had a chance to add citations. I can cite to both his lyrics and also to a book I have co-written which is on this subject (though it is yet unpublished).Are you prepared to allow me to cite these sources? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.233.86.59 (talk) 03:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, but it seemed to be a reasonable question by a novice user. 117Avenue (talk) 06:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Amaury dont mind anybody amending any articles of mine as I have no linked it up with 2012–13 Midlands football leagues (levels 9–10) as the 2013–14 Midlands football leagues (levels 9–10) with the Football Association moving teams arround at Level 9 & 10 and have to update my travelling guide every year Jazzman1962 (talk) 17:03, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 71.251.46.57 (talk) 07:50, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Amaury, the major issue here is to be careful with your use of a tool. It's vital that you label possibly problematic edits correctly, and carefully differentiate between good-faith edits and vandalism. You are directly responsible for all edits using a tool, and you need to use it right. If the tool doesn't have the right "label", then don't use the tool - do things manually. Do not ever call things vandalism (or accuse editors of vandalizing) that do not meet the strict definition (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:03, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- I certainly can and will be more careful. As Beeblebrox pointed out a while ago on his talk page, I have indeed turned it around, although my major issue before -- at least when he was involved -- was edit warring, not necessarily reverting. However, I've bettered on my reverts as well, of course, but I'm only human and will have false positives sometimes. They have greatly gone down since I've begun reverting again in late May 2013, though. - Amaury (talk) 18:32, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- You know there are editors waiting for you to screw up so you need to slow down and triple-check everything. Maybe use Twinkle instead of Huggle? I find Twinkle's interface more conducive to figuring out what an edit is about but that may be just me. --NeilN talk to me 21:28, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed there are, although I have to wonder why that IP took time out of its day to go as far back as 2009? Haha! Anyway, thanks for the advice. However, seeing as I've improved, I'll stick to Huggle and will use Twinkle for other things that Huggle can't do -- or at least things I don't think it can do -- such as 3RR warnings. - Amaury (talk) 23:42, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

the edit on Coccinellidae is actual information, actually :) It is not an experiment, nor vandalism --81.100.242.0 (talk) 21:08, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
Why do I keep getting this edit reverted? The cite link works and I simply updated the traffic numbers to 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.202.247.82 (talk) 00:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
I don't see how my link violates any policy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.199.68.204 (talk) 03:38, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Amaury I did actually provide a source to the amendment I made to the article on Thomas kelly Kenny, I referred to the papers confirming his appointment being held in the Irish jesuit archive - which they are including official stamps etc. Can you please change it back — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.190.180 (talk) 07:18, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm just trying to delete something on my own talk page. How should I be doing it? Tx, Lightishdark (talk) 06:14, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Please check where you post your messages, posting them on redirect pages isn't very useful. Jeblad (talk) 10:01, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
Dear Amaury, I think you need to have a look at the actual content of the material added by what appear to be COI editors, intent on turning the article into a promotional piece. We don't list "areas of expertise" or long lists of offices (we're not a directory). I have just reverted them again. Thank you, 207.157.121.52 (talk) 18:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
