You shouldn't touch anyone's comments whether it's a typo or not, You may want to read this Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Others' comments. Bidgee (talk) 04:42, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

What are you referring to? Really? Can you please show me, thank you. {Howardchu (talk) 04:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)}Reply

Just trying to help out. It's not a warning jut some infromation you may not have known[1].
Below is from Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Others' comments
It is not necessary to bring talk pages to publishing standards, so there is no need to correct typing errors, grammar, etc. It tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Do not strike out the comments of other editors without their permission.
Never edit someone's words to change their meaning, even on your own talk page. Editing others' comments is sometimes allowed, but you should exercise caution in doing so. Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments:
  • If you have their permission

No, no, you've misunderstood my question... I'm politely asking you what exactly I've done / altered the rob.au comment, rather asking you to quote me the guidelines I've read ;-) {Howardchu (talk) 04:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)}Reply

Okay, it's a honest mistake when I was editing my comment. I've mistakenly edited rob.au's comments as well during the process. Really. {Howardchu (talk) 05:00, 29 July 2008 (UTC)}Reply

No problem. I thought it would be best to tell you then rather get a warning for it from another editor. Bidgee (talk) 05:02, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for everything. I've notified Rob.au about the incident... [2] {Howardchu (talk) 05:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)}Reply

Just for the record, no concerns at all from my side... even if you had done it deliberately, I'd have considered that a good faith edit to an obvious typo, even though Bidgee is correct. Thanks anyway. :) -- Rob.au (talk) 10:01, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:XxxHOLiC.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari 04:53, 7 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
