calling coal towns a lie

I lived it. I am not a liar. The action by the IP user was grossly insulting. Can we ban them?Coal town guy (talk) 23:47, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

I did not add that piece of vandalism, that was produced by an anonymous IP after I edited adding a "See Also" section, see here. I am not familiar with the penal process here at Wikipedia, sorry Coal Town Guy! Memtgs (talk) 00:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Any chance of some help?

Hi. I've recently, from scratch, begun an article on a 19th c. song called 'Villikins and his Dinah'. It was mainly to practise editing skills and I chose the topic almost at random; but since I have access through my library to some good contemporary sources for the period when the song came out, it seemed it would be easy enough to do. I think I overlooked the fact I understand nothing about music. I would be grateful for some suggestions on how to improve the article.RLamb (talk) 22:49, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Memtgs, I would really appreciate your help. A sort of fog descends on my mind when I try to think about the melody bit.

I searched on Google books and found several mentions of the tune's history in what seems a very good book by Ed Cray, The Erotic Muse. When he writes about some tune in a 17th c. manuscript being suggested as a possible source, I can just about understand him. When he writes: '‘Members of the “Villikins” tune family are most easily spotted by the introductory tonic, then the outline of the major triad in the first bar(s) and the repeated fifth that follows immediately’, he loses me.RLamb (talk) 18:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining. My brain has just died...:RLamb (talk) 19:06, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help revive it :D Memtgs (talk | contribs) @ 19:25, 23-08-2013 UTC 19:25, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

January 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Myofascial release. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Alexbrn (talk) 17:17, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, please use the talk page and dispute resolution page. I am attempting to make better edits and your constant accusations and revisions are making that a very difficult experience. Memtgs (talk | contribs) @ 17:20, 5-01-2018 UTC 17:20, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
