Hi JLAN, yeah, next time may be easier to just fix it. I'll let you do that part and clean it all up. (Noogies). Montanabw^(talk) 23:59, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Cleanup start

I created the subpage, Talk:Asturcón/Temp pasting in some stuff from a 2006 version of the article, which is probably also the Okie State material. Go for the fix! You'll need an admin to move it back into the mainspace, but they do it quickly once you ask. Montanabw^(talk) 00:06, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for your help here. :) I'm afraid, though, that we can't use content from earlier versions of articles without attribution. In this case, it was easy enough to fix, though, since the content had been merged from another article. I just recreated the merge. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:02, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I know that it was inadequate, but we had to start with something, and I wasn't the one with the time to do it, so I basically set things up so someone else who had the time would at least have a general idea of what to do. Thanks for going in and at least getting rid of the big black box! Montanabw^(talk) 19:31, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

We know that, but we have several thousand articles at WPEQ to eyeball and this wasn't on the priority list to fix, so THANK YOU so much for diving in and doing the cleanup for us! Montanabw^(talk) 19:31, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

Well, it was a blatant copy and had been sitting here for 3 or 4 years without anyone doing anything about it, but what the hell.

I'll thank you to make a point of NEVER FOR ANY REASON removing a contribution of mine from a discussion page again. Apart from being extremely discourteous, it is also, I believe, against the published policies of this wiki, with which you are no doubt far more familiar than I, but which can in any case be seen at WP:TPO.

JLAN, I have no freaking idea what you are even talking about, I never deliberately delete other people's stuff except the vandal stuff we all deal with. If something you said was deleted by me, it was entirely inadvertent, maybe an edit conflict. You need to seriously read WP:AGF because I've about had it with your attitude and just had to reread it myself. I DO believe that you do have good faith in wanting to improve these articles, but you are being mean, rude, sarcastic, and nasty. You also are doing way more criticism than actual good faith work or collaboration (that said, you ARE doing some work, which is why I'm still willing to work with you at all) Time to kill the snark.
