Re this edit. Please put a little more thought into your tagging. Also a little more civility in your summaries, it is not pleasant for editors to have their work unnecessarily described as "Weasel words". I see you recently had a failed RfA. If you ever want to make admin, you need to start seriously thinking about the effect your actions have on others. back to your edit, the meaning here is some conformal coatings are sputter deposited engineering plastics. This is hardly weasel words and the {{who}} tag on "some" is especially inappropriate as "some" is not referring to a person or persons. SpinningSpark 21:59, 10 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Apologies. The reason I tagged the sentence is because I thought that the word 'some' in that particular phrase was referring to a person or group of persons, but as you said it indeed was not. That said, you're right about what wording I chose for the edit summary; it probably was a little over the top for such an edit. GB86 04:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Exceedingly long siren article edit

Seeing as you tagged the Thunderbolt Siren article once again, is there any way to just get rid of the article entirely, and start anew? The page as it is looks awful, and every time I try to fix it, someone (this time an unregistered user) goes ahead and ruins it. I would prefer to cut the article down to size, more akin to the Federal 500 article.

Also, help out with the article if you can. I don't want to nominate the page for deletion, seeing it as a noteworthy topic (popular siren). --JustInn014 (talk) 00:22, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Head over to Wikipedia's page protection requests page and try and file a semi-protection request. This will make editing restricted to registered accounts only. GB86 04:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I've attempted to cut down the article myself. It still needs work, but I think it's better than where it was. I'll still put in a request. --JustInn014 (talk) 05:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
