Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Computer programming. This is much appreciated, but unfortunately your repair was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.--M4gnum0n (talk) 21:19, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

My apologies, I didn't notice the other edits by the same vandal. I'll pay closer attention to the history before reverting edits in the future. — Schrödinger's Neurotoxin 22:32, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Electoral templates edit

Hello. Can I enquire as to why you're removing the "percentage change" columns from some Canadian electoral templates? There's a general view that this is useful information. CJCurrie (talk) 03:16, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello again. I realize that we don't have a consistent style at present, but the tread in has been toward keeping the "percentage change" columns. (I'm actually the one who added the "old" templates to the Harper and Baird pages, and I realize that I should probably update them ... along with many other pages.)
