April 2013

[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Argonauts Club, Georges Ernest Boulanger, and Thomas W. Evans. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —Mark Dominus (talk) 18:45, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My edits were to add information and correct mistakes, especially on the Thomas W Evans page. If this constitutes vandalism, I've clearly misunderstood the aims of Wikipedia. Etakjf (talk) 11:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[1][reply]

I apologize, but after carefully looking at every edit you made, I sincerely believed that you were one of the many people who vandalize Wikipedia every day. There was not one of your edits that appeared to be useful or helpful. For example, you changed the place of death of Thomas Evans from Paris to Philadelphia, removing a citation to the New York Times obituary, and citing only yourself as a source. When I checked the obituary and the other biography of Evans that were cited in the article, both agreed that he had died in Paris. In two articles you added a reference to Mary Baker, for no apparent reason. Her book *General Revenge* is categorized as "humor", and you added it to the "Sources" section of the George Ernest Boulanger article when it was certainly not a source for that article. So while I believe that you were acting in good faith, and not as a vandal (and I apologize again for suggesting that you were one) the truth is that your edits were not useful, and I had to clean them up. —Mark Dominus (talk) 15:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
