User talk:168.122.83.28

An editor using this IP address inserted a line into a list of cleanup tasks I posted a year ago to Talk:Philippine-American War. I have reverted this editing of another user's post, which is bad wiki editing etiquette. (See w:Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines.) A more appropriate way to handle this is to post a new list that either specifies added tasks, or reposting a list of the incompleted tasks with any one wishes to add, so that attention is focused on the new list. (Your post under "How about including balance in article" is also reasonable, and calls even more attention to your concern.)

Another editor had earlier struck out some items in my list, but they were careful to note immediately under my post that they had done so. I chose not to revert this, even though it was not in keeping with the basic rules, because I felt it was fairly clear who had done what. Even so, it's always better to add and sign new material than to mark up others' work. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
