What I have changed is not vandalism. It's factual. I've cleaned up this article. Do you refute something I have written or changed?

- My error. I thought I understood how to avoid all the conditions where MWT makes mistaken edits, but apparently there's some condition I haven't identified. I actually intended no changes at all. Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Edits on Tamil Nadu
Uh, I noticed you had the article Tamil Nadu under watch with an anti-vandalism tool. Thats cool and all, but I made a comment in the discussion about an edit the tool automatically reversed, and I was wondering if you could have a look at it.
Thanks. Msx1692 (talk) 21:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing this out! I'm trying a new tool, and that change was made in error. (I've reverted my own edit.) I'd like to know what went wrong, if other editors experience this, please let me know. Piano non troppo (talk) 21:28, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Re.:Diahorrea "Vandalism"
That was NOT vandalism at all. The terminology came from the US military, and got picked up by the people at large. I was only answering another contributor who asked why "The shits" redirected to the article Diahorrea, and placing where that came from when you and someone else used the "V-word". 205.240.146.148 (talk) 23:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I should mention I'm trying a new tool, and it's not always giving me the options I want. I understand you weren't vandalizing. As I said on your page "good faith edit" would be closer to the mark.
- However, about this particular term...the "shits" didn't come from the military, the term, meaning diahorrea, was known 1000 years ago, according to the OED. Regards, Piano non troppo (talk) 00:07, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- Since you said you're a linguist, where did the food "shit on a shingle" come from? This is NOT bad language at all. It really is a food. 205.240.146.148 (talk) 00:19, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
- I don't have the online version of the OED, so I can't search on "shit on a shingle", specifically. But I just read a discussion about this a few weeks ago. (It didn't come to any conclusions.) But that phrase, if I had to bet good money, *does* come from the military. (Shrug. I could be wrong...but what's betting all about?) Evidence is: a) I've read that phrase in a number of military contexts, b) I can't ever remember reading it in a non-military context (I heard it in the Boy Scouts, but they are quasi-military, anyhow), c) the "prefab building" connotation that I get suggests that the term was invented after sophisticated mass production canning and preserving methods were introduced, that is, within the last 150 years or so, and, most flimsy of all, d) it just "sounds" military.

Piano non troppo
I am a resident of Zachary and I will tell you that Zachary is experimenting intensive growth currently. The report that is in the article that Zacharys growth was only a result of Hurricane Katrina is purely fictional.
what the fuck

- Your edit was reverted because " a man allegedly with connections to the secret police" is not cited. You can't just make allegations without evidence. That's what the "bad guys" do, isn't it, now? Piano non troppo (talk) 12:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- you FUCKING idiot:
(years later, shortly before his death in 1990s, he said he was told to lie by his father and the men from the secret police).
- The page you cited appears not to work. Also, it appears it's in Polish. Foreign language references in any Misplaced Pages are not considered valid, because typical users can't check them. Piano non troppo (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
was ALREADY in the text 'in your "last known good version". --84.234.60.154 (talk) 13:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- Look, either somebody does have connections to the secret police, or they do not. Either way, you need to provide a citation. Also, "allegedly" in Wiki is called a "weasel word", that means someone (you) are expressing bias about the "true" facts, without giving evidence. Personal bias is NOT allowed in Misplaced Pages.
- This is all pretty much the same to me. Your edits are so bad, another editor will soon erase them. I'm trying to tell you you are wasting your time, and not doing the subject any good at all. Piano non troppo (talk) 13:39, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
"Bad"??? If you do something like this to people and edits costantly, I hope somebody will erase YOU, you stupid vandal fuck. --84.234.60.154 (talk) 13:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
