The edit in question was adding Category:Garden of the Gods to the image. I mistakenly though I was on a commons page, where that cat exists (see commons:Category:Garden of the Gods). Also note that I subsequently reverted vandalism on that article by 65.18.31.254 (talk · contribs) on this edit. -- 208.81.184.4 17:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I greatly appreciate your vandalism revert, and that vandal is now blocked for a year. I'm sorry if your took my message wrong. • EvanS :: talk § email § photos • 23:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, what kind of balancing do you think needs to be done on the article? I'd be glad to discuss it with you. Regards,Rich 01:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neutering cats

If "neutering cats" is not the stable term for removing categories, then it URGENTLY NEEDS TO BE. Thanks. --Kizor 19:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't originate the term, but I'm a sucker for bad puns, so when I saw an edit using the term to describing the act of adding a colon (i.e. 2 small round objects) to a category to neutralize it, I remembered it & started using it. -- 208.81.184.4 21:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User Name?

I noticed you have made a lot of good edits recently, and you appear to be an experienced Wikipedia user - I am curious as to why you don't have a regular user name set up. --Descartes1979 (talk) 02:07, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak for everyone that uses this IP address, but I've been told that I can use WP (including making constructive edits) as long as I don't login. I'm generally WikiGnomish, so not getting 'credit' for my edits isn't really an issue for me; an edit should be judged as valuable based on the edit itself, not the editor. -- 208.81.184.4 (talk) 02:18, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up on the FAQs and such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeb.rodgers (talk • contribs) 22:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I find it a bit amusing that we have made conflicting edits under the same IP. At least none of us has been tagged as a vandal. Does Vangent somehow create a Gnome-friendly environment? 208.81.184.4 (talk) 19:52, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
