== Query about revert of a couple of edits I made ==

Hi, I am fairly new to Wikipedia and have been making occasional edits to articles. I noticed you reverted a couple of my edits on the Broadcasters' Audience Research Board page which is fine, however beside the revertion it said that my edits had been identified as vandalism.

The IP I was using is 82.18.164.15 though I now have an account.

Actually they were not vandalism. Edits according to Wikipedia may at times be misguided or ill-considered but that is not the same as vandalism. 

''Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article is not vandalism; although reinserting it despite multiple warnings can be disruptive (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism.''

I see you did in fact send me a message, and thanks for doing that.

Also I am still trying to figure out how to do edits, and sometimes have to undo my own edits.

Being new on Wikipedia, I would like to get off to a good start - if you still consider my edit vandalism maybe you could let me know why? 

All the best with your editing.[[User:DMSBel|DMSBel]] ([[User talk:DMSBel|talk]]) 17:29, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

:I am assuming that you are talking about [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Broadcasters%27_Audience_Research_Board&action=historysubmit&diff=332602680&oldid=332602392 this edit]. "I am inclined to take audience" seems to indicate that you have a [[WP:NPOV|point of view]] that does not belong in the article, the article is for the facts. Also the other content seems like you are questioning the article. This is to be done on the talk page of the article. That was my reason for the revert & notification. That is why I did that. Let me know about any questions. -- <font color="green">&#47;[[User:MWOAP|<font color="green">MWOAP</font>]]&#124;</font><font color="blue">[[User_Talk:MWOAP|<font color="blue">Notify Me</font>]]&#92;</font> 21:35, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

:: If that was listed under my IP then I had forgotten its a while since I edited that article. If that was all there was, just "I am inclined to take audience", then thats fine to take that out, I probably got mixed up in the edit and didn't finish what I was going to type. That's fine - just wanted to point out that it was not vandalism, or maliciously intended. All the best[[User:DMSBel|DMSBel]] ([[User talk:DMSBel|talk]]) 02:23, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

== Links to disambiguation pages ==

Re your [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation/Redirects&diff=prev&oldid=344118493 "No reason for a redirect"] summary - the reason is '''per [[WP:INTDABLINK]]''' (as stated in the original [[Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects#Redirect request: Stars & Stripes (disambiguation)]] listing) which says: ''To link to a disambiguation page (rather than to a page whose topic is a specific meaning), link to the title that includes the text "(disambiguation)", even if that's a redirect – for example, link to the redirect [[America (disambiguation)]] rather than the target page at "America". (If the redirect does not yet exist, create it and tag it with {{tl|R to disambiguation page}}.) This helps distinguish accidental links to the disambiguation page from intentional ones.'' - just so you know for next time.

I re-listed [[Stars & Stripes (disambiguation)]] and it's now been created. [[Special:Contributions/92.0.52.136|92.0.52.136]] ([[User talk:92.0.52.136|talk]]) 04:55, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
