Pinochet

Greetings! I do a lot of vandalism patrol when I'm otherwise unoccupied, and this morning a kid from Jefferson County Public Schools (Wheat Ridge, Colorado, 204.98.2.30) was targeting the Pinochet article with stuff like this [1]. I usually just hit "rollback" and block the offender after they've been warned a couple times. Welcome to Wikipedia, and happy editing! Antandrus (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings again. I looked briefly at the changes at Pinochet. While it's a rather severe cut, it's a content dispute with another editor, so your best bet is to discuss it on the talk page and attempt to achieve consensus on restoring all or part of your version, or a rewritten version which satisfies the other editor(s). (My own knowledge of Pinochet and Chilean politics is amateur at best, so I don't know which is better.) You can revert changes by going to page history, clicking on the last version you think is acceptable, clicking "edit page", and saving -- but this is a bad idea in content disputes, because once "edit wars" start they are very hard to stop, and the community takes a dim view of them unless they involve clear vandalism. Make your case on the talk page and wait for someone else knowledgeable about the topic to chime in. Oh--another thing you can do is look through the article history to see who the main authors of the article were, and contact them for their opinions. Cheers!

Legacy and Influence

Yeah, I just put them together because it looked neater and more worked on. I thought this because the Legacy was really short and not expanded much, but influences was, so I just combined them. It's perfectly fine split up though.

Yeah, like they say, learn something new every day. Glad you added that. Take it easy. willsy May 24 2006 10:04

Quote

Yes, it's one of those sentences that has been in the article for a while, but... I don't think anyone knows what to do with it because it's been in that section for so long, and there's no other place for it because the other headings are just so damned specific. No idea really, but I think the article could use another face lift. Not to brag, but you should have seen it before I gave it the look it has right now.

The article still needs a lot of work, glad you've taken interest in it, because I've really lost mine with some people with their bickering "this shouldn't be included", and "this shouldn't look like that". It's a lot better than it was, but God it could be a lot better and more professional.

Ever read Flann O'Brien's "The Third Policeman"? Just wondering, good book, got it yesterday.
