Yes it was by mistake, I was trying to clear my sandbox where I had created the article and I had the wrong tab on! :D Thank you for restoring it - I got scared for a moment! :D --Cmagnet (talk) 12:37, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

No worries then - DVdm (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Stop reverting

How is the permutation is more related to variation (in math) than the variation itself, [1]? Who told you if you know the correct place to put comment you should revert? Is it personal attack or mere vandalism? If you do not want to contribute to wikipedia just go away. Do not revert the connections that other people do. Why does everybody considers Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary rule as the one which needs to be violated? Does it makes you the owner of wikipedia when others turn away? --Javalenok (talk) 12:33, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

We have article talk pages to discuss this. - DVdm (talk) 12:34, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Discuss what? I see that the place to place the comments was already decided, as well as variations have noting to do with variations, as opposed by permutation. The fact that this question is solved and there is nothing to discuss is your behaviour to revert without discussing anything. Do you expect that here are idiots around that you can scorn them as you like? --Javalenok (talk) 12:46, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm afraid that you might have a problem expressing yourself in English. I have no idea what you are trying to say. Perhaps someone else understands what you have in mind. Please go to the article talk page to discuss article changes that you might have in mind. - DVdm (talk) 13:13, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

A beer for you!

you were really fast on removing that message on my talk page, thanks! VeNeMousKAT (talk|contribs) 10:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

My pleasure. Cheers! - DVdm (talk) 10:23, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Brent Dixon

I blocked the account for 24 hours and I'm thinking about revoking talk page access since they seem to have moved there. You seem to be keeping up with this user, so if you think further admin action is needed, ping me and I'll see what I can do. Hopefully the user got the hint! Vegaswikian (talk) 20:25, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I noticed. I guess something longer than 24 hours will turn out to be called for here . Cheers - DVdm (talk) 20:28, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Yudkowsky

The edit had two references 69.127.36.184 (talk) 20:39, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, but Wikipedia needs reliable, secondary sources, specially for biographies of living persons. See wp:RS, wp:BLP, wp:SECONDARY, and in this case most importantly, the consensus established at Talk:Eliezer Yudkowsky#SAT Score Request for Comment. - DVdm (talk) 06:53, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Nicely done on the House of Cards revision of edits. You actually surprised me because when I read your message I thought "What? I don't recall editing House of Cards..." Then I saw I was logged out of my account and just happened to be the current holder of the IP address the poster had been using. DavisGL (talk) 16:37, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Reverting my edit

Its ok..!! :) be careful haste makes waste..... Happy editing. ow@!s (talk) 09:37, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Yep, I hit that revert button a fraction of a second after you did . - DVdm (talk) 09:40, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Parity

Hello. Please reevaluate your revert of my edit of the article Parity (mathematics). I recommend that you actually read the section that you changed, Parity (mathematics)#Combinatorial_game_theory, and if it is still not clear to you, also read the citations referenced from this section. Thank you. 88.130.51.111 (talk) 10:50, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

My apologies. Both I and user Skizzik should have looked closer. - DVdm (talk) 14:09, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for giving it a second thought :) 88.130.51.111 (talk) 14:40, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

0 and 1 Swatch Internet Time

It's odd that you told me I should cite a source for saying that 0 is equivalent to 11 p.m. UTC in Swatch Internet Time, when I linked directly to the Swatch Internet Time page which says so. OK, sure, it doesn't contain the result of the calculation, but it's simple math. I shouldn't provide a citation that 1+1=2, if the rules for addition are provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pudgenet (talk • contribs) 16:02, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Frankly

Hello there.

Just wanted to mention that the Zappa edit (apart from simplifying the "On commenting on" [which seems clunky] to "Commenting on") was intended to give a balanced view to the Barry Miles and David Walley points, in which they reference Frank's own mythologising of his music, and fall into the realm of 'fandom'.

I'll try to dig up a reference next time I wade in.

Yep, digging up references is what Wikipedia is all about - DVdm (talk) 14:09, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert of that random vandal on my page. I have a strong feeling that that user is a sock puppet. --Lpdte77 (talk) 14:34, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps indeed. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 14:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Ottoman Empire

Hallo DVdm,
thanks for your revert on the Ottoman Empire page yesterday. In your comment you got the point: it is a problem of RS. In the article there are three sources which state the the Empire was born in 1453. I am not against reconsidering the birth date of the empire, but this should be supported by solid sources. A discussion thread was opened here, but unfortunately the edit war is continuing. If people don`t agree to discuss and look for sources, and don`t comply with WP:BRD, at the next revert I will be forced to open an incident. In this case, my I cite your revert? Thanks again, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alessandro57 (talk • contribs) 22 November 2014‎ 9:38 (UTC)

Sure, no problem, but please note that I know absolutely nothing about the subject. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 10:09, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! As you know, an incident has nothing to do with a subject, but is a problem concerning an user`s behavior with respect to Wikipedia policies. Alex2006 (talk) 10:20, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
