No personal attacks[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Powered hang glider. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. - Ahunt (talk) 11:48, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure which comment you feel is a personal attack, or how I might go about removing it - to the best of my knowledge, they can only ever be 'added to,' not (permanently) replaced. It certainly wasn't the way it was intended. In any case, hopefully the new comments would be be satisfactory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.172.13 (talk)
It was your edit summary which says "...stop being pedantic/unconstructive". As per WP:NPA this sort of thing is not permitted. Edit summaries cannot be removed but in future please don't attack other editors, especially when they are following policy in requiring refs. - Ahunt (talk) 12:14, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've just spotted your objection to this on the specified page. Just to be clear, this wasn't aimed at you; it was a general comment that doing this isn't helpful, & this is what I felt that you (on this occasion) was doing. That being said, I'm sorry if you took offence at this, it was not intended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.172.13 (talk)
OK. - Ahunt (talk) 12:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:23, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Iodised salt, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the wad any elcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. I am well versed in this policy. However, if you had cared to check the history of the article, you would have seen that the passage which I changed was already uncited. I merely changed it to a less controvertible statement, as I had eluded to in my edit summary - the alternative was to delete the statement, (which seemed fairly plausible & worthy of being left up for a time so that someone else might proffer a source) not to reverse a perfectly valid alternation - the source for this is my cupboard, which hasn't had any table salt in it for the best part of 10 years. I.e, I am a member of 'everyone in the population' but do not consume salt in a 'predictable amount.' 80.229.172.13 (talk) 14:54, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
