[edit] Sorghum
If you had allowed me more than two minutes, or perhaps followed the links on the article, before reverting my changes you would ave seen what I was doing.
I have deleted huge section of the Sorghum article because it is grossly inaccurate. The article concentrates entirely and exclusively on commercial, cultivated sorghum thus ignoring the vast majority of species in the genus which are not cultivated. While the article is well written and doubtless accurate as it pertains to commercial sorghum it is not accurate as an article on the Sorghum the genus. For example most sorghum does not have a growth habit similar to maize, most species are less than 30cm tall. Sorghum species are native to tropical and temperate areas worldwide, not just Africa, Mexico and Asia. There are literally dozens of wild sorghum species around the world, the most recent common ancestor doesn't come from Africa.
The list of such errors goes on an on, and they are all caused simply because someone (you?) wrote an article on commercial sorghum yet titled it "Sorghum". The simplest way to correct this error is simply to split the article. The article titled "sorghum" should refer to the genus Sorghum and make accurate staements about the genus Sorghum as a whole. I have created a secondary article about commercial sorghum to which I have copied the vast majority of the old text. All that text is perfectly accurate as pertians to commercial sorghum but the statments are simply erroneous when aplied to Sorghum as a genus.
Hopefully that explains what I have done and why. If you wish to go through and re-word the entire article so that the comments made are correct as pertains to the genus Sorghum then I can't stop you from doing so, but I encourage you not to. This would involved changing almost every sentence since they are almost all inaccurate when referring to the genus and not the crop.This would destroy an extremely good article on commercial sorghum and in the process create a bastardised article on the genus Sorghum that contains almost no information on the vats majority of sorghum species with masses of information on a tiny minority of commercial species.

[edit] Update on FL page
Hi there, got your note, and I wanted to run something past you. I am in the process of updating some info on the #REDIRECT Fortune Lounge Group page, which is not relevant anymore, as the contract iwth parties have been terminated or sites do not exist anymore. How can I make sure that I do not offend the administartors and get flagged for these kinds of changes, as they are necessary and are at the moment implying incorrect information about the company?

[edit] Vandal
I know this sounds really weak, but I don't remember making that contribution, I pretty much always log-on to my actual account when I make a contribution. But the point is that I'm the only one using this computer, so do you have any idea how something like that could happen? 67.0.80.28 00:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Automagically add to images and media for deletion
Preuvianllama, I noticed that you added three images for deletion. Thanks for helping out! If you want to add more, you may consider adding importScript('User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js');
. It automates the process and is very useful for image tagging! Best, Iamunknown 04:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Contra
I would love to discuss things with the talk page on Contra series. Sadly, no one looks at it or considers it. Next up, even if I do edit the article, some assholes will come in and revert it, claiming that all I wrote is false. I showed those people that I have proof of my information, yet they still use doubts on it. If you want assurance that I won't continue vandalism, then assure me that I can add some good information without jerks that delete the stuff.
[edit] Hi
Just left my opinion on Spanish people. Thanks for your input.--Burgas00 16:59, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Spanish people
User Burgass just imposes his POV and his personal version, deleting a lot of information and acting as if he owns the article. I will not revert him any more, he will just keep imposing his personal version. He is destroying a lot of information and sources and ignoring the rest of the users who do not support him.
He also seems to have some kind of personal obsession with some types of information. He goes around Wikipedia deleting the same type of information all the time with different excuses, but interestingly always targeting the same time of information. You can also see his latest deletions in the article Hispanic. I think this issue is for an administrator, not for users like me.
