:::Hmm, yeah, this has happened a few times, that I've made a few minor corrections to someone's userpage and been told to back off. I guess I'll have to quit doing it, even though it's a wiki. Perhaps it's like walking onto someone's lawn to water a flower that seems to have wilted in the sun. The owner might have wanted the plant to live, but he wants even more for people to not trespass. Anyway, I have nothing to do with these other people you mention.

:::::It is more like walking into someones backyard and removing all the shrubs and death leaves. When an aquintance does it, it's ok, but when a guy you barely know walks into your garden when your working in your house to clean up all the leaves, you wonder what there doing. --[[User:Redgreenfourties|Redgreenfourties]] ([[User talk:Redgreenfourties|talk]]) 14:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | |||

::::Actually, Nathan, there could be a language problem here. The user here says that he said "he will give permission." I recall the post to your talk page as he said that he wanted to be asked first. It can indeed be seen as intrusive. Always ask. Sometimes I see something easy to correct, a single thing, and change it, and will then have an edit summary like "spelling. I hope this is okay. If not, my apologies and revert me." Mostly the Wikipedia guidelines on this say "Do not touch!" | ::::Actually, Nathan, there could be a language problem here. The user here says that he said "he will give permission."

::::I read the user page, with the jokes. Nice jokes. I look at it this way: that English is far, far better than my Dutch. And I appreciate it when those whose primary language is not English make an effort to communicate in English. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 00:53, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | ::::I read the user page, with the jokes.

::::: It is most likely more of a cultural thing, as of yet Leucosticte and I are not partners, so I would think it a sign of respect on his part to ask me if he wants to improve my spelling, that is all, no hard feelings. --[[User:Redgreenfourties|Redgreenfourties]] ([[User talk:Redgreenfourties|talk]]) 14:43, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | |||
*(edit conflict with above)Leucosticte is not trying to do you any harm, that's clear to me. The IP editors are trolling you. | *(edit conflict with above)Leucosticte is not trying to do you any harm, that's clear to me. The IP editors are trolling you. | ||

*The recent events are documented at [[User:Abd/Open proxy events/2014-03]]. The IPs which edited your talk page were, of course, noticed by me. They are using open proxies to conceal their location, at the same time as they accuse others of being cowards for refusing to debate with them. I'm a real person, I actually use the name Abd in daily life, and it's easy to find me. I have two small children (10 and 12), as well as five grown children and six grandchildren. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 00:41, 14 March 2014 (UTC) | *The recent events are documented at [[User:Abd/Open proxy events/2014-03]].
