Re; Presidential Polls

Thank you for pointing that out, my source was the huffingtong post as the link at the bottom of the page leads to the states and if you click on the states it shows polling results by diffrent sources (Rasmussen ect...) The poll showing Romney ahead has been removed from Huffington so I removed it from the polls here on wikipedia. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:36, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

January 2014

Hello, I'm Excirial. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Frederick the Great, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 20:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About Frederick the Great reversions

Leaving you a message as instructed. I'm in the process of undoing the vandalism by 216.6.139.94 from a couple hours ago. I did the first one manually before realizing he had done a bunch. Using undo now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abulsme (talk • contribs) 21:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Crap, just realized I just undid someone else fixing the vandalism instead of the original vandalism. Sorry. Will revert my own change and be more careful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abulsme (talk • contribs) 21:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you already did. Thanks. Sorry again for the confusion. Urgh. My bad. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abulsme (talk • contribs) 21:06, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries whatsoever - you were trying to fix vandalism and that is always a good thing to do. The easiest way to remove multiple edits in a row is to use rollback, though that requires a specific user permission (Rollback) to use. An alternative to actual rollback is using software that can emulate it - an example would be twinkle which offers a software version of the rollback functionality.

If neither catch your fancy, or if multiple editors edited the page in the meantime you can use the page history to restore an old version. In this case i simply loaded the "00:11, 21 January 2014‎ - Rebel Redcoat" version and saved it, thus removing all changes since that edit. Just be mindful that this option resets a page to an older version - all changes (Including good ones) are lost in the process. Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 21:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I had reverted changes before, looked for the revert, only saw the undo, then got my left and right mixed up on the confirmation page, so thought I was removing things when I was actually adding them. I was going to do the Rebel Redcoat reversion as you ended up doing, but thought the undos would be easier. But then it turns out that user had both added and removed things. I was going to undo everything 216.6.139.94 had done, which would have gotten me back to the same state things are in now, but you caught me half way through, changing one of the edits where he had actually fixed something, and then you fixed everything before I did the copy and paste of the good version, which is what I should have done to begin with. Urgh. I am not a frequent editor, but I've been editing for many years, and this is the first time I have screwed something up. Although I guess if I had finished the five undos I had planned before you found it, it would have ended in the same place. Again, sorry for the mixup. I should have done each undo one by one and looked carefully at the change, rather than just saying "I'll undo all of these". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abulsme (talk • contribs) 21:23, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
