Nice work with the clean up.[edit source]

I disagree with your revisions for Wikibooks U. S. History (Truman) Because . . .[edit source]
1. Your previous/current rendition covers more foreign history than U.S. history. _It is too broad._ This is a history of the United States.
2. Your previous/current rendition doesn't cover '20's -- WWII history of China's interaction with the U.S. _It is too narrow._ Our outlook toward China, and in some ways our open manipulation of their policy, is a wonderful and depressing topic. As it is, we need to know _why_ communism succeeded when our self-interest failed.
3. I haven't yet put in the Red Summer of 1919, or the FBI's fear of Reds during the 1930s. Joseph McCarthy did not come from nowhere. Unless we put this in, the McCarthy section has a "Came the Renaissance, because it was time" feeling about it. Pittsburgh Poet (discuss • contribs) 17:51, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
- From what I can see... Tegel didn't make any substantial changes to that page (other than reverting simple vandalism). So I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to here? --Az1568 (discuss • contribs) 07:03, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
Globally locking[edit source]
Before you globally block me, you may like to know that the articles I created in the last few minutes; I created them not because I want to destroy anything, but because I have been going through a lot of stress in the past few days and I felt like I wanted a way to get it all out, but rest assured I did not make these edits in bad-faith. 173.76.103.95 (discuss) 21:22, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- Why not create your own blog or web page? -- Tegel (discuss • contribs) 21:23, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
Redirect[edit source]
What’s the point in deleting the redirect from my IP user page to my current user page? I put it there so people know that my current account is created now. Nervelita (discuss • contribs) 17:21, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- It is your current IP-address, but there is no guarantee that it will be your IP-address in the future. The only thing that is fixed is your user account.
- You can add on your user page that you used to edit without an account, as you have done. -- Tegel (discuss • contribs) 17:25, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, fair enough. Nervelita (discuss • contribs) 17:27, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
