Revision as of 17:39, May 24, 2014
Something you may not know...
In the English language, the names of countries, such as "Egypt," are what are known as "proper nouns," and are thus spelled with the first letter in upper case. The same goes with adjectives based on country names or religions, such as "Estonian," or "Islamist." EddyJ 09:46, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
- OK I will note it in future --JoeyJ 10:51, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
Idi Amin
"In 1971 he coup in power..." What does that mean? Do you mean he "staged a coup"? Also, what does "tenue" mean? You've used that word several times in your edits. I don't think I've ever seen it before. EddyJ 13:12, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
- Yes I mean staged the coup. --JoeyJ 13:14, 23 June 2013 (EDT)

Int'l Democratic Union
I have made the International Democratic Union page a redirect rather than a deletion candidate. If you'd still rather it be deleted, feel free to revert. WesleyS 13:37, 22 November 2013 (EST)
- I prefer the deletion because International DemocratIC Union is wrong spelled.--JoeyJ 14:39, 22 November 2013 (EST)
Great work on Mandela
Great edits to Mandela; I just got back from California which is why I only saw them now; I spruced up the presentation of the references a little bit (just throwing in some templates), but I think that section is perfect so far.--IDuan 19:44, 17 December 2013 (EST)
Reverting vandalism
I'm not an expert, and maybe there are spiffier ways to do this, but the method I use is this: Go to the history listing. The last (top) item will list the vandalized version. The one before it (or two before it, or whatever you want to revert to; pay close attention) will be the one you want to revert to. Click on the date/time stamp for that item. It will bring up that version and say "This is an old revision" blah blah blah. Click edit. You will see big warnings that you are editing the wrong version, and that if you save from there, later edits will be lost!!! That is, of course, exactly what you want. Click save.
