== Editing comments ==
I saw [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=User_talk:KN&diff=2072117&oldid=2070852 your recent edit], and I wanted to point out that you appear to have crossed over a line with that edit. To quickly go through the problems with it:
*If you're signing your post, please make sure the date/time are accurate, that way it doesn't look like you came back several weeks later to insert a comment mid-conversation.
*Imposing your own stylistic tendencies in the manner you did when you capitalized "she" and added a period (which change the flow of the sentence while being unnecessary since the sentence was already grammatically correct) effectively changes what Foxlion said. Since someone else reading it would think that Foxlion had said it that way, it could be considered a form of impersonation (i.e. your words with his signature attached), which is vandalism.
*Removing the parenthetical from Foxlion's comment is, at the very least, poor form since it's in reference to you, and could be seen as an edit made in bad faith, which is also an act of vandalism.
*Removing comments from other's talk pages, as you did with Squid Boy's comment, is not something that should be done, and because it's a comment that portrays you in a bad light, it could be taken as a self-serving attempt to censor others, which would be acting in bad faith (i.e. an act of vandalism).
Long story short, it's generally sound advice to simply refrain from editing other's comments. About the most you can do is correct a misspelling in a way that remains consistent with the message and tone of the comment, but even that can be questionable at times, so it's probably best to avoid editing them at all. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 17:17, 17 May 2013 (BST)

Re: Your lesson

I don't expect a reply, no. That is why I gave you a lecture instead of starting a discussion. As for your 'rights', you can explain anytime you wish. After all, killing you seems to have made you more vocal, has it not? I'm so glad you heeded my lesson. Just remember the bit about the zergs next time. Also, I am in fact a Saint! You can just call me KN though. --Citizen KN PK Talk 15:51, 5 May 2013 (BST)

Editing comments

I saw your recent edit, and I wanted to point out that you appear to have crossed over a line with that edit. To quickly go through the problems with it:

  • If you're signing your post, please make sure the date/time are accurate, that way it doesn't look like you came back several weeks later to insert a comment mid-conversation.
  • Imposing your own stylistic tendencies in the manner you did when you capitalized "she" and added a period (which change the flow of the sentence while being unnecessary since the sentence was already grammatically correct) effectively changes what Foxlion said. Since someone else reading it would think that Foxlion had said it that way, it could be considered a form of impersonation (i.e. your words with his signature attached), which is vandalism.
  • Removing the parenthetical from Foxlion's comment is, at the very least, poor form since it's in reference to you, and could be seen as an edit made in bad faith, which is also an act of vandalism.
  • Removing comments from other's talk pages, as you did with Squid Boy's comment, is not something that should be done, and because it's a comment that portrays you in a bad light, it could be taken as a self-serving attempt to censor others, which would be acting in bad faith (i.e. an act of vandalism).

Long story short, it's generally sound advice to simply refrain from editing other's comments. About the most you can do is correct a misspelling in a way that remains consistent with the message and tone of the comment, but even that can be questionable at times, so it's probably best to avoid editing them at all.
