Hi, I wonder whether the edit on the page Sialic acid by user 129.78.228.114 might be vandalism? Ianmc
- Hello Ianmc - I think the user was eliminating duplication / rearranging the text in the article. There were some typos, which I've now fixed. Was there anything that I've missed? Thanks, Ian Cairns 22:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hi - If I'm interpreting the revision history correctly the user added the bit about pepsi and flatulence on his first edit, which is somewhat outside the current orthodoxy on the biology of sialic acid. I was thinking of deleting it but didn't really want to go down that path more so when a Sysop put it into the body of the text. I'm still relatively unsure of the netiquette in this forum. I'll ask the user direct and see if I get a reasonable response. Apologies if I have bothered you unecessarily. --Ianmc 21:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hello Ianmc - No bother at all. You are urged to 'be bold' with your editing. If people disagree with your corrections, they can always revert. I must admit that I thought the sentence was suspect - I was simply copyediting to put it into the right place. My edit said nothing about the correctness of the sentence. I'll delete this line shortly - if you haven't done so in the meantime. Ian Cairns 21:22, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I kept the article, per the consensus. I then boldly merged and redirected it based on my own decision that it is better covered in Tilehurst. No consensus is needed for that, but you are free to revert my edits; I won't object in this case. I apologize, I should have made this process more clear, though the edit history does reflect it.

- Thanks for the explanation. I'll go with the consensus if you don't mind and revert. Thanks, Ian Cairns 22:08, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
