Renegade
Renegade is a long time and trusted user; likely that edit was somehow inadvertent or otherwise an accident. Please do not toss around the word "vandalism" lightly. 31dot (talk) 15:28, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * There was nothing "light" about it. I spent ten minutes trying to recall my original account credentials (without any success) then created myself an account, just to revert the obviously incorrect edit and point it out to the user involved. Thanks. Tomalak16 (talk) 15:30, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

I just wished to clarify that incorrect edits are not necessarily vandalism; they are just incorrect. Vandalism is a deliberate effort to disrupt a page's content. 31dot (talk) 15:35, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Do note that the word "esd" is exactly one key off of "was", which was the intended edit. So, accidental. -- sulfur (talk) 15:37, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, that does appear to be the case. I merely wanted to inform the user involved. The mistake was made several times, and the "Preview" option clearly not used for proof-reading in this instance. Tomalak16 (talk) 16:12, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks 31dot - I was not aware of that distinction. Tomalak16 (talk) 16:12, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support 31dot and sulfur... I appreciate it. Tomalak, 31dot is correct in that it *was* an accident, (or esd an accident, in this case :), and that one should not use the term vandalism lightly... but no offense taken on my part. Thanks for catching my typo... sulfur was correct in noticing that my fingers were one key off on the keyboard. I almost always use preview, but as you mentioned, I probably didn't this one time... and it bit me! Anyway, thanks (and sorry!) to all involved. -- Renegade54 (talk) 13:34, April 15, 2013 (UTC)
