Charles Fried

My change to the Charles Fried page was to comport with the following: "When quoting a vulgarity or obscenity, it should appear exactly as it does in the cited source; words should never be bowdlerized by replacing letters with dashes, asterisks, or other symbols." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style. As such, I've put it back into place.

Thanks.

I agree with your changes as per the Manual of Style. Yet when making changes, try to please cite the material so that others can easily verify the validity of your change. Sorry again for the mix up, hopefully we can avoid that in the future. Matthew Yeager (talk) 05:54, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of U.S. presidential relatives

K, tried again with an edit summary, it wasn't vandalism. user:Godo Dodo didn't get the ones I was using in the previous edits, mis-reverted me as vandalism, then suggested I stop the weird edit summaries. Next edit, I forget to use an edit summary at all. And with those few bytes I stuck my foot in something deep and brown and smelly. Hope that's all solved now.
