Introduction

I think the introduction should be rearranged slightly. Optimist 13:50, 13 May 2007 (CDT)

Introduction

How so? If you think it needs to be changed, then by all means you should do so.

My comment wasn't very useful or informative. What I had in mind is that specifying the topic of the article should happen preferably in the first sentence. I will try and make the introduction do that. Optimist 10:26, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
A new article beginning that presents the topic immediately is now put in, but I have not edited the original introduction except giving it a headline basically so the table of contents should be placed above it. The original introduction may come across as a little "mismatched" after the first intro, since sentences from the original are what I used in the new intro. Some more work could be done later to try and improve the mismatch impression which I suspect is there now. Anyway, I think the article begins better now as the topic is presented right away. Optimist 17:08, 18 May 2007 (CDT)
Poor short term memory today, seems I did in fact not just copy, but "cut" some sentences to the new intro, so the original introduction is not in fact exactly as it were. Not sure, but looking at the original introduction as it follows the new one, they do actually seem to give a kind of reasonable impression seen together. Hope I didn't delete any sentences that should have remained, but I think I didn't. (Note to self, maybe not wise to edit tinWiki when having a bit of fever...) Optimist 17:23, 18 May 2007 (CDT)

I am terribly sorry...

From complete absent minded-ness, I actually deleted this page when I was supposed to simply rollback a spam edit, just now. This wouldn't have been a big problem, but what has happened is that the whole version history list seems to be gone. Again, I am very sorry about this mistake. I copied at least the list from the Restore feature page, but the actual contents of each edit seem to be gone:

I am very sorry, and hope I will not ever do this again in the future. I may have made a mistake when Restoring, what I did is check the latest version and click "Restore", but maybe there is a way to restore the whole page including version history. I will try and see if I can get the version history back. Sincerely Optimist 06:39, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

Reaching the deleted edits

There is a link in the History page to a list over the deleted versions, and a deletion log. It seems the version can be seen through that link. I will put a box on top of this discussion page, with an easy-to-see link to the deleted versions list. Optimist 06:43, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

No big deal

It is not a great big deal Optimist. From viewing the page it looks like most of the material is there, minus the page views. Accidents happen, trust me. :-)

William One Sac, thank you. Yes, when I restored the page, I had checked the very latest version, so that is what should have been restored. Then, I tried to Restore without having checked any of the versions in the history list, and so what was restored on that second attempt, I'm not 100% sure, of course, but what I assume is that the article also then got restored to how it was last (that is, the newest version it had). It should be quite doable to compare the present wiki code content with the latest version before the accidental deletion, so since the version history list -- with each version's content -- exists, no article text from any version should be lost, which I was quite relieved to see. Thanks again, and I will try and be more careful in the future when deleting after spam. Optimist 16:24, 7 May 2008 (CDT)
