About me

I am an amateur musician who recorded an album released on vinyl many years ago. Sadly, neither the recording artist nor the album has a Wikipedia article.

Those who are wondering what my username means, should look —> here. <—

My favourite edit summaries

For the uninitiated, an edit summary is a brief comment explaining what a change is about. On "diff" pages (which the links below will take you to), the edit summary can be found on the 3rd line from the top of the right column, near the upper right corner of your screen. Most of these edits were reverts. I figure a little whimsy can take the sting out of having one's contributions reverted.

• one (first time I dared to add this tag to an article)
• two (what I meant was, fixing errors made by a bot)
• three (especially big revert)
• four (now if he'd said lounge...)
• five (me too)
• six (verbosely)
• seven (again)
• eight (take your choice)
• nine (Schubert just rolled over)
• ten (but have some sugar... how many lumps?)
• eleven (and again)
• twelve (a previous edit changed "efforts" to "works")
• thirteen (do you like it?)
• fourteen (I'll make this editor sing a different tune)
• fifteen (first appearance in this list, of someone else's edit summary)
• sixteen (before viewing, put on your sense of humour, check your sense of outrage at the lobby, then find the link within the link, and scroll to the bottom)
• seventeen (oh, my ears!)
• eighteen (not even with a hammer)
• nineteen (never pass up the opportunity to quote Pat Paulsen)
• twenty (must be using the 16 rpm speed)
• twenty-one (pig POV)
• twenty-two (do as I say, not as I do)
• twenty-three (I hadn't had my morning cornflakes yet — and as you can guess, I've made this change before)
• twenty-four (it was all a load of cobblers anyway! *groan*)
• twenty-five (the few who don't, must pack a lot of lunches)
