Bad revert[change source]
Hi there, please make sure that you take care when reverting edits on the wiki. You recently made a reversion to User:Alirio/sandbox which was a bad one - the user was editing within their own userspace, and a quick Google of the titles used also throws them up to be legitimate. Please take a little more care and less haste when reverting in future. Thanks, Goblin 13:49, 31 August 2014 (UTC) I ♥ Yottie!
- I will. I didn't see that it was userspace. --Reception123/Receptie123 (talk) 13:50, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
