Pidgin

Hello Shain. I saw your edit to Pidgin, and I got a little confused. Isn't the definition that you added basically the same thing as the article's first sentence? I've removed your sentence, but if you could clarify, maybe it could be re-added.--The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 16:00, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shain, I'm rather confused too. I've had a look at your contributions and although one or two of them seem to be useful additions, you appear to have made a lot of edits that are simply repetitions of what's already been said in the article or, in the case of Langue, out of place entirely in the context. There's also a fair bit of POV stuff and 'tips' that are out of place in an encyclopaedia. Maybe it'd be worth taking a look at the edit guides mentioned above. garik 18:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
