Income tax in the United States

Thank you for experimenting with the page Income tax in the United States on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Bearian (talk) 20:35, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks like you assumed my edit was vandalism, rather than a basic (and trivially checked) factual correction. It seems like someone else has since reverted your reversion and my edit stands, which is good, since it was a correction, and if I didn't make it, someone else would have to. Also, thanks for the “Welcome to Wikipedia” boilerplate. I've been here since 2007 though, so it's a little belated. Nevertheless, keep up the good work. I'm sure you catch lots of actual vandalism, and I like your tone — you really try to assume people have good intentions and didn't realize they'd screwed up.

Question about old edit

In 2012, you made an edit to the page Syntax highlighting (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Syntax_highlighting?diff=prev&oldid=481388612) which included this line:

> One of the first such editor for code was Wilfred Hansen's 1969 code editor Emily.

I looked at the source you referenced (and the sources referenced on the current version of the page), but I couldn't find anything saying Emily was written in 1969. I tried looking in other places on the internet, but I didn't find anything there either.

It was a long time ago, but do you remember how you got that information?
