Alteration on Brittany Murphy

Why did you alter what I put on the Brittany Murphy page? My contribution was more detailed than yours and it had a reference so why did it need changing? All you've done is make it shorter. I think you've only done it to get another edit on your contibutions list.TammiMagee 08:24, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TammiMagee! I am not sure how to "email" you back on Wikipedia so I hope you get this. If you get this reply, will you edit back this page so that I know that this worked? Also, will you tell me the best way to email a user. I'm a newbie and even though I've searched, I can't figure it out.

In regards to the Brittany Murphy Page, I didn't delete anything-- really. I just added that sentence about her getting married and put a reference. Then I realized there was a more reliable (if people magazine can be considered reliable) reference, and so I edited my own reference. In reply to this statement: "I think you've only done it to get another edit on your contibutions list" I'm not quite sure what you mean. I've only edited one or two pages in the past 6 months, and that's because I thought it was something useful that I wished had been o the page. I'm not sure what the value would be of adding to a contribution list of mine. I don't work for Wikipedia and there's no benefit to me for making edits(though I'm not sure if that's what you mean).

I edited the page because I came here looking for the song that she sang (I thought it was with Moby not Oakenfold, so my searches on Google came up with nothing helpful). As I was reading I saw that there was no mention of her getting married, so I added it.

I just went back and looked at the History of the Brittany Murphy page. If you look there at my first edit to the page, at current, you'll see what I saw when I added the sentence: no reference to Brittany Murphy getting married, unless I'm reading the history page wrong- which is totally possible- like I said: I'm new :) Anyway, I think that the user "A Raider Like Indiana" deleted it. Maybe ask her?

OK

Ok, if it wasnt you who deleted my edit then I apologise. I will ask the other user about it. Your reply worked by the way. Thanks for getting back to meTammiMagee 14:20, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
