Is there a way to go back and add the HopelessGleek (talk) 09:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC) to my previous edits? Or is it sufficient leave them as-is and just start signing now on? Thanks![reply]

No, sorry, there is no way to attribute previous edits to this account; just leave them but sign on from now. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:07, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

For your adjustment of the INES rating statement. I found it surprising and found no mainstream media, IEAE, or TEPCO reporting, but also considered it could just be "hot from the press". I think it is based on TEPCO stating that if the reactor vessel at nr x is ruptured, the INES for that reactor will be increased.... here.... but then, that is also hardly a very reliable source to counter your claim.

Yes, I first saw this at ZeroHedge.com and spent over half an hour trying to find a better source but could not. However, Asahi is the biggest newspaper in Japan so I assume the statement is valid. And since the date on the source article is 3/26, I believe you are correct that this is "hot from the press," but removed the word "officially" from my initial edit since I couldn't find a primary source yet.

I'm still new to Wikipedia and am still learning the ropes, so hopefully I replied to your comment in the right place. HopelessGleek (talk) 11:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I updated it a bit now to reflect both news sources and indicated in the text which source said what (just to be sure). I think before the end of the day (in Europe that is), we'll have a better feeling for what has happened and make a more definate statement... (and your replying here is ok; only if you would start your comment with a ":" as I did, it will indent a bit, which makes it easier to see different comments... Rgds!
