replies: text: Whether you are a robot or not, the edit summary says "(cleanup using AWB)", so it is perfectly reasonable to suppose that the edits were made by the robot, AWB. You claim to be following guidelines, but are clearly Cherry-Picking those guidelines you choose to comply with. The Manual of Style says, "An overriding principle on Wikipedia is that style and formatting should be applied consistently within articles, though not necessarily throughout the encyclopedia as a whole." The style is consistent within this article and therefore does not require your attention. The Manual of Style also says, "...that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. Where there is disagreement over which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor." You are therefore needlessly changing the style to suit your own agenda in contravention of the guidelines you use to defend your actions. Please divert your editorial attention to articles that might benefit from your assistance. Cottonshirtτ 06:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
