Some things every Wikipedia editor should remember...
We are editors, not Bloggers. No matter how forum-like some talk pages and Wikipedia discussions are, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia – not a social network.
We should not feed the trolls. The vast majority of vandals are here at best to cause minor graffiti and at worst to disrupt the encyclopedia – not your day. It is better to allow the community to deal with a user than stalking them seeking revenge.
We are people not usernames. When you are typing messages, you are typing to a person. If you would not say something to a person sitting in the room with you, don't send it to another user.
If the issue personal or private, please e-mail me.
I value time everyone's time, both yours and mine. If you are at this page to yell at me for reverting your vandalism, your post will probably be removed without further discussion, so please don't waste my time or yours.
Please be civil. If you're here to personally attack me or violate other policy in your message, your post will be removed without further discussion.
I will try to answer reasonable questions and comments, however, I'm not really interested in arguing with you on points of fact or philosophy. I don't usually run to Mommy and/or Daddy on every little issue, but if necessary, I will report abusive editors to WP:ANI or WP:LONG.
My interests vary from day-to-day, so my edits may cross a large number of interest areas. If I edit a topic you are passionate about and you came here angry about my edit, take a deep breath. I believe that Wikipedia should be the place to go to for information, but vandals, trolls, and the uninformed make it fall short of that goal, so I try not to be one.
If your concern/comment/plaudit is none of the above, feel free to post away!
Please post new messages at the bottom and remember that stating your message clearly, rationally, and precisely on my talk page helps me to respond quickly. Note that I do delete messages from this page once I have read them since I can always review old threads in the history.

Hi Absolon: I noticed you undid the revision to the Savannah State University edit I imposed for the end date. I am not interested in getting into a lame edit war, but just so you know, I contacted the school and spoke with a representative who verified that the seal has not been discontinued. She went further to note that the website non-usage of the seal does not constitute discontinued use. The seal is embossed on college diplomas(degrees) awarded by the institution, college transcripts, and is used during official ceremonies and events. If you choose to keep the end date under the seal simply because it is no longer used on the website, that is incorrect. Colleges and Universities tend to use logos as well as their official seals in various ways. I've yet to see a traditional university emboss a logo on a transcript or a degree. If you have verified that savannah state embosses logos on their degrees now instead of the official seal, then I am mistaken. However, I seriously doubt that. Kind Regards liberallefty79
