`  == The Sheltons ==  Per Wikipedia talk page guidelines, I see Nyttend already restored your comments to the talk page. See, your comments about Margaret and Mary Shelton should be put back for posterity (and for the archives, eventually).  Otherwise they will be impossible to find using the search engine.  OTOH, what replaced them in response looks like user page material, and might be moved there.  So Nyttend  went to the history tab of Talk:Margaret and Mary Shelton, and activated ``undo``. (You can still go back and edit your comments. Nothing wrong with that if they're not part of an edit war.) I would put your replacement posting on 's talk page if you want that to be searchable, but she looks like a very productive editor for the history articles on Wikipedia. Check out her contributions: activate ``User contributions`` in the sidebar, while on her user page.  Specifically addressing your situation and statements. You'll see, it'll all make sense.  You seem to know that when you say are digging in your heels.  Welcome to the mess! The search engine is your friend: please see ```` and see (at least) your Expert rebellion, et.al, for an example of its helpfulness. Also, to begin get a grasp on the vast volumes of Wikipedia to find articles at your level of ``messy`` see `` or equivalently: Special:CategoryTree/History, where categories (C is for category) and articles (P is for page) for history is just the tip of the iceberg.  —  `
