Where did my edit go?
Feb 9 2012, 12:43 PM EST
Um... I did a rewrite of this page back in August of 2010. As quoted from my edit thread, I included, "a new section on the Ferro Rods suggested in the previous thread, but also sections on other commercial emergency fire starters and several "bush craft" style fire starters, such as magnifying lenses, bow drills, hand drills, push plows and any other methods that I can dig up."Now all that information is gone. What happened to it? Do you find this valuable?

According to the edit log, you have never worked on this page:http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/Alternative+Fire+Starters/history I'm lost. Any ideas? Do you find this valuable? |

EDIT: Virtually same post as Stryker's. Added note, maybe WK worked on a different page.

Maybe a server hiccup? That's happened before.

"Maybe a server hiccup? That's happened before."Yeah, but not in a way that would remove data from the page edit history. This would be the first time that a page has done that in those circumstances. Do you find this valuable? |

From this happening to me when posting on facebook, this I what I reckon. Probably wrong, but even so...If you have 2 duplicate pages open in seperate tabs, and are editing one, the other page will not show the edit. If you then close the edited tab, you can lose all of your work. This would explain the editing log not showing that you edited it. Do you find this valuable? |

WK, unless you did it under a different account name, there's no record in your page contributions that indicates that you did a re-write of this article. I just looked through your account page edits for all of August 2010 and there's nothing there but profile edits, a T-shirt contest contribution and a single image added to "Pre-made forts."http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/account/White76Knight/history?offset=560&maxResults=20 (You'll nee to go back and forward from the page selected to see the rest of the month, but all that's there are profile edits.)

Well bloody hell. I know I DID do an edit to the page, I worked on it for about three days. I have no idea why it wouldn't be showing up anywhere. Too bad I didn't keep a copy of it. So should I give it another go and do it over again? Do you find this valuable? |

Absolutely, I'm looking forward to your additions. I've been thinking "fire making" stuff all day today. =)

"WK, perhaps you edited another page that got renamed?"Nope. I had this page bookmarked and everything. Came to this one, clicked edit on this one, clicked save on this one, then... Poof... apparently it all disappeared. As I just said to LJ, though, I'll try to repost it sometime over the next couple days. Do you find this valuable? |

This is strange. There's no way to modify the edit log is there? Do you find this valuable? |

"Considering how cruddy wetpaint's servers have been, it could have gotten lost when you saved it, perhaps."Yeah, that's pretty much the way I'm leaning. @ Zee-Man: Nope, you're innocent in all this, dude. This edit was done over a year ago. Do you find this valuable? |

Since then, some other commitments on my time have prevented me from completing the project, but I'll finish it up sometime over the next couple of days. Thank you for your patience.
