Sometimes, RickK, Anthere's tone can appear as an attack but it is usually just because, as someone whose first language is not english, the fact that she made be being ironic may not communicated clearly. Most people find it difficult to express subtle nuances in languages other than their mother tongue. (You should hear me trying to be ironic in french!!!)
Please remember, folks, Michael is the bad guy here. RickK like so many of us was simply trying to undo Michael's vandalism. Don't let Michael create a situation where, as well as regularly vandalising our site, he starts fights among decent users over how to deal with him. RickK tried to do the right thing in the wrong way. Most of have at some stage. The sooner the Michael problem is dealt with the better for all of us.

I'm going to try very hard not to take that as an attack, but it's very hard to do.

I did the delete. I thought the original page's history stayed with the original name. Sorry. I don't know how to do an undelete or I'd do it. But then, how do you rename it so that it keeps the history? And it was Michael who did the move to begin with. He's decided to visit us again today.

Perhaps it would be better than anyone practicing deletion, knew how to practice undeletion as well :-) check here and good luck

Absolutely. RickK acted in good faith -- I hope I didn't sound in my original email as if I was blaming him. What happens to article histories when you delete and move is arcane knowledge! ;)
