CIMA

Abtract: I noticed your comment on my talk page about my entry on the CIMA page. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and CIMA announced last week that the credential to be issued by their joint venture will be the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) credential. The joint venture will begin issuing the CGMA credential early in 2012. This is what I wanted to reflect in my edit of the CIMA article. If I was not clear enough please change in accordingly. I am a member of a national AICPA committee and received the AICPA press release on the subject last week. Regards. FLAHAM (talk) 14:28, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I reverted your edit for three reasons. First, it seemd odd as I couldn't quite see how a global qualification could be chartered (who would issue the charter?). Second, there was no citation which is a sign that it may not be correct. And last, when I went to your talk page I saw that your only contact with the WP world seemed to have also been rejected by another editor. Having said all that, you make a good sounding rebutal and I an now inclined to think you probably know what you are talking about. To put my mind at ease and avoid someone else reverting you, can I suggest that you include a citation? Apologies for reverting and thanks for stopping by. Abtract (talk) 15:02, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello, at your suggestion I have added to the CIMA article a reference to the AICPA press release on the new Chartered Glogal Management Accountant credential. Regards.FLAHAM (talk) 02:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC) By the way, I am the primary author of two articles and have contributed to perhaps two dozen.

Thanks. Abtract (talk) 12:09, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Your most recent edit on Mythology

Hi. I just noticed your most recent edit on Mythology: you reworded a sourced statement, changing the word "men" to "humans"; your edit summary says, "There are quite a few women in myths". I'm a bit puzzled by this edit summary. It seems to suggest that you reworded the sentence because you thought that it was factually incorrect (e.g. that it limited human involvement in myths to male human involvement). Of course, as you probably know, you can't just change a sourced statement (even a factually incorrect one), because that might cause it to say something other than what the source says. Now, I haven't reverted your edit, both because it was obviously a good-faith edit and because it seems rather innocuous. I mean, the word "men" in that sentence was clearly being used to denote humans in general, so your edit didn't actually change the meaning of the sentence. Please don't get the wrong idea: I'm not here to pick a fight with you. I'm just mildly confused about the rationale behind your edit. Were you simply trying to update the sentence to reflect modern English usage (in which "man" is no longer the usual term for referring to humans in general)? If so, then I have no objection. --Phatius McBluff (talk) 17:21, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
