But you seemed to suggest that you were just not *bothered* about much of the chatter (links to platiarism-related things, included?), but that you'd tolerate it and just personally skip over it, rather than have any good reason to remove several persons' comments. (None of them mine, I'm not being 'precious' about my own contributions.) So, I'm wondering if it's actually an editing error of some kind.

Best guess is that you went back in the History to find the 'missing signing details' and then edited the ''legacy'' incarnation of the page to add your discovered info.

Passing query...

Can't actually tell from your comment whether you actually intended to remove several contributions. I get that you did want to sign an unsigned comment (note, best done with {{unsigned up|<their IP>|<the timestamp>}} template item, copying both from the appropriate Diff-page header element). But you seemed to suggest that you were just not *bothered* about much of the chatter (links to plagiarism-related things, included?), but that you'd tolerate it and just personally skip over it, rather than have any good reason to remove several persons' comments. (None of them mine, I'm not being 'precious' about my own contributions.) So, I'm wondering if it's actually an editing error of some kind.

Best guess is that you went back in the History to find the 'missing signing details' and then edited the legacy incarnation of the page to add your discovered info.
