[edit] Welcome
Hello BigD527, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions to things windy and things presidential. I visited Harvard a few years ago and loved the place. Enjoy your time there, and enjoy your time here, on Wikipedia. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- How to edit a page

- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit] Request for edit summary
Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 1% for major edits and 8% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 12 minor edits in the article namespace.)
This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Television episode articles
Hey, in case you haven't read this article before, it's a good review on the accepted guidelines for articles about individual episodes. The main point of it is that articles should be very synoptic in order to avoid fancruft. Jtrost (T | C | #) 04:27, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revert on Wikipedia
Your reversion of my edit to Wikipedia was incorrect. I removed the template you restored because it was being deleted, as stated in the edit summary. Please be more careful when reverting, even to articles that are frequent vandal targets. Opabinia regalis 02:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Either the vandalism was to a transcluded template, or there was a browser cache issue. Look at your diff above - the only change was to restore a nonexistent template. Opabinia regalis 03:04, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
