- Hi! The above message is automated, but I also have a few personal points I'd like to mention!... I've noticed your edits to a number of articles related to the Wigan area. I have to say I'm very much impressed by your work - particularly with regards to the county status and the type of contributions you are making. I'm not sure of your level of experience in editting, but if you ever feel the need to chat or would like support, do please get in touch.
- If you take an interest in editting towards excellence, a (strict) policy on county status (which you are very much adhering to) is found here. If you would like to edit these Wigan based articles towards a high standard, good quality example articles about settlements include Sheffield, Bath and for the Greater Manchester area - Shaw and Crompton. You could use these examples to take ideas from for article content.
- Hope that helps your experience of editting somewhat. I do apologise if you are an experienced editor. However, do keep up the great work and do feel free to contact me if you would like any assistance! Jhamez84 00:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit summaries
Another point would be to bring your attention to Edit Summaries.
When editing an article, there is a small field labeled "Summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
It is highly recommended that one fills in the edit summary field with a breif but clear and comprehensive summary of your actions, as it makes it easier for you and your fellow contributors to understand what has changed, and is helpful when going through the history of the page. Anyway, on that note, I shall leave you to contribute! Good luck. Jhamez84 15:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
