[edit] And apologies

I blocked you for about 30 seconds mistakingly under our username policy which states:

   
“
 Names of well-known living or recently deceased people, such as Chuck Norris or Ken Lay, unless you are that living person. If you are, please note this on your user page.
   
”

However the celeb isnt Paul A Newman, so I apologise. You are good to go now :) Glen 13:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signing posts

As a courtesy for other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added along with a timestamp. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Gamaliel 18:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good edit, bad edit summary

For the PZ Myers article, you switched out a link in favor of a link to an interview. There is no problem with that in and of itself, but you decided to editorialize in your edit summary. To wit:

removered odd link to wacko fundie nutjob cartoon website

Edit summaries probably should remain as NPOV as the articles. Not only do such comments show bias, but they offer nothing positive to Wiki and could possibly instigate edit or flame wars. Thank you. Jinxmchue 21:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 22:47, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
