[edit] Fly Shit

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Music#Albums, bands, and songs. "Albums are italicized and songs are in quotes." Thanks! --Geniac 19:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Preview

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --Geniac 19:51, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Geniac 14:47, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please use Edit Summary

I have noted that you often 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. 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! --Geniac 22:18, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overlinking

Please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links)#Overlinking. Low added-value items such as years should not be wikilinked. --Geniac 01:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't forget

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thanks, and happy editing.
