[edit] Edit summary

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

Thanks for the feedback. I know I made a lot of small edits without it; just a bit of burnout. I'm making lots of repetitive changes, as you might notice. I'll try to keep to the guidelines in the future.MJ the Prophet 19:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
You can just copy and paste a simple summary in through Ctrl-v or use the auto complete facility of your browser to do the same, I've used both. I know it's hard work but it does make it easier to evaluate edits when they have summaries; most vandals don't provide them and so it makes their edits easier to spot of the rest of us do. Take it easy though, don't burn yourself out, and have fun. See you around. Steve block Talk 20:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template and edits

Hello. I notice you've been adding Template:Superheroboxneeded to articles. I'd recommend you not, anymore. For reasons which I have stated here, I'd recommend that template not be used in articles at all. If you'd like to add an SHB, I'd say "give it a shot". Otherwise, I'd leve articles like Protector (comics) and Goldstar (DC Comics) alone. In fact, I'd hope you could revert your additions of that template to all articles you've editted.

I see. Well, unfortunately, I don't know enough about the comics themselves to really add the actual SHBs. I saw this category as something to check on the Project Comics page, but noticed that the category had about 4 entries. So, I decided to make it a useful category. I've got over 250 entries of it now, so I'm a little disappointed to learn I need to revert all of those; it took me quite a while. Based on your comments, couldn't we just make a better template? I feel that the character box is certainly a good addition to any article on a character; adding an info box is part of the wikification process. Instead of abandoning what is currently useless, why not put in a little effort and make it useful? I'll hold off for now though. MJ the Prophet 19:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I suppose we could. See the thread I pointed to in my first comment. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I suggest you look at the SHB template page and add the boxes themselves instead of what you have been doing. You wouldn't even have to fill in the information, just getting the boxes in place would be a better way to improve the articles. CovenantD 00:06, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Just thought you'd like to know, l updated the SHB for the Amos Fortune (comics) with a picture. Merry Christmas, and dont let the wiki-users get you down. HungryJacks 21:27, 25 December 2006 (EST).
