From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Leo Tolstoy. Please be careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Kbh3rdtalk 05:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your efforts to improve Wikipedia. Simply use the edit summary when deleting material. It is prominently displayed immediately above the Save page button whenever you edit. It exists to explain your intentions, which is immensely helpful to other editors. Its consistent use will avoid your intentions from being misconstrued, saving us both extra work. Simply enter "Rm extraneous material per talk page", e.g. When patroling recent changes for vandalism it is impractical to hunt for rationale on every article's talk page. Random obscenities on a page are obviously vandalism. Unexplained removal of large blocks of text are usually assumed to be so, because they usually are. --Kbh3rdtalk 13:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 07:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
