[edit] quick request

Hi, thanks for your work at the Amherst College article! Just one quick request: Could you please use the "preview" function (to the right of the button "save page") rather than saving your changes dozens of times? It greatly facilitates finding changes in the history of the article because it keeps the history very compact and concise. Thanks, Ibn Battuta 08:18, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another request

Hello, I would also like to request that if you have a dispute regarding a section of an article, that you discuss it on the article's talk page before repeatedly changing it to the version you prefer. I am referring in particular to the paragraph on Jeffery Amherst in the Amherst College article. Some of the comments you added to this paragraph earlier today are more appropriate for the talk page, and discussing the issues on the talk page will help build consensus among editors -- the goal for Wikipedia articles. Thank you, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions. -David Schaich Talk/Cont 00:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Again, please put discussion material on the talk page of the Amherst list. There is a discussion there relating to the issue you're concerned with. MrVibrating (talk) 20:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page guidelines

I noticed that you edited someone else's comment on Talk:Amherst College. As a rule, please refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are altering. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you, -David Schaich Talk/Cont 02:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amherst College

Dear author interested in the Amherst College article,, in case you haven't seen it - I've made a suggestion here.

If you don't disagree within one week of my original post (i.e. until Friday, October 12), I will take that as silent agreement and will change the article accordingly. I will also ask others, such as the people from "Wikipedia:WikiProject Massachusetts", to keep an eye on the article, so that nobody will make further alterations about that part before having discussed them on the discussion page. Thank you for your collaboration. Best regards, Ibn Battuta 16:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wesleyan University faculty

Where is the evidence that C. P. Snow was on their faculty? It should appear in the article with a reference before he is added to that category. --Bduke (talk) 21:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Wesleyan University people has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing.
