[edit] Redlinks
Hi, please read WP:REDLINK. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with redlinks. Please also learn to provide edit summaries, which let other users know what you are trying to do with your edits. Unexplained removal of WikiMarkup can look like vandalism. Katr67 (talk) 02:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, please do leave red links in -- in most cases they are there because it's likely they will link to an article in the future. -Pete (talk) 02:50, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Show preview, please
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, 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. Thank you. Katr67 (talk) 02:31, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] British v.s. U.S. spelling
Please do not change U.S. spelling to British or vice-versa unless the topic is especially pertinent to one or the other, or you bring it up on the articles talk page first. I have reverted your changes. Oberiko (talk) 13:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please do not delete relevant information
You have deleted relevant information in the NFRA article without providing any explanation as to why. This is bad manners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.3.5.1 (talk) 14:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- Note that your vandalism warning to this anon user was not necessary. I believe the user acted in good faith when editing National Federation of Republican Assemblies. (diff. Please be more measured in your editing. Thanks. Katr67 (talk) 20:23, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- The items that are deleted are personal and do not belong on an organizational page. The comments added by the "unsigned" poster are unrelevant information.cbrown285 (talk)
[edit] Please use edit summaries
I have noticed 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!

[edit] National Federation of Republican Assemblies Mediation
I see that you have been involved in a dispute about the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. For your information the mediation case has been closed (I believe wrongly) and have requested that it be reopened, meanwhile if you are interested in following the case you can find it here.
