[edit] Many edits

Hi Jasonqueue - great job on the Sara Ramírez article. However, can I ask you to try to compact your edits a bit? Today you made 6 separate edits to the same article. Every time you click the Save page button, the Wikipedia software saves an entire new copy of the page with all its text and formatting to the servers - not just the bits you changed. So that one article was duplicated six times, with only minor changes each time. If you want to make several changes, you can do them all in the same edit - you don't have to do them separately at all, in fact for space reasons we actively encourage taking a long time over one edit to get everything right, rather than making lots of small ones. This isn't a warning, or me getting angry or anything like that - in fact, it's only a request, you can keep making multiple edits if you really have to. It's just better organisationally if you combine everything into one. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 20:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
