[edit] Editing pattern
Hi! Your editing pattern is somewhat unusual for a new editor; you appear to make extensive modifications to articles, marked as minor edits without a summary. If you have previously contributed to Wikipedia (or continue to do so) under a different name or anonymously, would you mind describing the nature of that contribution? Thanks!

- OK, not that new. Would you perhaps take the time to read Wikipedia:Edit summary, Wikipedia:Minor edit and Wikipedia:Etiquette, to get your editing more into line with how we editors tend to prefer to work together? EdC 21:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jack the Ripper Article
Very impressed with your 'minor' edit! Addhoc 16:04, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't! Far from minor, too. Guy Hatton 22:10, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Have to agree with Guy here, those edits made the article much harder to read and in places didn't make sense. 172.145.151.79 20:27, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Minor edits
Please stop making extensive edits and marking them as minor. It disrupts the editing process and makes it difficult to respond to changes to the article. EdC 03:00, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jacob Neusner
Given your ability in copy editing, would you consider having a look at the Jacob Neusner article? Addhoc 16:17, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unhelpful edits
You need to stop editing or you need to consult a style manual before doing so. You take out commas for no reason and you don't understand how to use a semicolon. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.10.240.6 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 28 August 2006
[edit] Stop
No more editing until you gain some experience in editing, please! FWIW Bzuk 19:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC).

- Take a look at your edits on the last few submissions you have made. When you make what you describe as "minor" edits and they alter or change meanings or context then these edits have to be considered major revisions. Read more about editing and make small changes until you gain confidence in making what are unchallenged and inconsequential edits. I do not see any major information or referencing that you employ and consequently, your edits fall into stylistic commentary which unless it furthers the main thrust of the article, is often left in place but when the edits do not do more than "nit-picking" then the potential for constant reversions will arise. There are already a number of editors and admins that are observing your "MOA" so this comment is meant to be a gentle but well-meaning admonision to observe first, follow the carpenter's motto of "measuring twice before cutting once" and you will find the Wikipedia experience much more gratifying and fun.

[edit] Your edit summaries
It is usual to put some "useful" text in the edit summary box, rather than just the name of the article or ~~~~ (which is your signature for use on talk pages themselves, not edit summaries). If you use the edit summary box correctly, it will be of great assistance to your fellow editors. Thanks. -- MightyWarrior (talk) 20:03, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
