Thanks for the message. A few questions: - Is it sufficient when reverting to leave the Edit Summary box as is? There is already information automatically filled in. - Similarly, when I'm logged in, don't my changes get signed automatically? (i.e. without including the Tildes). Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lightspeedchick (talk • contribs).

No, the system never signs your changes automatically; you have to do that yourself with ~~~~. It looks like you're doing fine with the edit summaries. When you're reverting simple/obvious vandalism, it's not necessary to fill in any details. For content changes, or when the reason for the edit isn't necessarily clear, you should try to explain it in the summary. If you want the system to remind you to always fill in a summary, you can go to "My preferences", click the "Editing" tab, and check on "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 00:14, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's some advice about how to warn people about their vandalism: Wikipedia:Vandalism. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 00:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem! Let me know I can help with anything else -- just click on the (talk) in my signature. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 00:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again...one more suggestion. When you post to talk pages, new comments should go to the bottom of the page, not the top. The easiest way to do that is to add a new message by clicking the "+" button at the top of the page. You can find more talk page suggestions here: WP:TALK. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 03:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thanks :) --lightspeedchick 04:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hiya.

Noticed your extremely impressive edit count from looking at Minda's Inky World's history - and a number of them seem to have come from new page patrol/speedy deletion. I recently discovered NPWatcher, and for any NP patroller, it's definitely worth a look. Since you have over 250 edits, you could try it out - you might be interested. Anyway, nice to see some more people keeping up the fight. Regards, --Wooty Woot? contribs 04:50, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

try noobsandwoot@hotmail.com. I haven't touched the Source engine with a 10 foot pole, but I've done plenty of mapping for Q3 engine and Alamo (Empire at War). -Wooty Woot? contribs 01:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPWatcher

I've added you to the list, you should now be able to run the program. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 21:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
