[edit] Useful tips

I would like to thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, 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. Thanks again.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- MightyWarrior 22:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit of Carl Andre

I reverted your edit in the article Carl Andre because it was of a speculative nature. I suggest that, if you don't know enough about the topic to give thorough factual information, you pose that question in the article's talk page. Hope this clears things up! If you have any questions, just leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you for your contributions! ~~ Meeples 19:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
