[edit] Minor edits

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --Icarus ^(Hi!) 04:27, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I will be sure to do this in the future. Ratinabox 15:16, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

Hi! I got your message, and I would be happy to help you with your editing (Wiki can take some getting used to, I made loads of mistakes at first). I've looked over some of your contributions and it looks like you're off to a good start, especially with references. Feel free to ask me about anything you're having difficulty with, I check my watchlist and messages at least once a day so my replies should be swift. Regards, --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 12:19, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Great! I don't think I have stepped on too many toes as yet and hope to keep it that way :)
