	Hello LikeAsItself, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges\|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)		Hello LikeAsItself, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button.

		+	:I did have an uneasy feeling about using that sandbox, but the instructions on it insisted that I use the "Save Page" button. Since you seem to disagree with that policy, perhaps it would be worth looking into having those instructions changed. Anyway, it seems like a design flaw that editing the sandbox should even show up in recent changes and user contributions. [[User:LikeAsItself\|LikeAsItself]] 01:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

	Hey, LAI. Weclome to the wiki. I read your user page and had a look at your edits. I don't think it's as bad as you think. Of your three edits, one is still up (and will definitely stay), one was reverted, but I can't see any rudeness or vindictiveness in that [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=hygiene&diff=next&oldid=493331 edit summary]. And one was an edit that I believe touched a strongly debated topic (but I was too lazy to see how and if it was actually reverted). So yeah, don't get discouraged if some of your edits get reverted. We're actually quite a nice bunch of people. And please keep being bold and make those edits that you think are right. Also, nobody will edit your user page, we have a strict policy about that somewhere. Keep on tranglin'!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)		Hey, LAI. Weclome to the wiki.

	I see no one's officially welcomed you yet, so, welcome! In response to what you wrote on your user page, I have a few things to say. Usually when somebody deletes a comment you put on the page, they will put a reason. People who don't put a reason or put a rude reason are usually new users or just simply forgot to put a reason. Usually, when an experienced user forgets to put a reason, they immediately or shortly afterwards post a comment on that page's talk page. Check there if someone doesn't put a reason. If they don't, you can politely post a comment of your own on the talk page or on the user's talk page asking why your fact/comment got deleted. If someone posts a rude reason, somebody else might tell you why it got removed in a more polite manor on the talk page or on your talk page (which is this page right here). If they don't, post a comment on the talk page of the article. And finally, it is considered vandalism to edit other people's user pages unless it's something like fixing a typo or the MediaWiki coding.
