	Hi StarFox. I wanted to encourage you to make full use of the edit summary feature. It makes it really hard to see what is going on in a page's history without having to individually tread through every edit and it makes it harder to gague what the intention behind your edits are. This makes the overall job of maintaining the wiki a little bit harder. So even a small brief comment describing what you're doing in every edit goes a long way. Thanks! --[[User:Stux\|Stux]] 17:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)		Hi StarFox. I wanted to encourage you to make full use of the edit summary feature.

I'm glad you're making the effort of getting to know how the wiki works (and apologizing for not using Show Preview; lots of people make that mistake, so don't worry about it too much ^_~), and I hope you stay for a long time.

	::Mr. McCloud, Just to reiterate (and I don't want this to seem like the community is yelling at you): every single edit you make (every time you hit the '''Save Page''' button) logs an edit into our Recent Changes Page. By making multiple small changes to the same page (instead of using the Show Preview button) you do three real disservices to the wiki. First, you flood Recent Changes, thereby kicking out other changes off of the 30 that usually display, meaning contributors have a harder time finding edits that go against firm held consensus. Second, you make the job of the Recent Changes Patrol (which I sometimes feel like the only member) much harder. The RCP exists to check every single edit to check for Spam and the like (and is actually the reason some edits have orange exclamation points next to them on your Recent Changes log.) Third, you may actually be burying where the RCP and other editors can't find it or have a harder time reverting it.		::Mr. McCloud, Just to reiterate (and I don't want this to seem like the community is yelling at you): every single edit you make (every time you hit the '''Save Page''' button) logs an edit into our Recent Changes Page.

	Hi. I noticed you had to edit the same page at least 4 times in a row. I would like to reccomend that you use the "show preview" button located next to "save page". Since it does not close the edit window, it saves the time usually spent repeatedly clicking "edit" and then "save page", and prevents flooding of [[Special:Recentchanges]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 22:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)		Hi.
