== Edit summaries ==

Now, I don't think a single episode of Strong Bad Email is that important. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is like a democracy (that elects presidents like George Bush). Popular masses rule.

Hi RickTommy. Your recent single-letter edit summaries on images (as well as some others in the recent past) are not descriptive of the edits you are making. Yes, I'm aware that put all together they spell "cleanup" backwards, but image summaries are for page histories first, and recent changes a distant second. Someone looking at [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=File:Homestar_Quicksand_MAM14.2.png&action=history a page history] 5 years from now is not going to have a clue what "u" means in this context. Please stick to just "Image summary cleanup" for these edit summaries and don't try to get creative. Thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:43, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

::So, edit summaries.  Yeah. Looking at your [[Special:Contributions/RickTommy|contributions page]] many of your edit summaries are blank with the exception of some the Image Summary cleanup edit summaries.  Being somewhat consistent with the Image Summary Cleanup summaries is good but edit help other editors know at a glance what it is that your edits are changing. So please be more diligent with your edit summaries to make things easier for other editors.  Thank you. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:44, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Hey man. Yeah...I know it's been a while but if feel really bad about the way I treated you way back then. I used to be Wasd98 in case you were wondering. I was 14 back then and really stupid. I wanted to make a difference on this wiki and I thought acting like a sysop or whatever would make that happen but I just ended annoying people and I'm truly sorry. You didn't deserve to be treated that way. Just wanted to patch things up. :) {{User:Rondleman/sig}} 01:16, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
