Maybe you could still ease up on people a bit with your summaries...things like "Holy crap, dude. Tha is about the worst reference to anything I've ever seen being added to a page. Wow. Just, wow." probably aren't encouraging them to be active members in the community. Either say something nice or don't say anything at all. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 20:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

If you're not sure why something is the way it is, it's best to just leave it alone or ask somebody first rather than blindly making inappropriate changes.

I can't quite fathom why you would tell someone something that was {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk:FAQ&diff=637045&oldid=637004 completely untrue}}, and then insult them for even asking. Please do some research before answering a question like that, or stay off those kinds of pages. Thanks. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

== Image summary cleanup ==

Hey there, I noticed you started doing some summary cleanup. I'm impressed, you seem to understand what the project is about, and you're doing very well. Just a reminder, I noticed that in a couple of places you forgot to add headers, or parentheses around "from [[Toon]]" or whatever minor things, so if you could go back and check those things, I'd appreciate it. Also, after you've done a second check on them and it all looks good, feel free to mark them as done on my cleanup sheet (ask me for help if you don't get how, the template is kinda tricky). I'm glad you found something useful that you're good at that will really help the wiki, so I just wanted to say "thank you" and keep up the good work! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

:Thank you so much for the thanks. I would use the template for marking it as done, but [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] restricted my IP address from editing user namespaces. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 23:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

::Hey Michael. I moved all the image summary cleanup pages into the project namespace so you can edit them. See [[HRWiki:Image summary cleanup]], etc. You're doing a good job. A quick note though: Don't forget to write your edit summaries so that they make sense in the page history, not {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Image:blubos.png&diff=637828&oldid=549991 recent changes}}. Keep on tranglin'. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

::::I had forgotten about this when i wrote my first comment here. Just to be clear, the things to watch out for are listed on the project's page, so if you check each item on each image you clean up, we'll get those images cleaned up faster than you can say "(insert entire works of shakespeare here)" (yes, i know it's long, but there's a fweakin' lot of images!)

== Imitating rollback ==
+
-
The rollback wording ''("Reverted edits by X; changed back to last version by Y")'' should not be used for {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Coach_Z&diff=647027&oldid=647024 good-faith edits}}. [[Wikipedia:Help:Reverting#Rollback|Wikipedia's advice]] is appropriate here: "Rolling back a good-faith edit, without explanation, may be misinterpreted as 'I think your edit was no better than vandalism and reverting it doesn't need an explanation'." If you're going to imitate rollback when you revert an edit, please do so only in cases of blatant vandalism (not when there is any doubt). Thanks. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

== user page ==

Why did you remove everything?  Your user page was awesome.  I suggest putting that announcement at the top in bold, and leaving a few lines before the good stuff is back.  Just a suggestion.  {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 06:58, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

:You know what? I think I'm calling that off. I'm back again! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 14:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

::You know, the second "v" in "rv/v" stands for "vandalism". When you are reverting anything that is not vandalism, you can just put "rv" in your edit summary. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 14:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

:::I know that, but me blanking my own page was considered vandalism in my eyes. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 14:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
