[edit] Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] Citing sources
Hello, and thank you for your contributions. When contributing material to Wikipedia, please cite your sources so others can verify your work. For example, citing book, print, or reliable web resources demonstrates that the material is verifiable and is not the editor's opinion. Please see Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Reliable sources for more information, or contact me on my talk page. Perfecto 04:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Warning
It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Newton North High School. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --NauticaShades 11:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Second Warning
Please do not remove content from Wikipedia, as you did to Newton North High School. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --NauticaShades 12:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Derugen
Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Derugen) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

[edit] Speedy deletion of The Lords of the Underworld
A tag has been placed on The Lords of the Underworld, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NigelJ talk 11:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
