Please don't routinely add whitespace to articles you touch in the manner of changing ==Heading== to == Heading ==. There's nothing in the manual of style recommending a change like that and it makes it harder to see what else you're changing. You also shouldn't add links to dates as a matter of routine. Also, please don't take bullet points out of comments and add them to the article elsewhere. [1] Also, please don't remove redlinks as a matter of course. Haukur ( talk) 10:05, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

another issue You're marking all your changes as minor and not stating what changes you have made. This is not polite to other editors, as people watch the pages to make sure they don't get vandalised.

Thank you for your contributions to
Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an
edit summary for your edits. Thank you. It is considerate to those who are following the articles you edit, as well as to other editors who are trying to gain a sense of what you are doing with your (prolific) edits.

Hello, when you have some time please have a look at WP:MOSDAB (disambiguation pages) and WP:MINOR (minor edits); some of your changes are not appropriate for the English WP, such as this one (it's not a minor edit, and it's not proper format or order). Also note that you can set your account preferences to be automatically notified if you forget to provide an edit summary. Have fun editing. 62.147.36.230 ( talk) 20:30, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I'm interested in adopting you. Now, I don't speak Dutch, so if you don't want me because of this, I don't mind.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar! I just popped by to check how you're getting on. I've been a bit hands-free, but you appear to be getting on fine. Now, bots are defined as "programs or scripts that make automated edits without the necessity of human decision-making" (from WP:BOT), and that doesn't appear to apply to you. My advice is to ignore 82.171.95.220 - weebiloobil ( talk) 12:41, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Please don't alphabetize things just for the sake of it. E.g. on Source, the order of things seemes well thought out, with e.g. in the section "Print" links to the term put before unlinked items and so on. Alphabetical order is not superior to other orders and conveys no meaning. You also added a second bluelink to the link about the song by Built to Spill, even though the disambig guideline says to only have one bluelink per entry. Similarly, on Wikipedia:Reliable sources, you changed the order of the see also section to alphabetical, even though it was quite clear that the RS noticeboard was deliberately and logically put in first position.
In your last edit, you e.g. changed "Occupational Therapy Department" to " Occupational therapy Department", with a different and incorrect capitalization. Furthermore, in the external links, you cahnaged from a descending importance / closeness order to the alphabetical order.
Such mechanical edits are rarely needed and often have unwanted results. Please stop or at least be a lot more careful before continuing. Only edit when you are really improving articles, not just for the sake of it. Fram ( talk) 10:20, 26 January 2009 (UTC).

I have nominated Solar System for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status.

As noted in that earlier comment above... I don't think I can agree with alphabetizing See alsos as a general rule for articles. Sure, it's fine if there truly is no sensible order and the links are just a pile of related articles. But many times, there is a method to the madness. In the See also for Revolt of the Comuneros, for example, the Italian War of 1521-26 is far less important than the others, while the first articles listed in the See also are a direct spin-off of the article, then followed by some loosely connected wars. SnowFire ( talk) 22:24, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Re: this edit [2], and in particular your edit summary. The simplest approach is probably to activate popups in your Preferences, and then to use the revert option while viewing the article history and having chosen the correct version to revert to. BTW, I've requested semi-protection for the article at RFPP. Best wishes. Philip Trueman ( talk) 11:21, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm just letting you know that the edit where you converted the notable people section of the Cheadle Hulme article has been reverted. Wikipedia encourages lists in articles to be converted into prose for better flow and style. Happy editing, Nev1 ( talk) 13:23, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Except it doesn't make better flow and style. Instead of an easy-to-scan list, there is just an unreadable morass of blue links. I'm not aware of any consensus or MOS guideline for the above. If this has changed recently, please point to it. Ty 12:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Per this edit, [3] there is no need to remove a blank space under a heading. It is optional and makes no difference to the screen appearance. A space makes it easier to find the heading in the edit box. Also per WP:MOSIMAGES a left-aligned image should not appear under a level 3 === heading or lower. Ty 12:58, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Galoubet,
thanks for your input. Basically it´s a good idea to start the article with an image of a Frescography. I will look around if I find some. Since it seems now after your edit that the article starting with the image "the wild of the southern sea" (which is actually a wood block print) would be an article about that print method rather than the frescography I just undo your edit. Thanks -- Misterneu ( talk) 17:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Molecule Man (art). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Molecule Man (art). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
