Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to June 5, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here.

Thanks for your hard work updating NBA stats! Zagalejo ^^^ 02:41, 11 May 2012 (UTC) |
Sorry about those revisions.
Igloo tagged them as vandalism and I reverted it. Sorry for any trouble caused, I would be happy to help you with anything else you may need. Regards, Hghyux ( talk to me)( talk to others) 21:28, 11 May 2012 (UTC) |
Oh. They really should do something to Igloo - it does not make the right choices. The main thing is to just look at the edits first, and decide if it's vandalism or not. Igloo us consistent, but not always right (as in this case). TheBest Zebra 21:39, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to the pages you have edited does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. All the mistakes, anger, frustration and apologies could have been avoided had you used a meaningful edit summary. I admit that you are new and still learning so thats perfectly ok. Please take care in your future edits. Thanks! Ðℬig XЯaɣ 23:36, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
I see you're really spending a lot of time with edit summaries. :) It's certainly not wrong to provide so much info, but to save you some work, I think something simple like "updating stats" would suffice. Even without any edit summary, it should be clear to most observers what you are doing. Remember, the people who reverted you were in the wrong, not you. They acted hastily (especially since NBA statistics are very easy to check).
Also, I disagree with the user above, who says you should write "removed bold font". Something like that should be self-evident. The real value of an edit summary is to explain why you are doing what you're doing. Zagalejo ^^^ 00:56, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Writing as an editor, who can claim a one hundred per cent Edit summary performance, in this instance, I find myself supporting TheBest Zebra and Zagalejo.
Particularly, as I have done a lot of work on Rugby Union articles, but shied away from the statistic tables. TheBest Zebra deserves all the encouragement that could be given. An editor working so conscientiously must be encouraged. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 06:54, 14 May 2012 (UTC) POSTSCRIPT: May I refer you, Dbigxray, to the section immediately below this one which was posted last week. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 07:17, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
I have no idea what to say. I really don't. I barely have any idea of what this argument is about. I'm just a 10-year old! I'm just going to do what I keep doing, and I'll assume it's fine -- if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me. TheBest Zebra 21:39, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello again, Thank you for replying so courteously. The 'Template ' that I am referring to is under the Section header May 9 2012, higher up this page. It, and many others, are produced automatically when some editors revert other users. I prefer to modify/personalise them as appropriate, as I had done with yours, when I consider the standard wording too harsh.
I hope that is clear, is it? Kind regards, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones ( talk) 06:32, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
I've seen you around lately and I've noticed you're new and not that experienced. In case nobody's said it before, lots of people new to Wikipedia get adopted by a mentor so they can learn from an experienced editor. The relevant page is here. Happy editing!

Ha ha ... You are right. I noticed after clicking on Save page, but it was eleven o' clock here in the UK and I still had to walk my dog before retiring.

A tag has been placed on Vadim Basin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Vadim Basin. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. elektrik SHOOS ( talk) 21:46, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited 2008 NBA Playoffs, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Joe Johnson ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
