Thank you for your contributions to modulus. Since you are new, a good habit to cultivate is putting an edit summary (think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email). Enjoy! Oleg Alexandrov 02:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Edit summary
[edit]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. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:56, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
Raccoon Butterfly Fish.
[edit]For starters, sorry about running against your edits, lol. (Had no idea you were working the article also. I just located another article on wiki about the topic: Raccoon_butterflyfish That is why I blanked the page I worked last night. I didn't know there was another on wiki about the same species.Rookie Rover 04:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
No problem---I was just patrolling the recent changes for possible vandalism...looks like I was mistaken. Sorry about the confusion.Ankur 04:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, at this point I don't know how to proceed. Should the article I wrote be replaced with a reirect to the other article, or just blank it? I apologize as I'm not an experienced editor (the fish article is my first, and possibly my last!!!) I'd think redirecting it to the other article would be the best thing, as the other article is more clear and concise. Also, having seen what kind of article I can put together, would you care to comment on my talk page about improving my work? Thanks, TJ. Rookie Rover 04:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
I would merge your article into the existing one, and then redirect yours to that. By the way, I'm by no means an experienced editor either. Ankur 05:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! I didn't know how to handle that situation at all! Happy Editing! Rookie Rover 06:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
