Minor edits

Hey there, and welcome to Wikipedia! I just noticed a few of your changes to Watership Down and other articles and I wanted to let you know that you should only mark your edits as minor when they specifically fall under the criteria found at Help:Minor edit: the rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content. Again, it's not a big deal, but it's a general rule of etiquette that I thought you'd want to be aware of.

Other than that, though, you seem to be making positive changes, so thanks, and again, welcome! Mr. Absurd (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing: I just noticed that you moved a period inside a quotation mark. I know that's proper punctuation in some places, but Wikipedia generally places punctuation outside of quotation marks if it's not part of the actual quote (see the Wikipedia Manual of Style for details). This isn't at all meant as an attack, just a friendly note so you're aware. Keep up the good work! Mr. Absurd (talk) 19:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Guess I didn't read the style guidelines carefully enough -- thanks for pointing that out. I see the logic behind putting punctuation outside quotes, but ... yuck, it sure is ugly. Bthoenen (talk) 19:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
