Grand Central Terminal

[edit]

Hi, somehow, your edit to Grand Central Terminal disrupted the infobox, so I had to undo it. Please feel free to re-add the info, though; just be sure not to disrupt the formatting. (if you use the preview function, you'll be able to see the results of your edit before submitting it) Thanks! --Badger151 (talk) 06:03, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those info boxes at the top of articles can be tricky. For myself, I just always use the preview function (click the "show preview" button to the right of "save page" when you're editing). Unfortunately, some of the changes don't manifest until you save the page (inline citations are an example) so I also take a quick look at the page once I'm done.
If you need to undo an edit (whether it's yours or someone else's (e.g. a vandal's) the easiest way may be through the page's history. Above the page title you've probably noticed a series of tabs - for articles the first tab is marked "article", the second is "discussion", the third is "edit this page, and the fourth is "history". The "discussion" tab brings you to the article's talk page, where editors discuss major or poteintially controvertial changes, and other article-related items. The "edit this page" tabe of course allows you to edit the page as a whole, and is the only way to edit the page header (the portion above the first heading). Clicking "history" shows you the page's history. Every saved change to the page is shown, in reverse chronological order, with a typical entry looking like

(cur) (prev) 18:32, 23 March 2010 Badger151 (talk | contribs) (108,511 bytes) (→Construction: rm note) (undo)

Clicking on "cur" will display the differences between that version of the page and the current page. Clicking on "prev" shows the changes between that edit and the previous version of the page. The date and time of the edit follow; clicking on them will show you the page as it was after that edit. The username of the editor making the edit follows, with links to that editor's talk page, and to a list of that editor's contributions to Wikipedia. The size of the page, in bytes, follows, and then comes the edit summary left by the editor. Finally, there is "undo", which, if clicked, will undo that last edit. Hope this helps. --Badger151 (talk) 00:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
