Hello, I'm Nthep. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Thomas the Tank Engine that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Thomas the Tank Engine. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 22:11, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apostrophes

The spelling "Williams's" is not in fact an error. You may like to read this. However, the spelling you replaced it with isn't an error either, and is more consistent with the rest of the article, so I've left it as is. But please be sure to "correct" this only for the sake of consistency in future articles. garik (talk) 01:06, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I should add, by the way, that copyediting is certainly welcome in general, so please don't let my note discourage you from further small-scale edits (or larger ones). But I'd be wary of saying you're "correcting grammar" when that's not the issue; it can put other editors' backs up. The Wikipedia Manual of Style is a good read for the long winter nights if you're interested in knowing more about what Wikipedia does and doesn't approve of style-wise. garik (talk) 15:51, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
