By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;. Four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump.

Request for edit summary
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. – Ewlyahoocom 06:06, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Pages
Please don't blank pages that you want to delete. It causes us no end of grief here and with other Wikimedia projects. If you can, please use the   markup template on the page if you want to delete something from here. We will find the page sooner and be able to deal with the deletion without having to fight through other pages first.

Thank you, though, for trying to help make Wikibooks a better place. We do appreciate people like you trying to help find stuff that really doesn't belong. --Rob Horning 19:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
