Hi there, in your edit summary to this edit on James Collins (Sports Nutritionist), you stated "(I don't have any articles to link to it (So can't fix the orphan problem)." Well, if you can't fix the orphan problem, you don't remove the orphan tag. It's left until the problem has actually been fixed, meaning when the article is no longer an orphan. I don't understand why editors who create articles get offended when an orphan tag is added, It just means that no other articles link to it and it's there so other editors know the problem exists and needs to be addressed. If you have not already read WP:Orphan, I would suggest taking a few minutes and reading the policy, and you might have a better understanding of what you are dealing with here.

 * Response: Hi there. I apologise for this. I am very new to this and am learning along the way. I did not get offended I just did not know so i do apologise and I actually appreciate all the help you have given me with the article. So thank you for putting it back and pointing me in the right direction. I appreciate your help. I hope this message sends to you as I am not great with understanding how I respond back to you.

Hi again, when you lave a message on your talk page like this, it doesn't get sent to my talk page also. You would have to add the info to mine also, but that's no problem with me because I always check back and see if a response was left on your page. Actually, a lot of editors prefer that the conversation be left in one place like this. I just wanted to mention that when you leave a message on a talk page, that you should sign your message so it's easy to see who left the message and where the next message begins. This is done by adding four tildes ( ~ ~ ~ ~ ) at the end of your comment, but without the brackets or spaces. It just makes discussions easier to follow. Cmr08 (talk) 22:06, 2 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay thank you so much for helping me out. again i apologise if I angered you with the previous edit. I am new and learning all the time so hopefully i get this right with adding what you mentioned. and hopefully I learn something new. Many thanks Adammorris1989 (talk) 22:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Why would you think I was angry with you because of your message? Your message thanked me for helping you, and in my reply I mentioned that it was ok to respond here, so I obviously wasn't upset about that. I was just letting you know about the signing of posts for future reference since you didn't know about the signing part. Oh yeah, as for the offended comment above, I was not actually talking about you or any particular editor being offended, I was just commenting that I have run into editors who take offense to the orphan template because they don't really understand the term 'orphan' in this manner. It was awkwardly worded, and I thought I removed it before saving, but missed it. If you have any questions or need advice on anything, just leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll do what I can to help. Cmr08 (talk) 03:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Wait a second, you can ignore most of what I wrote in my previous message because I think I completely misunderstood what you meant in your message. When you mentioned the part about me being angry, I thought you meant being angry after your previous message, but after reading this again, I now think you were talking about your previous edit to the article. Is that what you meant? You are only a new editor here, and from my own experiences I can say there's no way to learn everything in 6 years, let alone a few days. Your edit was clearly made in good faith, so there is no reason for me or really any other editor to become angry over an honest mistake. I've been editing for 6 years and have made over 25,000 edits, but still learn something new everyday. Don't let this bother you, it takes time, but you will get the hang of it.
