Hi, thanks for your contributions. When editing pages, please note that many have important hidden "markup", such as referencing details. Some of your edits lost this hidden information, so they just became a hard-coded "[6]" (which is how it is displayed when reading the article) instead of " ". Please never copy and paste from the article 'as-viewed', for example to edit it offline in Word or a text editor, as this will not include this important markup. I have restored some of this information and you can see the differences I need to re-include here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boys%27_Brigade&diff=525540267&oldid=525532923. I'm afraid if this markup is lost in future edits, I will most likely just revert the full edit, as it takes too much time to restore the markup manually while keeping your other changes. I will post another 'welcome' message which has some helpful information you should read before contributing further. Halsteadk (talk) 14:36, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
