Preview button
In case you've not tried it yet, you can use the "Show preview" button next to "Save page" to show how your edit will look - using this prevents recent changes and the article's own edit history from getting clogged up with repeated, incremental edits. --McGeddon (talk) 23:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

It'd also be helpful if you provided brief edit summaries when altering an article. Thanks for the hard work on the Day of the Dead article, all the same. --McGeddon (talk) 14:33, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Please try to do both of these things; the links give an explanation of why it's a good idea. The "Day of the Dead" article had 58 edits yesterday; 51 of them were yours, many within minutes of each other, and none of your edits had comments. Your actual contributions are great, and it's great to see the film getting the attention it deserves, but the rapid-fire, unexplained re-editing makes it harder for other (and future) editors to keep track of what's going on. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 13:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Day of the Dead (film)
I see that the stuff was added twice by two different IP's> I think that all of you need to discuss it the talk page. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 17:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Album cover
If you have an image of the album cover (or can find one online that isn't watermarked), you can upload it to Wikipedia at Upload, and then edit the album article's infobox to include it. It's acceptable to use a copyrighted album cover for the purposes of illustrating an article about that album. --McGeddon (talk) 16:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The word "tangential"

Keeping cool
Regarding this edit; you should try to keep your cool when dealing with other editors, for everyone's sake. Capslock-shouting "FOR CHRIST" at someone will make them less likely to respect your opinions and collaborate alongside you, not more. --McGeddon (talk) 14:41, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
