Mille Bornes
Thanks for your edits to Mille Bornes; they definitely improved the article. There are a few things you can do when editing that would be appreciated by other editors:
 * Make one big edit instead of repeatedly making small edits. This shortens the history, reduces the load on the servers, and makes it clearer what's going on.  You can use the preview button to see how things are going along the way.
 * Use edit summaries to describe your changes, so others can get an idea of what you're up to without having to look at the details of the change.
 * Read up on minor edits. Wikipedia has its own definition of the term, and removing the comparison to canasta, for example, would definitely not be considered minor.

Thanks again, and keep up the good work. Matchups 02:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

copyedits and refactoring talk page posts
Hi

Apologies, but I have to make you aware that "fixing" other peoples post on talk pages can be frowned upon WP:REFACTOR. While I appreciate that the ones I saw were changing from incorrect to correct grammar and spelling, the editor who's posts were changed may not appreciate it. "Other minor fixes (correcting other user's spelling or grammar is discouraged, but fixing obvious typos is generally acceptable)"

The second query is that changing to the serial/Oxford comma seems a little strange - can you tell me why you did that in some articles? Chaosdruid (talk) 19:06, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 15
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited My Fair Lady, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Henry Higgins. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for March 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Old Glory DC, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Miami Sharks. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
