Username

 * I submitted a username change request. Thanks! Uhlawschool (talk) 15:28, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]
 * Now that you have a new username, it is proper to remove this advisory. In fact, you may remove all or any of the advisories, or other messages on this talkpage.  See WP:OWNTALK.
 * On other peoples talk pages, however, do not change other peoples's comments. If you leave a comment on other talk pages, you can make minor corrections.  If you want to retract a comment, the nicest thing to do is use strikeout text.
 * And on the UHRSL page, you ought to add your "COI declaration" (the one you put on your userpage). If you will, I will remove the COI banner from the article page.

 * I added my COI declaration to the UHRSL talk page and removed the advisory. I can't thank you enough for helping me navigate this process. Happy Halloween!Es282 (talk) 18:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

edit summary user advisory
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to William S. Richardson School of Law. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. --S. Rich (talk) 21:15, 26 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Got it! Will do.  How do I add edit summaries to previous edits? Uhlawschool (talk) 21:31, 26 October 2011 (UTC)uhlawschool

Improper use of minor edit checkbox
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Numerous edits are incorrectly labeled as minor.--S.

 * Oops! I am new here.  What is the best way to address this?  May I recategorize the edits or add explanations?  Uhlawschool (talk) 21:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)Uhlawschool (I work at the Law School and chose this username because it is the same as our Twitter username.)


 * Don't know how to help. This is something for you to research. A change in username may be appropriate.
 * Also, when you add comments to talk pages, add a colon/s to the start of the next entry. Just like I did. That helps with the readability.  And add your username by typing 4 tidles ~ ~ ~ ~ (without spaces) --S. Rich (talk) 21:50, 26 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Got it! And I submitted the username change request. Uhlawschool (talk) 01:11, 27 October 2011 (UTC)Uhlawschool


 * Quick Question: I discovered that I cannot go back to add edit summaries. I also tried to Undo my edits, but received error messages. Is there a way to restore the article to what it looked like before I made my first edit so that I may re-edit it and add appropriate edit summaries?  I did find out that I can add edit summaries to "dummy edits." But before I do that, I wanted to check with you.  ;o)Es282 (talk) 18:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Not to worry. You're a new editor and we all go through the process. The edit summaries are helpful because they do explain why a particular edit is being done.  You can look at WP:G to see typical abbreviations used. (Examples: ce, cv, dab). When editors fail to leave an edit summary and we don't think the new material is correct, we can revert the edit based on the fact that they failed to explain the edit. No need to go back.--S.
