Edit summaries
You're doing great work on UCLA, but can you consider using edit summaries? There's information on them here: Help:Edit summary. Thanks... &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 00:38, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello Alf laylah wa laylah,


 * Thanks for the advice. Actually, I am already using edit summaries for non-trivial edits to the UCLA article. Please refer to the history page for the UCLA article to observe my edit summaries. FlopsyPlum (talk) 00:50, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to University of California, Los Angeles, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you.  Corky  |  Chat?  21:38, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello Corky,


 * Yes, I do use the Preview button before I save.


 * FlopsyPlum (talk) 21:42, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
 * My point was make all of the edits you are making in as few edits as you can. Constantly hitting the save and going to a new section fills up the history page like it says.  Corky  |  Chat?  21:51, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Okay, makes sense.
