My apologies.
I removed several of your edits from Foolishness for Christ believing they were vandalism. After taking a closer look, however, I see that I misread your edits and should not have removed them. I reverted myself. I left a warning on your page, which I also removed - if you notice the warning in your history, please disregard it (I explained myself in my edit summary). Feel free to remove this message after reading if you wish. I am rather embarrassed, and I assure you that you have my sincerest apologies. Sleddog116 (talk) 00:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Sleddog116, no worries. I'm new to editing wikipedia. I thought it would be better to show each small edit, in case someone takes issue with any of them, but perhaps it would be better for me to make all of my edits in a Word document and then upload them all at once? Please let me know what you think. I'm in the process of researching holy fools and have been editing the page as I learn new things.


 * Making all of your edits in Word then uploading them all at once is (loosely) known as copy-editing, and it is very common on Wikipedia. (In fact, we have a Guild of Copy-Editors specifically for such a function.)  The important thing to remember is that any time you make a substantial edit, you should give a detailed edit summary, and if your edit is going to drastically change the article, it's sometimes a good idea to discuss it on the article's talk page first.  On the other hand, since WP encourages its editors to be bold, you can feel completely safe in boldly (but not recklessly) editing the article straight-away.  (If someone reverts your edits, however, it's usually a good idea to discuss them on the talk page before re-reverting - that's known as the bold, revert, discuss cycle.)  It looks like you've been adding quite a bit to the article - that's good, just make sure everything you add is reliably sourced and is not just your own interpretations.  Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any further questions!  (Again, my apologies.) Sleddog116 (talk) 01:15, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
