About show preview
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Katr67 (talk) 21:56, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

About edit summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Editing
Looking above, I see others have mentioned that etiquette calls for using the "Show Preview" button and using edit summaries. I want to re-emphasize this as your recent edits to Hillsboro Police Department demonstrate that you did neither. Using edit summaries helps other editors know you are not simply a vandal their to insert foul language or intentional errors. Some editors might not double check and simply blank revert your improvements, which ends up wasting everyone's time. Your editing looks doubly suspicious to those who fight vandalism as you have not set up your userpage, which most vandals also do not take the time to create a user page, while most regular editors do. With the show preview button, it allows you to see the changes you made and continue to make changes so that all your changes become one or two edits instead of 19 edits over about an hour. This helps Wikipedia in several ways, including reducing the load on the server and making it easier for those looking to fight vandalism. These are just a few little things you can do to help the community, which can come back to help you in the future when you may have questions. Happy editing and please let me know if you have any questions. Aboutmovies (talk) 06:54, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
