Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! Biker Biker (talk) 09:45, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

"Edit summaries"
Hi Huggy Patch, and again welcome to Wikipedia!

When you make changes (in Wikipedia jargon, "edit") Wikipedia's pages (Wikipedia jargon, "articles") it's a good idea to use "edit summaries". These let other people know what changes to an article you have made with an edit.

Let me know if you have any questions at all.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:46, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops! Or to put it more precisely, what Biker Biker said.--Shirt58 (talk) 09:48, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Marking your edits as punctuation is incorrect if all you are doing is changing double spaces to single spaces. Wikipedia, like any tool which renders to HTML, does not care about double spaces so your edits are in fact utterly pointless. If you are making actual punctuation changes then that is fine, but otherwise please stop making pointless changes to the encyclopaedia - it just wastes other people's time. --Biker Biker (talk) 09:53, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

 * I use a mainframe at work, and so I put double spaces at the end of sentences "on-wiki" by force of habit. As Biker Biker said, the software just ignores 'em.--Shirt58 (talk) 10:16, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
