 * Not a problem. We're all here to help. The links in the welcome message should help you in editing. Wikpedia follows certain protocols, and if you don't follow them, you can wind up in a little bit of hot water. Keep in mind, though, that anything do (such as mistakes) can be undone. So don't sweat it. Many misunderstandings can be handled simply by adding an edit explanation in the comments box. You may also leave more elaborate explanations on an article's discussion page. If you need any more help, just ask. BC (talk) 01:09, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 07:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I've responded to you on the article talk page. Something you should know is that there are a great many serving and ex-armed forces members who edit here. That is why Wikipedia articles on the Canadian Forces (and military articles generally) are of such a high quality. You seem to be feeling rather heated right now, and that is understandable. I can assure you I have been there many times. Best advice I've ever had on that score is: when the editing gets hot, take a break. Three days usually does it... Or edit articles in which you are not passionately involved. I've read your comments and would say that you need to remember that the RCAF lives on in the articles here and in the hearts of many who edit, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we insert it everywhere. If you state your case calmly and back it up with references, you will usually gain credibility. I hope you stick around long enough to discover that. Best wishes.
