Edit summaries
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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- JHunterJ 00:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Nominating an article for deletion
Hello, you wrote asking how to start a deletion discussion for the Tim Ireland article. If you wish to nominate an article for deletion, there's a very good set of instructions at WP:AFD. Do please read the section "Before nominating an article for deletion", and if you still wish to proceed, follow all three steps at "How to list pages for deletion" immediately beneath. I've not followed this process myself, and if you have further queries, I recommend the WP:HELPDESK as the clearing house of all Wikipedia knowledge. CJPargeter (talk) 10:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletionists
Saw some of your edits and deletes you reverted. Deletionists can be very annoying - hard to tell them apart from vandals trolls or griefers - but just wanted to advise you that they do not always fully read the rules. For example TRIV and very often they will delete without going through the stages of asking for citations or trying to merge content into a more appropriate places. Hope this helps. -- Horkana (talk) 03:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, very annoying and a lot of them about. Reverted again (after a month away) but it'll likely be 5mins tops before it goes back. What would you advise me to do? The list on the article The Word (TV series) has some really interesting stuff in it. The deletionist says they are all unsourced but how can one wikify a long-gone TV series? I watched them all and saw all of the incidents mentioned... Help me - this place seems to be awash with destrutve editors... Magpie1892 17.59, 4 Dec 09.

Reverted the deletionist (see below) and it lasted 10 minutes. Any advice? Magpie1892 18.17, 4 Dec 09.

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to The Word (TV series). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. magnius (talk) 18:18, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
