Test Editing
Hello, I'm Kethrus. An edit that you recently made to Escravos_GTL seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! -- Kethrus ///  Talk To Me   18:04, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Re: Your message on my talk page - Referring to Escravos GTL
I see, just try to make your edits more at once, as making multiple edits in a row (especially over 2-3 times) can look very disruptive, and if it was vandalism or you made a mistake - it would be harder to revert/change. Remember the 'Show Preview' button at the bottom is a great feature, and so is your sandbox (User:Mark Smedley/Sandbox) where you can edit as much as you like without disrupting others. -- Kethrus ///  Talk To Me   22:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Signing posts on talk pages
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you, and always remember to sign on talk pages! -- Kethrus ///  Talk To Me   22:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
