WP:ENGVAR
Hi. Please take a look at this policy, which basically says don't change from one variety of English to another without good reason to. In the case of Lincoln Square (Manhattan) your change of "Lincoln Center" to "Lincoln Centre" is especially inappropriate, as the subject is American, and therefore American English spelling should be used, and Lincoln Center is the actual spelling used by that institution.

I just reverted your edits to this page, because I have no idea why you made them.

When formatting, adding extra lines below a section is not advised because the effect is different on screens of different proportions. If your screen is of wide but shallow format, then most older articles that have been formatted on narrower screens will look rather cluttered. The solution is to reduce the width of your viewing page, rather than viewing in full-screen.

Alternately, if the article suffers badly from clutter, you can add a Break.

 * Also, since you have been around for quite a while, it's time that you started using Edit summary like other serious editors. Amandajm (talk) 04:17, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Napoleonic Task Force
Hi,

The listing of yourself as "re-founder" of the Napoleonic Task force has been opposed and reverted for good reason. MilHist project is a long-standing collaborative project, and as such we do not have leaders, founders, etc. Only coordinators, who, as indicated, coordinate the project for a fixed term by nomination process, but do not found or lead anything. All discussions regarding task force activity should be centralised on the Milhist pages, where they can be centrally monitored and archived, and not through a regular usertalk page. We would appreciate if you would discuss your plans through the available channels at MilHist rather than adopt a non-existent title, and draw attention to an inappropriate page, otherwise this complicates matters as to who manages what and the project loses cohesion. Thank you.  Ma &reg;&copy; usBr iti sh &#91;chat] 04:31, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
