Removing Content
Hi. When you are removing content from articles (other than obvious vandalism) it helps other editors understand what you are doing, and your reasons, if you use edit summaries. Without these your actions could be misconstrued as vandalism. Thanks. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 15:33, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

What Do I Do After Making A Revision?
I made a few revisions, which I believe to be valid, and cited them. They were themselves reverted. I have no idea what to do after making a revision on an article.

I have tried to read through the help pages, but I am still stuck. Can you please walk me through what to do? I also cannot find where to sign my name with four ~.

Thank you!


 * You don't say which article! I assume maybe Charles Darwin? Just raise the issue on the talk page Talk:Charles_Darwin as a new section, and end your text with  ~  - when you hit save it will turn the 4 tildies into a name/time/date stamp. If no reply after a while, ask the reverting editor to comment. FWIW I would not think that a ref like would go down well - when editing (I think) you should have a CITE button, when clicked you can select a book reference and fill in all the details - chapter, pages, isbn, author title, and it will format the reference properly (NB I hope you have a cite button - I think it's now turned on by default, but with so many skins and button extras it's had to know what a normal editor sees!) I'll leave the helpme, someone else my make other suggestions.  Ron h jones (Talk) 19:11, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
 * - that is to say, I replied at the same time as the user above. The way that Wikipedia works is described in WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. If you see a change that you think would improve the encyclopedia, be WP:BOLD and make it; but if it is then reverted by another user, do not simply make it again, which can lead to WP:Edit warring; instead, discuss it on the article talk page and try to reach a WP:Consensus with other editors. ("Editor" means the same as "user" - there is no superior class of "editors"). If you are unable to reach a consensus, there are WP:Dispute resolution procedures you can use.


 * The place to sign with four tildes is at the end of any contribution you make to a talk page (but not an article). The system will convert four tildes into a signature of your username and the time and date: like this: JohnCD (talk) 19:15, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
