Conveyancing
Sorry, but I reverted your edit at Conveyancing. In fact, I used quite a pointed edit summary, but on checking it appears I may be totally wrong. I will briefly explain the problem to show you how mistakes like mine are, unfortunately, only to be expected. Wikipedia is subject to an enormous amount of exploitation and every day hundreds of external links are added to articles merely to promote the external website. That does not happen terribly often in law articles, but it does happen, and there are many cases where a new editor focuses on adding external links. Please check the article again and decide whether your edit adds encyclopedic information—if it does, please repeat the edit. By the way, we do not put any spaces or line breaks between the end of a sentence and the reference. Again, sorry for this rude introduction to Wikipedia but there is quite a lot of turmoil here. If you have a question you might try asking here or at WP:HELPDESK. Johnuniq (talk) 23:36, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Johnuniq thanks for the introduction! Being new to Wikipedia I got a bit carried away and started editing without reading the guidelines first.  I made external links to two websites and both were to UK quasi government sites which seemed reputable.  This was in order to provide references for the point I was making. I will have a read of the guidelines before amending articles again.  Hope you can see this message as I haven't read up on how to send and receive messages on here properly yet.  Sarah.

 * Yes I saw your message, although there was a fair bit of chance in that. There are ways of drawing people's attention, but it's best to not worry about technical details at first. I will mention one thing: I inserted a colon before your message, and two colons  before mine. That indents the replies. You can see that in the "history" at the top of this page. Open history in a new tab, then open the "prev" (previous) link next to my edit. That will show what I did. That's just to practise seeing diffs (differences). Happy editing!
