User talk:Sct112569

Rather than outright deleting sections from your talk page, you might consider archiving them. Personally, I recommend using George Money's Auto-Archive tool. Works great. See User:Will Pittenger/monobook.js for a sample of what the script should look like in your monobook.js page.

BTW: If you try to follow the section link to my installation of the archive code, you may need to manually purge the page to get the section link to work. Sorry about that. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:54, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Message from jeffshantz
Hi. I've been cleaning up a lot of your edits lately. Here are a few tips:


 * In the Jeff Mitchell article, you removed the cleanup/unreferenced tags and replaced them with a single link to his NFL player page. This does not suffice -- you have to cite the sources for the claims that say "Citation Needed" beside them.  If you don't know how to reference, see the Wikipedia help.


 * You can't add personal opinion statements to articles. For example, you added a statement in the Don Blankenship article: "He is known for his arrogant and ruthless ways and his participation in politics".  That's your opinion.  You would not find that in an encyclopedia, and therefore you should not be putting it in a Wikipedia article.  Another example: the Walmart that opened in South Williamson, forcing many businesses to close.  If you can't prove it, then don't put it in.


 * Please use proper grammar and punctuation, and check your spelling.


 * In the South Williamson article, you added all kinds of demographic information, and then just left it there in a big blob. I had to put in section headers, and format it into paragraphs.  Don't leave a mess for others to clean up.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to help. You can post a message on my talk page.

One More Thing
I notice that everytime you edit a page, you generally save it at least 5-10 times. There is a Show Preview button right beside the Save Page button that will show you what your changes will look like without saving the article. Please use this as it lightens the load on the Wikipedia servers. Then, once you're satisfied with the changes you've made, you can use the Save Page button.

Don't remove warnings
You have removed several user warnings from your user or user talk page. These warnings are not put on your talk page to annoy you; they were placed here because other editors have noticed an issue with your behaviour that may require improvement. They are a method of communication and user talk pages stand as a record of communication with you. If you do not believe the warning was valid or have a question about improving your behaviour you can respond here or visit the help desk. If your talk page is becoming long, you can archive it in accordance with the guidelines laid out here How to archive a talk page. Thank you. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
