 * Hi, I thought you might like to look again at Brain Licker to see an example of citing sources etc. Especially when something is a bit bizzare, citing is important!  Also a good thing to use when starting articles is a Stub.  They make sure that things get loving care, instead of being forgotten in a corner.  Keep up the good stuff, welcome aboard, and click the little "t" after my name if you have questions! -  brenneman (t) (c)  13:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Literary present tense is the standard
Per your edits to the Shannon Rutherford Lost page, please refer to the discussion at Talk:Lost (TV series)/Present tense. Your edits have been reverted. -- PKtm 17:48, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Blanking talk pages
Please refrain from removing content from Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Danielle Rousseau (Lost). It is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. -- PKtm 17:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Speedy delete
I (or others) will be putting this page Danielle Rousseau (Lost) up for speedy delete immediately, as it already went through the AfD process. See Articles for deletion/Danielle Rousseau (Lost). Please do not add it again. -- PKtm 17:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Your new Lost articles
Please stop creating these, or at the very least, open up a talk page discussion prior to generating this much work for everyone else. As you are surely already aware from the talk pages, a great many Lost editors strongly disagree with the notion that minor characters in the series should have their own pages. Your creations have all been put up for AfD. Please don't create any more without discussion. Thanks. -- PKtm 22:03, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:Cindylost.jpg listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Cindylost.jpg, has been listed at Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Please do not tag images GFDL unless you created them yourself. This is a copyright violation. Chick Bowen 02:05, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Image:Edwardmarslost.jpg and Image:Artzlost.jpg have also been proposed for deletion. Seriously, you can't user the GFDL tag for copyrighted images.  Chick Bowen 02:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Edit summary
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Whomp 16:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
