Up and Bourne Summaries
Hey, just wanted to drop by and welcome you to Wikipedia and to give you some advice. You're edits are pretty good so far but one thing that is frowned upon is the amount of edits. It's typical to see something that needs to be changed, only to miss something and catch it 2 minutes after. The Up plot summary, for example, has about 10 edits in a row with only minor alterations in each. The best way to edit, if you only make small alterations then return to it, is to preview your edits or take them into the Sandbox. This way you can look over the summary several times and make alterations, having only to then save one or two edits after testing. Also, it's probably wise to include the reasoning for the edit in the Edit summary box. People, such as myself, monitor pages for vandalism and a string of edits with no summary can be a red flag for some.

If you have any questions feel free to ask! (Deftonesderrick (talk) 18:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC))
