Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. Grey Wanderer (talk) 04:52, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Missouri State University, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Grey Wanderer (talk) 23:16, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Missouri State University. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 04:33, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Slyder, I am not sure what the excuse is for this edit and its summary. It is a personal attack on another editor, it is not in accordance with the Manual of Style (shouting in all-caps), and it is in many ways incorrect: for starters, I made that edit, not Grey Wanderer. Next, there is really no such concept as "OPENING DAY enrollment figures", and since the numbers came out of a university publication, "official enrollment figures" is the proper phrase. While MSU may appreciate having an ardent fan, such attitudes (not neutral, and belligerent) are not productive to the Wikipedia project, and I urge you to exercise more caution. This is not the place for personal attacks, and if you continue them you might find yourself more strongly criticized or even blocked. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:59, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I see that Grey Wanderer has written Missouri State University System which should help clarify the issue--a productive way to deal with this complex situation. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:25, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
