Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that you recently made an edit to You that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ... disco spinster   talk  04:08, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Ultrawiiufan,

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! It seems you're just getting started, so I'd like to say thanks for joining in! Sorry if I was a little mean in my edits; I was confused, but your explanation makes sense.

The main thing I wanted to fix in reverting your edits was the table - you were unfamiliar with the WikiTable markup (which is confusing sometimes!), and ended up breaking the whole bottom part of the page, because the tables ended up inside of each other and such. It seems you were more careful in your later edits, but if you want to know more about how to edit tables, you can read about them at the WikiTable page.

The rest of your edits are also trying to fix things, but when you're editing pages, keep in mind that whatever is there is there for a reason, and you should have a source to back up whatever you're editing. For instance, you went through the "Manufacturer" and replaced a bunch of "AtGames" with various other companies. I did some research, and while they are branded Sega or Atari, those consoles actually *were* manufactured by a company called AtGames that licenses old trademarks and manufactures new consoles. You can see a couple examples here and here). So in those cases, the *manufacturer* is actually AtGames.  AtGames doesn't have a page of its own (it did, but it was deleted because editors decided it wasn't notable or imporant enough to have its own page), but that doesn't mean the links should be removed.  There are other red links in the list that don't have articles, and that's okay.  If they eventually get created, they'll link properly.

Additionally, you changed "Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt" to just "Kombinat", which I assume was to fix the link, but if you read the Kombinat page you'll see that Kombinat is a generic term for a type of German Company, whereas Kombinat Mikorelektronik Erfurt was a specific German company. Your edit would be similar to replacing "Pepsi Company" with a link to just "Company". I've updated the link to point to the best reference to Kombinat Mikroelektronik Erfurt in the English Wikipedia - it's mentioned in a section on the "History of computer hardware in Soviet Bloc countries" page. It also has a page on the German Wikipedia, but since there was a decent mention on the English Wikipedia I linked there instead.

Sorry if my reverts seemed arbitrary. When you're editing Wikipedia, just keep in mind that what's there is there because someone else put it there, so it probably has a reason, and you should have a good reason for changing things, so you don't accidentally add erroneous information to your edits.

Oh, and when you leave notes on people's pages, use the "Signature" button to sign your posts, like this: --The Human Spellchecker (talk) 20:23, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
