[edit] Edit Summary Request
I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini hablame aqui 07:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
- I often forget to do this, but I will try! 74.134.255.99 06:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- There's a Wikipedia "preference" you can set so that the encyclopedia will automatically remind you if your forget to fill in an edit summary. See the "my preferences" gizmo at the top of each Wiki page.

- That won't work for users without an account, however, will it? Only registered users have "preferences". --Dreaded Walrus t c 06:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
- Probably true. But that's yet another reason to register an account ;-).

[edit] Addition To 'The Way You Make Me Feel'
I note that you have removed an addition to the above article as superfluous. Having reviewed the entry I believe it fits perfectly and is relevant for inclusion. The Trivia entered is new and is clearly visible by anyone with said video. I would welcome your comments about this. Lukeyboyuk 20:08, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Patriots
Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:New England Patriots, you will be blocked from editing. Pats1 02:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean my reverts to your deletion of other users' comments on that talk page? Because I feel that I am following policy in reverting them, especially since you gave no explanation in your edit descriptions. Please let me know if I misunderstand "Blanking the posts of other users from talk pages other than your own, Wikipedia space, and other discussions, aside from removing internal spam, vandalism, etc., is generally considered vandalism."—a quote from Wikipedia:Vandalism, which you just linked above. 74.134.255.99 03:22, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:New England Patriots, you will be blocked from editing. Pats1 13:29, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
- I don't understand why you have given me a final warning for attempting to follow policy. Both of your warnings assume bad faith, although I explained above that I was attempting to right what I thought was a policy error on your part. I still don't see how the discussions you blanked from the Pats talk page were vandalism, and I certainly don't think me reverting those edits (per Wikipedia:Vandalism) could be conceived as vandalism, especially bannable vandalism. I even stated in my edit descriptions that I didn't understand why you were deleting them, and that I was reverting blanked discussion. But if it's easier for you to apply standardized, if severe, warnings than to explain your edits to me, well, I guess I have to sit here and take it. Such is wikipedia.
I didn't template you for what I thought was vandalism on your part, instead I hoped you would clarify your blanking in the edit description if you again found yourself blanking discussion page text. It should be noted, too, that my last edit (which you considered vandalism and for which you threatened blocking without asking me for any explanation) came before your explanation, and I wasn't going to make another edit to the page after reading your explanation. It would take good faith on your part to believe that, but I think you have it in you. 74.134.255.99 19:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
