Request

Its great to see someone devoting time to the mineral articles. I have just one request. Please, please, use the preview button until you have completed your edited to a page. This makes it a LOT easier for others who are watching the page, as they do not have to scroll through multiple edits to see what was happening as with Template:infobox minerals.--Kevmin (talk) 01:48, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
