Hi, you sent me a welcome message because I edited a page without being logged in, apparently I was using IP 79.221.216.238 - my current provider doesn't give me a permanent IP. Anyway, you have stimulated me to create an account. My practice so far has been just to change trivial stuff like spelling if I happen to come across such a mistake - stuff that apparently I should have been marking as minor edits. I expect I'll not do anything more significant anyway, though as a registered user I might get a little bolder. Jimwroberts (talk) 14:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your reply. You can only mark edits as minor if you're a registered user. Happy editing! Xn4 14:24, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
