January 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, your recent edits to the 'Salem's Lot plot summary added a significant amount of unneeded detail and have been reverted. Please avoid excessive detail and high word counts when editing plot summaries/synopses. You are welcome to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and may read the plot summary edit guides to learn more about contributing constructively to plot summaries/synopses. There are also specific guidelines for films, musicals, television episodes, anime/manga, novels and non-fiction books. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 22:28, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Led Zeppelin IV, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Mlpearc powwow 00:41, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

My apologies if I've goofed, but I'm not sure what you're referring to. My only contribution to this particular article, to the best of my recollection, was the addition that the alternative Christian rock group P.O.D. has subsequently used John Paul Jones' symbol from Led Zeppelin IV (untitled). This was linked to the inside link for P.O.D. group. Thanks, Shawn

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Pierre of the Plains may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
