Hi, I'm your friendly cabal mediator, just to let you know that the mediation has been accepted I am just about to ask the other party to comment and then we can start building consensus on the talk page. :) - FrancisTyers 13:58, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Robert A. Heinlein

I reverted this edit; the reference is accurate. What did you have in mind when you removed it? -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 16:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

I've responded in more detail on Talk:Robert A. Heinlein. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 17:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi Dominic, the text below comes from a standard template, so it sounds a bit impersonal.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 18:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
