Hey there. I assume you're the [[Special:Contributions/97.121.71.81|annony]] from earlier today? I appreciate the work that you did on [[Which Ween Costumes?]], and I'm sure the rest of the wiki does as well. However, you gave no indication whatsoever that you had claimed the entire transcript. It especially bothers me that you no doubt came across an edit conflict with mine that had the {{t|sectioninprogress}} template transcluded (after all, <code><nowiki>{{sectioninprogress|Soiled Bargains}}</nowiki></code> should not seem elusive to the average computer literate such as yourself), and yet continued to save work for that section. I admit, I was in a rush to help out however I could. But that does not take away from the fact that you offended me greatly by continuing to edit a section I had officially claimed. It was even more embarrassing for me to back down in awkwardness, seeing that you had already done the transcripts that I was working on... until I was faced with this situation and wasn't sure what to do. I had every right to overwrite your edits. Every single right. However, I decided to make myself look like a fool and let your errors in judgment fall through the cracks. Please, respect other users on this wiki and what they are trying to do to help out. You might also want to pay attention to the [[Special:RecentChanges]] page more often, as well as reading our [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards on editing]]. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 22:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello MustardDog, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 00:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Using Show Preview

Hello MustardDog, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 00:28, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
