Signature

Hey there, Retromaniac! It be me again. I noticed you've been making a lot of edits to your signature in the talk page for The Fort Wayne Locomotive. If you want to learn how to customize your signature, go to HRWiki:Signature. For now, just user four tildes (~~~~) to sign your posts on talk pages. This will provide a link to your (currently nonexistant) user page. Oh, and another thing: you might want to use the Edit summaries more often. They make patrolling recent changes a lot easier for us. Keep on helping the Wiki! — Has Matt? (talk) 03:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Preview

Hey! Thanks for adding that fact to the DVD commentary for Ballad of The Sneak. I want to encourage you to use the handydandy "Show preview" button, though. That way you can avoid eight consecutive edits moving punctuation around and trying to get links to work. —AbdiViklas 00:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hip Hop

Please do not bring back a deleted page. Hip Hop does not have enough references in FCUSA to warrant a page. Plus, "Not Talkin' Bout Butter" is most definitely not a hip-hop song. ¤ The Mü _{Talk to me.} 22:38, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summary

Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. When editing a page, there is a field labeled "Summary" under the main edit-box. Please remember to always fill in the summary field, as even a short summary is better than no summary. Indicate in the edit summary field why you changed the page; this will greatly help other contributors in understanding your reasoning. Thanks.  Loafing 22:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC) (P.S.: This is especially important when you know that someone will disagree with your edit)

Dude, I really mean it. It's not very helpful to not use the summary.  Loafing 01:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Show Preview

Using Show Preview

Hello, and thanks for contributing to the HRWiki. 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. — Lapper (talk) 16:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
