Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Lawrence O'Donnell. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. Scjessey (talk) 11:34, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

August 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. CutOffTies (talk) 00:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto above, plus, it will be easier for you and your co-editors to collaborate on articles if, instead of making multiple consecutive edits in rapid succession on an article, you use the "Show preview" button to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits. Thanks in advance for considering this. Eric ^talk 17:26, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

re Lake Dolores Waterpark

Great typo catch here. That's the kind of thing no spellchecker will ever catch, so thanks, it's appreciated. Herostratus (talk) 06:34, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Leadville, Colorado, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Silver Dollar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

User pages

Hello Rontrigger—

I can't complain too loudly about your recent edits to my draft article on the 1990 Nebraska gubernatorial election. In fact, I'm very glad that you caught my confusing Bob Martinez with Mel Martinez, the more so since that's an error, and an embarrassing one, that I might very well not have found before launching the article in mainspace.

However, I'd have preferred that you leave a note at my talk page telling me that you'd found errors in the draft and asking if you could correct them. WP:NOBAN gives me the impression that this is the preferred approach called for by Wikiquette. Your edits were all useful and constructive, but those of other editors might conflict with my own plans for the development of the draft; and I'd rather develop it according to my own plans, at least until I release it from userspace and it becomes the world's to edit.

That said, thanks again for catching my mistakes, especially the Martinez mixup. Out of curiosity, how'd you find it? Were you working on Mel and did a what-links-here that turned up my userpage, or did something else lead you there? Ammodramus (talk) 12:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I sympathize with your ancient-computer problems; I enjoyed a power failure just this morning while I was entering a bunch of data on another website, and had to try it again when I could get to a place with a more reliable wireless connection.

As I said, your edits were very useful ones, and I'm glad you caught my mistakes before the article went to mainspace. Which will probably take a while: the current stage of research involves going through microfilmed back-issues of the Omaha World-Herald, and I can only do about half a month at a time before the bleeding from the eyes becomes a problem. One day, however, I hope to get the article launched. Ammodramus (talk) 00:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Burns edits

Hi Rontrigger, I went ahead and reverted your edits to Steve's bio again, as per WP:CONTRACTION. I should have included an edit summary to explain, so my apologies.

Rolntrigger, Actually, I was thanking you for all of your edits, but I did not want to be repetitive. Have at it. These two articles are among my 'offspring,' and I am grateful for another set of eyes and a helping hand. If you need to confer, please let me know. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:46, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
