User talk:Red Link

Hi There
I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be having trouble using the editing box, and getting familiar with formatting. I highly suggest that you take a look at the Help:Contents page, and read the "Getting Started" page within. It should help you a lot, I know it helped me. If you have any further questions, please tell them to me or an admin at the respected talk page. (My talk page). 05:29, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Also if you start "Previewing" your edits, you'll flood the Recent Changes pages much less. 05:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Editing!
We have a very avid userpage editor in you! In case you didn't catch the comment above made by one of our admins here: Cheers!=) 22:00, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Previewing any changes you've made before hitting "Save Page" beneath the article editing window would immmensely help you in catching any small mistakes or unwanted sections that exist within the article before actually saving it. The "Show Preview" button is located right next to the "Save Page" button. It is your friend! And plus in the preview screen, you can edit the page as well.
 * 2) Also, another way to minimize the amount of minor edits that clog the Recent Changes tab is to label the edit as "minor", by clicking the "this is a minor edit" box next to "Save Page". Minor edits can be toggled visible or invisible on the Recent Changes tab, so by labeling something as minor, it can be toggled invisible so the larger edits can be seen more clearly. What distinguishes a minor edit from a regular one is at your discretion, however, I'd call anything from formatting and adding templates, to edits under 100 letters as minor.

A Few Things
I'm going to have to point out some things to you, some of which are going to be repeated, but seen as you haven't given anybody above an answer, these points are all justified.


 * 1) When in the editing box, before clicking save page, click show preview, and then continue to make all your edits in one save. Don't repetitively edit the page over and over.
 * 2) Personal userpages are normally where you can have your own space to tell other users who you are, and a bit about yourself. Writing it up as a semi-factual article is unorthodox. Of course, being your page, you can continue if you want.
 * 3) Lastly, you're going to need to explain this edit that you made, because without you doing that it appears to be vandalism, and that doesn't fare well for you.
 * 4) Wikis are communities, where people work together. If someone leaves you a message, especially staff, you will do your best to answer and improve the way you go about editing. Everyone is, after all, here to help. :) 22:37, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
