Please do not deliberately introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did at Michael V. Hayden. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. --tomf688 (talk - email) 18:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Behavior edit
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.
Avoid getting blocked. Use the Hayden Talk page to work on your contribution. It needs work before it is ready for the article. When people agree that it should be in the article, then it can be placed there. This is Jimbo's place - his rules. If you keep pushing it into the article they'll block you from doing any editing. Here are a couple of links that could help you to figure things out:
