Your Recent Edits edit

Hi! First of all, I'd like to say welcome to enwiki! I have a suggestion for you and I hope you'll follow it. I help patrol for vandalism and it's a very tedious task that requires me to look at the recent changes on wikipedia. Every edit made on wikipedia shows up in the recent changes view and you have been making many edits to several pages. Making tiny edits one by one, like you did at janney coupler causes a flood of edits to show up in recent changes and interferes with the vandalism patrolling process. You can do most of the edits altogether and use the show preview button to see how your edits will change the page. Here's an image to show you what the button looks like:

 
The "show preview" button is right next to the "publish changes" button and below the edit summary field.

Thanks! Happy editing! ~ Philipnelson99 (talk) 05:12, 27 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

OK, will try to control my OCD and limit my tiny edits. Thanks! NBTwain (talk) 23:08, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

February 2019 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Janney coupler, appears to have been inappropriate, and has been reverted. Please feel free to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. We don't use backslashes instead of forwad slashes. Please read MOS:SLASH. David Biddulph (talk) 18:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

OK, did not know about the "no backslashes". WIll do! NBTwain (talk) 23:05, 15 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
