- Thanks for experimenting with the page Texas Revolution on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. -- xaosflux Talk/CVU 05:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- BOLD editing is encouranged, but please look at what you are removing, article categories help link them to other articles, encouraging more editors, and leasing readers to helpful related articles. xaosflux Talk/CVU 05:57, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- Please do not remove content from Texas Revolution. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:18, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- While copyediting an article is fine, removing large chunks of text the way you're doing it is not and may be considered vandalism. Please refrain from doing that without previous discussion in the article's talk page. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 18:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

- Use edit summaries. If you don't discuss your changes and just blank large sections of text people will think you're vandalizing. The warnings above were not just to give you reading material.
- I'd suggest you keep your tone civil when talking to other people. We are not here to put up with anyone's bad humour. I'm specifically referring to your comment "Have you even read the article I wrote, and compared it to that horror you keep re-posting?" in my talk page.
- This is not the Black Hawk War article. Here you had two people telling you deleting content is no good without explanation. That should have given you a hint that maybe your edits were being disruptive. In fact, I'd still very much like to know to which specific articles you moved the content you deleted. Specially the sections on "Goliad Massacre" and "Santa Anna arrives".
- You're still deleting without reason most of the "External links" as well as the categories. The categories in particular have to stay since they are legitimate parts of any Wikipedia article. I'm putting those back leaving the changes you made.
You replaced the existing references with some of your own. That also deserves explanation. I'm also putting the deleted references back.Got it wrong. Sorry about that.
- The point of all this is: use edit summaries or the article's talk page (as you did now, but I'm still not entirely satisfied). It's not optional to do so when people complain about your changes.

- Fair enough, no hard feelings. Also, don't forget to sign your comments with ~~~~. That links directly to your userpage and leaves the date and time of your message. Happy editing. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 17:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Pictures to an article
editHi Skibofilms. Do you need to know how to add an image to an article that is already uploaded to Wikipedia, or do you need to know how to upload an image to Wikipedia, and then add it. Also, please remember to add ~~~~ at the end of your message when making changes in the discussion areas. If you were logged in as me, typing the four tildes will generate the coloured text at the end of this message.
This allows other Wikipedians to indentify who wrote what, and when they wrote it. Kind regards, Sebi [talk] 05:39, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you want to put an already upload image into a article, you can find that information here. If you want to upload an image to use in an article, you can click on "upload file" which is a link right under the search box to the left. Hope this helps! ~ Wikihermit 06:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
