External links and wiki links 101

In your recent edits, i noticed 2 errors...

  1. When you link to a Neopets TCG link, you don't link to the image, put the page the image is on, like this
  2. When a wiki link is placed on an article, only one link to that article should be on the article you are editing.

I hope this helps you in your future edits. --Jacob 20:19, 4 Jul 2007 (UTC)

A note to Jacob's point two above - you would always link a 'see also' note. --Macbeth 14:40, 5 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Show Preview and edit summary

Notice...

  1. Please use the "Show preview" button if you want to see how your edit is progressing, and do not save then edit again. This will make navigating this articles and the recent changes history easier.
  2. For every edit you make, please write an edit summary, explaining what it is you added/taken out, along with reasons if they apply. This makes understanding what you did to the article easier and again, easier to navigate the history.

Looking forward to your future contributions. --Jacob 14:07, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Refrain from extreme creation

please restrain yourself in creating new categories. Articles is one thing (which you should probably discuss with others considering), but categories need to ALWAYS be discussed with an admin before creation. In the future if you think a category or article should be created, discuss it with other editors or admin, and no unnesessary work will need to be done on your part. --Jacob 20:51, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Payback?

I think you have some explaining to do. It's usually bad practice to edit an editors user page in a way that's destructive (which works against the user page design instead of helping it), but you also wrote in the edit summary "Payback" in terms of a description of what you did. I'm just worried if this is a bitter sort of payback or a joke type, because in either case, it doesn't look very...proffessional. :S --Jacob 21:27, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)

Do not delete you

Never clear your user talk page. it's important for this to be here so others know what messages you have received, and for you to converse and speak pack with other users. Clearing your own talk page can be seen as an act of vandalism, especially when others (and I) are trying to converse with you. It will get you blocked for a certain amount of time to stop you from clearing it. :(

Please understand that i do appreciate your contributiuons to the NeoDex. You have been improving since you have began, and your interest in editing is very noteworthy. But i find it very odd you choose to clear your talk page rather than type a reply to me. :( --Jacob 21:40, 9 Jul 2007 (UTC)
