Edit summaries

Hi there. 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. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 04:12, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Little Green Footballs DRAFT

Hi Obdicut! Would you mind if any of us make edits to the above-captioned draft? Thanks! — SpikeToronto 19:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)\

I'd welcome it. I want to request edits, and I'm not sure how to do so. This is my first attempt at a Wikipedia article, so the one request I'd had would be to be as explicit as you can in any criticism. But please be critical.Obdicut (talk) 21:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

No need to thank you for my patience; thank you for taking the time to work this over with me. I can't understand how I messed up the formatting for the last section. Can you explain? P.s. I'm not sure I've got the hang of talkback yet. Obdicut (talk) 10:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
