Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, The Overloaded Man‎. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. .

Again, welcome! —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 18:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

J. G. Ballard

Hello and thanks for your contributions to the Ballard article and talk page. Can you please add your signature to your most recent post on the article's talk page? It helps a lot to keep the names straight of who is participating in the conversation. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:J. G. Ballard, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I will also add that in the world of print science fiction, there is nothing disgraceful in the name of "fan"; most of the serious scholarship in science fiction was for many years conducted by the members of fandom, and much of it first (or, alas, solely) saw print in the columns of science fiction fanzines. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I forgot! (I don't do this much)--Rick McGrath (talk) 23:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
