Your changes to Celebrity

I've reverted your changes to Celebrity, as you removed all references from the page, as well as the interwiki links. Obviously, the page needs cleanup, according to the boxes at the top, and you were clearly trying to do that. But please read WP:REF for how to add references to articles -- and also so you'll recognize them and not accidentally remove them -- and see WP:MOS and it's subpages for the manual of style, so you can have a better idea of how exactly a wikipedia article should look. For instance, the dictionary definition you added is not the sort of thing to have in the WP:LEAD to the page.

Also, from what happened with the references, I think you may have been using word or something to edit the page before putting all your changes in -- it's a better idea to edit the page and use the "show preview" button so you can see what it will look like before you save the page. Otherwise, you may accidentally edit out all the wiki metadata, as you did.

Keep all this in mind, and I'm sure you'll fix the page up wonderfully. Thanks for your contributions! Gscshoyru (talk) 19:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I'll study the pages you recommend and try again. I'd be very grateful if you could guide me through this. It's my first attempt at editing an entry in Wikipedia . AbelBergaigne (talk) 08:23, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm not as good at this as other people are -- but I would certainly be willing to help. However, I'm about to be out of the country on vacation for two weeks starting Wendsday, and as such will be away from Wikipedia mostly. If you want to find another user to mentor you, you could try the WP:ADOPT a user program. If not -- I'll be back around the 3rd of May, and I would certainly be willing to help then, if you want to wait. Ok? Gscshoyru (talk) 18:18, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

It'll take me some time to work on the entry and I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait for your return if I may. It's a very kind offer. The more I look into Wikipedia, the more intriguing it is. Have a great trip. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbelBergaigne (talk • contribs) 09:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Well ok then, I'll wait for your message when I get back. If you want you can make a subpage of your own user page, like User:AbelBergaigne/Celebrity, copy the wiki-code to that page, and mess around there if you want. Just don't copy all your changes back -- someone else may have changed the page in the interim, and you don't want to ignore their changes. Make sense? Gscshoyru (talk) 12:02, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
