Hi, Chizzit26, and thank you for editing the Blake's 7 article. Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm Baffle gab1978 and I've been editing here, including this article, since 2008. Unfortunately I've removed some of your changes because they didn't improve the article. As a major contributor to the Blake's 7 article, I was concerned at your removal of plot information from the lead text, for example here where your edit summary says "...removing information on characters' fates that might constitute spoilers for those seeking a series overview." You shouldn't remove information just because you consider that it spoils the plot - see WP:SPOILER. The series' ending is an important feature of the article so it should be represented in the summary. Also, your new text here in the Overview section was unreferenced, which would be considered original research, which Wikipedia's policies don't allow.
Another thing - I see you've marked some of your contributions as 'minor edits'; you shouldn't do this unless they really are minor changes, like punctuation, formatting, grammar and spelling corrections (please see WP:MINOR). When you make major changes to articles, you should leave the 'minor edit' box unchecked. This is because some editors who watch the article set their watchlists to ignore minor edits, especially if they watch a lot of articles.
I hope this doesn't put you off editing articles at Wikipedia. If you'd like to discuss the article, please feel free to leave a message at the article's talk page, or drop me a note at my talk page (see my signature), and if you need further help the welcome message I've added above should get you started nicely. Again, welcome to Wikipedia and happy editing. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:28, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
