Nice work

Hiya. Noticed some of your contributions & thought they were cool.

Just a couple of thoughts to share ...

Firstly, when making edits, you may not know, but we're supposed to supply a wp:ES with each edit.

Secondly, as you're making good progress, how about putting something on your User page? Not obligatory at all, but there are benefits to you and other editors. You see, at the moment, you appear in red in all places, for instance in Edit Histories such as this one.

That means we fear you're a red menace, whereas your edits are in fact sound.

Whereas, if you put anything at all on your user page, your name would henceforth be blue. You could put anything at all - how about "I'm interested in social justice".?

Best thing then is ... it keeps us well-wishers off your back!

Anyway, above all, welcome & happy editing. Best wishes, Trafford09 (talk) 11:44, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I've put up something on my User page and it's not red anymore! Will try to stick to the standards in future edits. Thanks again!
