Howdy, I saw you have been editing on a temporary work page.  Have you considered just editing on the actual pages?  That way you will be able to maintain a history and if a reversion has to be made, you won't lose too much of your work.  [[User:Lance|Lance]] 02:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

:You should never have to worry about editing the page too much for any reason.  In fact, the more revisions allows for a history of how a page evolves and is quite useful when trying to figure out when different events occurred.  On another note, a small one, try to avoid using the "this is a minor edit" checkbox.  Realistically, it should only be used when dealing with spelling errors or minor formatting issues.  I do try to read through most of the revisions and when an entire page is being changed, I can't think of how it could be a minor edit.  Of course, this is minor in itself, but something to think about.  If you have any questions, or need any help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Happy contributing! [[User:Lance|Lance]] 01:15, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Temporary pages

Howdy, I saw you have been editing on a temporary work page. Have you considered just editing on the actual pages? That way you will be able to maintain a history and if a reversion has to be made, you won't lose too much of your work. Lance 02:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

You should never have to worry about editing the page too much for any reason. In fact, the more revisions allows for a history of how a page evolves and is quite useful when trying to figure out when different events occurred. On another note, a small one, try to avoid using the "this is a minor edit" checkbox. Realistically, it should only be used when dealing with spelling errors or minor formatting issues. I do try to read through most of the revisions and when an entire page is being changed, I can't think of how it could be a minor edit. Of course, this is minor in itself, but something to think about. If you have any questions, or need any help, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Happy contributing!

It can be a bit daunting at first, but you are doing a great job. No need for apologies, just trying to help out anyone at any chance I get. :) Lance 07:59, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
