Please do not unalphabetize lists or randomly remove items from them. --Guppymomma 16:55, 12 March 2006 (PST)

Ahoy! I saw your reply to Guppymomma. Looking at the one-sentence line above, I'm not sure why you consider that "screaming". It's brief, yes, but also polite. As for your changes, I understand (now) what you were trying to accomplish. In the future, you should use the Summary field to explain your edits. That lets other editors know what you changed. In general, though, we tend to alphabetize most lists on the YPPedia.

I hope that you'll continue to contribute to YPPedia. It's a collaborative effort, and we could use the help. --Barrister 18:00, 12 March 2006 (PST)

Okay, that's fair; you're right. She didn't "scream" at me; that was a poor choice of words. But it still seems to me that if you're serious about trying to get more people involved in updating the Wiki, you should try talking to them first, rather than erasing everything they did and telling them it was wrong.

I also don't see any "Summary field" on the edit page, nor did I see anything like that on the "Editing help" page.

The "Summary" field is just above the 3 buttons ("save page", "show preview", "show changes"). Filling it in when you make an edit will help others understand the change you make. Alternately, you can click on "discuss this page" (near the top of every page) and start a discussion about changes you've made or would like to make. Let me know if you have other questions. --Barrister 00:55, 13 March 2006 (PST)
