Help with Eastbourne

I am trying to gather a small group of people to improve the Eastbourne article and writing to you as you have edited that page recently. I have set up a what needs to be done section on the talk page, and I am hoping that I will get a few people to start a discussion. It would be wonderful if you could spare a few minutes just to look at the current Eastbourne article and give your opinion. It would be evern more wonderful if you could join in with this small project as well. Thank you MortimerCat 12:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and nominated the article for deletion. Just wanted to let you know. Cheers. -- Seed 2.0 01:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Preview

Jim, it is possible to preview your changes before saving them and thus avoid producing dozens of versions. Xxanthippe 22:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know. I often preview my changes five or six times between each save. Infuriatingly, my keyboard has a "back" button next to the arrow keys that sometimes causes me to lose my work, so I like to save every few minutes. Because I save so many times, I usually copy an article to my user page and edit a draft there, which avoids cluttering up the history of the main article.

Thanks for the tip, though. Aside from cluttering up history pages (which I try to avoid), is there any reason saving so often would cause trouble? Jim 22:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
