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]

The Strand Magazine..co.uk

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]

As far as I know not apart from that. I agree that it is a good idea to do most of the editing off-line. Xxanthippe 03:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protest the Hero

They are on wikipedia, thus they are notable. I'm not even a fan of the band, but I think that is some noteworthy information, and the revision I made does not violate any wikipedia guidelines. In fact, it upholds them. I decided not to start a Trivia section because they are discouraged, so I included it in the influence section. Even as we speak, there is an AfD discussion on this article, so that type of information will soon be included in the influence section based on how things are going now. Your revision will be undone. --Pwnage8 (talk) 22:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
