Greetings fellow inexperienced Wikipedia editor
editHello, I have no idea if you will see this message or not, because I noticed that you have apparently been making some of your edits from IP addresses, rather than logged in. I assume that these edits are all coming from the same person, although I can't be sure, which is why it's important to log in. Recently you inserted punctuation into an image filename on the page Phacelia covillei which of course prevented the image from displaying, then you came back and removed the image file from the page entirely. Based on the fact that most of your edits to this page appear to have been done in an attempt to improve the page, I doubt you are a deliberate vandal. I am relatively new at editing Wikipedia myself, and I assume you are just inexperienced. I have been learning through trial and error myself, and doubtlessly have made some mistakes. In the future, please always log in if you are going to edit pages. If you make changes to a page, always preview them before you save them to make sure they look ok. For future reference, never insert punctuation into, or otherwise alter a filename. Also, if you are going to make a significant change to a page, particularly deleting something, always be sure to explain the changes you have made on the line where it says "Edit summary". Thank you. Fritzflohrreynolds (talk) 19:48, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

editDisambiguation link notification for February 10
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Stellaria media, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Capsule (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
