Preview & Edit Summary

Hi, I see you are relatively new to editing, one suggestion is adding an edit summary to your edits (see WP:EDITSUMMARY as well as the preview section WP:PREVIEW), previewing your edits eliminates many minor edits to a page and the edit summary helps other editors with what the edit is without having to look at the diff or actual article. Thanks and happy editing! Mr mark taylor (talk) 14:23, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Your edits on 3/7/08 & Other issues

Hi, I was wondering why you reverted this edit. I cleaned the article up, added citations and deleted information that seemed too "in the know" or industry-speak. I do not want to engauge in an edit war, I just want articles to look as neat, clean, neutral and verified as possible. Also, I noticed your user name is similar to a source listed with the WEXP (FM) article, so if i could, point you towards several wikipedia policies and standards, such as conflict of interest, What Wikipedia is not and ownership of an article. Have a great weekend and enjoy Wikipedia! Mr mark taylor (talk) 16:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Stop being a fanboy.

Jay, I realize you are the GM of The Fox, so obviously your opinion of the station is biased. You need to document things with actual links. You can't use yourself as a source with no confirmation. You want to talk about how great your station is? Start a blog. This is supposed to be a neutral source of information. I will continue to delete your posts and replace them with Mr mark taylor's (talk), who actually took the time to provide links and documentation. --96.233.208.84 (talk) 03:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:32, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
