Sorry for the belated welcome, buet the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, BrianGroen. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Edit summary

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.--220 of ^Borg 08:54, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Your edit summaries are not in the 'right' place. Please place them outside the /* section title */ brackets in the 'Summary:' field.-220 of ^Borg 09:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit preview

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to 2014 West Africa Ebola virus outbreak, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 09:32, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Ebola

Hi there Brian, it is good to work with you on the article. I just wanted to let you know that I am in the process of making some major changes in the Congo section now that the WHO has finally given a statement (on 8/26). Best, Gandy Gandydancer (talk) 15:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC) BTW, it may go slow for me - I am having trouble getting my edits to go through and it is taking a lot of time, whether WP's fault or my computer I do not know...

Hi BrianGroen, I noticed that your addition of cases in DRC on the 2014 West Africa ebola outbreak page had been removed. I support @Philly_boy92's move as the DRC outbreak currently appears to be unrelated (as per WHO 26 August statement). Until new data infirm this first assessment, I agree that we should stick with the consensus reached at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2014_West_Africa_Ebola_virus_outbreak#Congo_should_be_added_to_list. All Best, F Camp (talk) 15:32, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
