Also, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that your changes to the [[List of Simpsons episodes]] has been reverted, since a rather significant portion of the article was lost. You may have had some legitimate changes in there as well, and if that is the case, I apologize, since the other changes were lost as well. Please remember to be careful so that you don't accidentally delete parts of the article. Please feel free to continue to edit, and welcome to Wikipedia! -[[User:Dougk|dougk]] ([[User_talk:Dougk|Talk]] ˑ [[Special:Contributions/Dougk|Contribs]]) 00:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC) |

Finally, I forgot to add one thing:
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -dougk (Talk ˑ Contribs) 00:54, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
