Hello OceaNotion; I have Jethro Tull on my watch list so I saw your edits to this article and wanted to thank you for the additions. I never would of guessed those albums were not on the list so I thank you for catching that. I also noticed you edit summaries (I believe everyone should leave an edit summary) and yours are great but, you could save yourself some typing ie. in your summaries you describe everything you have done, which is fine but, you really just need to leave a small statement of the reason or a more brief message of what you did like, "typo" or "fxd lnk" (Fixed link). The reason your summaries need not be so specific is when an editor see's your summary on their watchlist they will most likely click on the "diff" link which will show up like this the edits you made are highlited there so the editor will see "what" you did and the summary usually tells why you did it. It's something you will get used to so it's not a big deal but, It can save some typing. You can also look this over Edit Summaries to get a better feel. again thanx for your work it is appreciated.

Begining and End of Decades
[edit]Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia, I do not think you intended to vandalize wikipedia and your edits to 1990s, 2000s (decade) and 2010s where made in good faith. However it should be mentioned that the information you added was inaccurate as Centuries start in the '01 and end in the '00 100 years latter, however decades do not work that way a decade begins in the '00 and ends in the '09, I know this all gets confusing and many people have varying opinions, however wikipedia needs everything to be uniform in some way, and thus even though these are different in appearence, the Gregorian Calender starts decades at 0, even though centuries start at 1. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 03:42, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
