Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Talk:Michael Joseph (photographer). Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Without the edit summary, I'm not sure if you intentionally blanked the talk page, or if it was an accident. For now, I'm assuming that it was an accident. If I can help in any way, please drop a note on my talk page. Cheers! --Bgpaulus (talk) 18:00, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the extra post, but it just occurred to me that you may have blanked the talk page in good faith, thinking that you were cleaning up old conversations. If that's the case, you should be aware that, as a general rule, we don't do that; for an explanation of what I'm talking about, please take a moment to read the talk page guidelines, in particular this section. Again, let me know if I can help. Cheers! -- Bgpaulus (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
