[edit] Please consolidate your edits

Steve, I'm glad to see you've registered, and you're making some great contributions. Will you please try to make all your edits to any given article (or section of an article) in one go, rather than your current practice of making an individual edit, saving it, making another edit, saving it, making another edit, saving it, and so on? Consolidated edits are considered much more coöperative and user-friendly than numerous individual edits. You'll find the "Preview" button is a great tool; it lets you see what your edit will look like before you actually save it. Thanks! --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 06:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I can understand your artist technique — it's just a lot of editors take a dim view of multiple single edits, and some administrators see it as an attempt to stymie coöperative effort on articles. It can easily wind up working against you despite completely pure intentions. Also, I hesitate to ask because it seems to run against your grain, but will you please sign your talk page comments by putting four tildes ~ at the end ? Thanks again, --Scheinwerfermann (talk) 20:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit]  :Image:Valiantcat.jpg

Strictly speaking, you may have taken Image:Valiantcat.jpg, but I strongly suspect that what you photographed was in fact a Valiant sales brochure or other promotional literature. Doing so does not constitute making an image that is yours to release to the public domain, and does not qualify as fair use. Would you like to please remove the image yourself without anyone having to report it as a copyright violation? Thanks. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 02:22, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. I'm human, which means sometimes I'm wrong. It certainly is a hell of a nice white Valiant they've got at the museum, isn't it! Did you spot the aluminum 225 engine downstairs? —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 01:17, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Named references

Steve, you're adding great content to Valiant, but will you please take a careful look at how I've tidied up the multiple references to the Loofbourrow (et al) document, and emulate it whenever you're making multiple references to a single source? It's really easy and makes not only a much cleaner and neater reflist, but also a much easier-to-edit article. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 02:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
