Drmies (talk) 01:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC) Thank you so much for the welcome. I will delve into the specific articles you have kindly pointed me too -- I am obviously a rank beginner and have so much to learn! With best wishes.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Gene Ruyle, 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. Drmies (talk) 01:51, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello PWG, it would be a good idea to consolidate your changes into fewer but bigger edits; it'll make the article history look much more transparent. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:54, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

April 2010

I've finally returned -- Hello, Drmies! My horrendous work schedule has kept me away; but I'm glad to be back now and picking up where I left off. I've made a nine-article watch list (Esalen Institute, Franz Brentano, Hans Kung, Harold Clurman, Jonas Salk, Marlena Dietrich, Noel Coward, Paul Tillich, Sam Keen), whose life & work I'm familiar with through my own. These are my starting points for making germane edits while simultaneously learning the overall Wiki editing process. I will incorporate the suggestions you gave me before, looking to you as the experienced guide in this overall activity, and also endeavor to assimilate the informative material presented in the many available tutorials. As before, I'll direct pertinent questions to you as these arise. My thanks to you in advance for this, PrairyWriterGuy (talk) 20:13, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
