Removing blocks of text from articles
If you insist on removing paragraphs from articles, please add them to the talk page and include why you removed it, or believe it to be inaccurate. With regards to the section you removed from Skrreea related to skin, there is a mention of them flaking it when Quark said, "Come to my place, you'll see little pieces of Skrreean skin all over the bar and the floor it's disgusting." Comments such as this added below your removed section of text can help other identify or reword poorly conveyed ideas, rather than removing them altogether. --Alan del Beccio 22:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Preview button
Hi, Shawn. It is asked that you please use the preview button as often as possible while editing in order to limit the number of edits you make to a single article and lower the workload on the database. Also, constant edits are just very annoying to see on the recent changes. Thanks! :) --From Andoria with Love 22:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I apologize for making so many edits, but I am attempting to make this information available as soon as the auction lots sell. The auction is nearly over, and I will try to fit the remaining noteworthy items in one edit. Thanks for your patience! :) --Shawn81 22:37, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
