Your contribution to the draft
I am looking forward to seeing your section today. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:34, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- A good start. Things to do: 1) avoid bullet points, use normal paragraph structure 2) book citations need page numbers 3) add wiki hyperlinks 4) we don't sign sections in the articles. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit and is especially useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. StaticGull Talk 16:50, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- Mem134, you should be asking the editors who erased your work first - I reviewed your edits, as far as I can see, you are attempting a legit rewrite of the problem-ridden Politico-media_complex#Television section, I don't see why your edits were reverted. You should also add your section to article's talk instead/in addition to leaving it on my userpage, so other members of your group and other editors can review it and decide if it is an improvement to the current section (as I think they will). If there is a revision of yours you'd like me to see restore, please let me know. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:59, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hi there! I noticed that you're new around here, and that you're also editing Wikipedia pages for a university assignment. Although I'm sure you're helping the articles to flourish, I'd like to ask you if you could use edit summaries when editing. This way, everyone can see a brief summary of what you've done, and won't confuse your editing with vandalism. Keep up the good work :-). StaticGull Talk 16:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Just following up: I reverted your edits on Politico-media complex because such a radical change to a page, especially with no mention on the article's talk page, looked a lot like vandalism. I'll remove any warnings I gave you from your talk page, and just alert me if anyone blames you of 3RR. StaticGull Talk 17:15, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Apologies
I apologize for reverting your edits. I acted quickly upon what appeared to be a type of deletion vandalism with this diff link. Using edit summaries will drastically help other users know that your edits are constructive by telling them what you are adding. Keep up the good work! A8UDI 17:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
