Feel free to move this to unite it with the previous discussion.<p>Thanks for adding <nowiki><pre></nowiki>. I tried other methods, and for me it's by far the best method of disabling categories.

Hi.... I recently discovered that "Soul DNA" was written by another Jennifer O'Neill with the same name ( was researching it to try to possibly buy it) anyway I discovered it was some psychic with the same name, so deleted it from her list of books AND I EXPLAINED THE REVISION, DELETION, but someone undid it and put it back anyway even after I explained it.... and then you CORRECTLY reverted that person's put back (you and I were both right ... but you were better perhaps in including an amazon reference, maybe i shud have) I wonder why people keep doing stuff like that .... it seems that they do changes just for the sake of doing changes .... kind of frustrating ...sometimes it is better to just leave well enough alone ....

- It's wonderful to see you using edit summaries and engaging in constructive conversation on article talk pages and user talk pages. However, there may not be enough watchers of talk pages of promotional articles to notice some of your posts. In those cases, you can WP:BOLD and make the appropriate changes.
- I see that you've learned from your mistake with the Youth justice in England and Wales graciously.
- I like that you're adding references when you add content to articles. However, the punctuation should appear BEFORE the footnote. (See Help:Footnotes)
- Country names such as United States don't usually need to be wikilinked. (See MOS:OVERLINK)
- I see that ClueBot automatically reverted your edit to the Greg Stainer article, and wonder if the bot did it because you added the {{Death date and age}} template for someone who's not dead yet. It's interesting that adding the template without actual dates does not display the template to the user.
- Another bot mentioned on your talk page that you accidentally introduced referencing errors in the Victims' rights article. I've fixed them for you (and made small edits to the other pages you've edited).
