VEST[edit]

Hi Benjamin. I saw you are doing great work on the VEST article. However I notised that when you updated the article you lost all the changes that other editors had done between your edits, including vital fixes such as corrected links and corrected/changed templates. I guess you are working from a copy saved locally in your computer? So I understand the misstake. However, please take a look at the "history" tab of the article and see what changes others have done before you paste in and save new versions of your text. And of course, if they are good changes add them to your version. I am going to fix some of those things and I hope you won't "save over" them again. Oh, and if crypto is your thing consider taking a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Cryptography and the talk page of that page. --David Göthberg 16:10, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I completely rewrote the page a little while ago and only recently put it online. Thanks for reinserting the previously lost information! I'll keep an eye out on the page you mention. :) BenjaminGittins 06:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of good work![edit]

Hi again Benjamin. I couldn't stop myself from popping in here again since I see you editing so many cryptography articles. And what I see is that you do a lot of good work!

By the way, you should consider to write something (anything) on your userpage so your name doesn't come up as a red link in the history list of pages. Those red links make you seem like a beginner. But you are no beginnner anymore. --David Göthberg 07:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely enjoy updating the pages on Wiki; its a great public resource. I have added a user-page; can you suggest a way I might be able to replace "BenjaminGittins" with "Benjamin Gittins"? BenjaminGittins 11:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can not change your login name and I think it can not contain blanks anyway. So making a new user doesn't help. So you are stuck with a "one-word" login name. But you can change the appearance of your signature. Go to your "my preferences" (in the menu on the very top to the right of any page when you are logged in) and under "User Profile" -> "Signature:" simply fill in "Benjamin Gittins" but of course without the " ". While you are at it also fill in your email so you can get your password if you forgett it. And I highly recomend that you set "Editing" -> "Show preview on first edit". It makes editing much nicer. --David Göthberg 12:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 8[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Articles for creation/Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Binary (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
