Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! 220 of Borg 10:08, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! 220 of Borg 18:04, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Greenhouse gas. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --David Biddulph (talk) 05:26, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Shadowowl. I noticed that you recently removed some content from George Lincoln Rockwell without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. » Shadowowl | talk 10:52, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Wow! signal, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Do not introduce links that only refer back to same article. David J Johnson (talk) 12:17, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Oshwah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to The Big Issue seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:47, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi. You will find the answer to your question here and here. (Which in turn refer to the WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTINHERITED norms). Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 09:47, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Pdfpdf. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pratas Islands have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks.
Placing a whole-of-article tag in the middle of a section without any explanation of what you are complaining about is not useful. Pdfpdf (talk) 12:42, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Hougoumont. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Morphdogtalk 14:09, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Diadophis. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

Hello, I'm Rekonedth. An edit that you recently made to Gary Oldman seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Rekonedth (talk) 10:34, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! M.Bitton (talk) 00:16, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, banjo, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. El_C 09:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
