How to edit the "mobile search result summary"?
Please help me with editing the "search result summary" (I don't know what else to call it) that shows up when searching on the mobile site.
For example, if I go to the mobile site at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#/search and type Canola in the search box, the first result is:
The second line is what I'm calling the "search result summary."
I want to fix the grammatical and factual errors in the summary canola is a rapeseed oil who come from GMO rapeseed fields in Canada, United States, Chile and Australia, but I cannot find this text anywhere on the edit page for the Canola article. Please tell me how to edit this text.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Resolved: Howicus pointed me to WP:VPT, where I learned that these descriptions come from wikidata. Phlar (talk) 17:33, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Phlar,
I contributed some of the edit on the page, would like to clarify issues:
1. Political issues section removal: There is clearly political involvement on National Taiwan University based on my citations, I added at least ten citations to prove the relationship, please allow me to edit the title of
controvercies. The government supported activitsts like to pretend this is a procudural issue on president, it is not.

I can read your English without problem, PLEASE DO NOT use Chinese to communicate with me. Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.245.237.230 (talk) 04:25, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
It seems to me that you are disqualifying my rights to write to wiki, I officially reject your feedback on communicating in chinese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.50.40.194 (talk) 09:07, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Page "Weihai", you removed the timeline I made with my blood in. I now cannot even restore the old version. You know how much time did I input in coding it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miaoxingrenren (talk • contribs) 14:10, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
You deleted information from this article that was from a verifiable and cited source. This is against Wikipedia policies, and is considered to be disruptive behavior, especially if the reasons are invalid. I have re-added it to the article. Do not remove it again, else I shall file a report at the Admins page for disruptive behavior. Morphenniel (talk) 13:34, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for your edit to Julie Russell; I didn't know that was an error! Graham87 06:09, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
In this edit from November 2014 to the NCKU article, it was asserted that, "The name of the university is translated using Chinese word order. By English grammar rules, it is Cheng Kung National University." [1]. By extension, a similar note was added to the NTU page in this edit from April 2018 ([2]) where it was written, "The name of the university is translated using Chinese word order. By English grammar rules, it is Taiwan National University."
It may seem silly or trivial, but if we are going to add such a note, I think we should give the readers a clear picture of which English grammar rules are being broken. A vague statement that there is a grammatical problem does not merit being added as a note to the page. Let's bring out the big guns and diagram the sentence or state the specific problem or something.
'National' here is not referring to 'a university serving the entire nation' (an adjective putting the university in a category of types of universities). Here, 'national' means 'the specific university established by the nation' (國立) (adjective letting you know a salient feature about the proper noun). I think the English translation they use is grammatical in that context. National Taiwan University means 'The University in Taiwan established by the nation'. The Cheng Kung University established by the nation: National Cheng Kung University.
If there is no response from your end, I am going to assume that my interpretation is valid and remove these notes. Geographyinitiative (talk) 00:23, 28 September 2019 (UTC) (modified)
Hi Phlar, i see your contribution in Cheng Shao-chieh and Tai Tzu-ying articles about MOS:INFOBOXFLAG and MOS:DUPLINK. And now a user re-adding that flag and re-linking ROC and Taiwan anchor to the same target. I already performed 2-revert and try to explain about that mos to the user, but he/she reverted again my edit. And because that issue doesnt clear (see: User talk:Stvbastian#CSC & TTY) and that user made much disruptive editing, i already report that user to the administrators. I hope you can help me per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG and MOS:DUPLINK, by leaving a comment here. Thank you Stvbastian (talk) 12:23, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi Phlar! Since you're the only member of Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Pomona College, I just wanted to give you an FYI heads up that I've been doing a bunch of work on Pomona-related pages recently, and if you're inclined, a second pair of eyes from someone familiar with the college is always useful. Specifically:
In the near term, I think I'm pretty close to done with my Pomona-related spate of editing, so I'll leave it to someone else to pick up the baton and address the to-do items and any other major needs to get to GA status. If you know of any other editors who might be interested, feel free to also give them a ping. Cheers, ((u|Sdkb)) talk 12:03, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
You can not say Taiwan is a country, it is an island controlled by the government of the Republic of China in Taipei. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mingzhen Wu (talk • contribs) 01:13, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Taiwan is a part of the Republic of China. You should learn the history. China is the People's Republic of China. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mingzhen Wu (talk • contribs) 01:32, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
You must use "Republic of China (Taiwan)", you can not only use "Taiwan". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mingzhen Wu (talk • contribs) 01:42, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
