Please use edit summaries to explain your changes edit

  Hello. 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. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! DuncanHill (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Could I echo DuncanHill's comments - it would really help if you explained what you were doing in your edit comments. At the moment you are making a mass of unexplained changes: these can be seen as disruptive editing. Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:32, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Please explain why you are making changes to articles, templates, etc. It seems like you are doing good things, but it takes a while for me to figure that out when you don't explain yourself. When you added a "Ξ" to Template:North American birds, it looked like vandalism. I still don't know if it's appropriate, but I see how it could work. Please use edit summaries to explain why you are making changes and consider editing with a username.  SchreiberBike | ⌨  03:58, 15 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Take care with categorization changes edit

You introduced several inaccuracies in your categorization work related to Pure Michigan Byways/Great Lakes Circle Tours. The Copper Country Trail, for example, is only the section of US 41 north of the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, so the CCT does not include parts of US 41 in several counties nor does it include segments of the LMCT. Additionally, Chris Bessert's website is by no means "official" for anything in any context. Imzadi 1979  22:18, 18 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

March 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm Home Lander. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Stateline, Nevada because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks.

  Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Coosa River, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — IVORK Discuss 04:45, 21 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
