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:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Edit warring

Please refrain from making anymore edits to the Ethnic groups of Eritrea article or you will likely get blocked. The ethnic groups template is for the ethnic groups within Eritrea. Leechjoel9 (talk) 19:02, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

You are the one edit warring, because you keep removing information that is integral to the template. I went to the talk page and posted my response but I haven't heard anything back from you. AmericanMan18 (talk) 19:04, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Leechjoel9 (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
