Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 118 major and 0 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 20:00, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm starting to do it more.--MarshallStack 04:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Comment

Hello Marshall, I removed the reference to Henry Lee Summer's real name because that is something that belongs in a full article, not in a passing reference on a webpage, in that regard, it should look the same as the other names on the list. RobertHeadley 05:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Come Visit

Hey Marshall! You should come visit us up North sometime! A huge amount of respect goes out to those intellectual Americans that want to be Canadians ;). It's easy to get your citizenship and it's not too late to work with the Canadian Forces! I'm in the reserves myself.Ph33rspace 04:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Frank Jasper (Vision Quest) Article Scheduled For Deletion

Hi there, You have shown through your contributions that you're a fan of the 1980s movie "Vision Quest". I created an article on actor Frank Jasper who played the villian, Brian Shute, in the movie. I've also included information about what Dr. Jasper is doing now. Many people have wondered through Wikipedia and Imdb whatever happened to him, and I've tried to put this information out there for everyone. Unfortunately, some people think the article should be deleted for whatever reason. If you loved the movie as much as I did, please go to this link and voice your support before the article is deleted. Thanks a lot. I would appreciate your support very much.

Black Canadians

Hey there, I removed this edit because Harriet Beecher Stowe was neither black nor Canadian. Please be more careful not to add spurious information to articles in the future. Dina 20:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

A closer look at your contribs indicates that this is not a habit with you, so I apologize for the harshness of my tone. I'm sure it was just an error. Cheers Dina 20:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps you meant Harriet Tubman? Although all my sources say that she was buried in Auburn, New York Dina 20:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Dina: My error. I got my wires crossed. Josiah Henson, the noted inspiration for Uncle Tom's Cabin, is buried in Dresden, Ont. Thank you for pointing this out.--MarshallStack 14:45, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on Naval Whites in the Canadian Forces uniforms article

The white tunic we use is the same pattern as the USN; just change the insignia and buttons. See, it's not a supply system item, since it's optional, so most guys who want one find it cheaper to buy one at the uniform shop (I got mine in Everett) rather than go to an outfitters in Canada. You're right, though; it does look sharp.    ¥    Jacky Tar  06:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Royal Canadian Air Force uniforms

Hi. Could you tell me the source of your edit re: RCAF uniforms in the RCAF article. I'm trying to ensure that this article is adequately sourced. Or, better still, could you add your sources to the article. Thanks. BC  _{talk to me} wfo 01:10, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
