  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! 220 of Borg 12:28, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Worlea Saywah Dunah

Only ONE copy of his biography is needed. I've redirected the other two to Worlea Saywah Dunah.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cabayi (talkcontribs) 16:34, 24 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Agree with this redirection of, now, two other pages.
• On Wikipedia (WP) we do not have multiple pages on the one person.
• We avoid edits like this which undid the correct formatting of references that another editor did, among other useful edits. (which is why I reverted back several edits). Especially we try to explain with an edit summary, as I have requested you do previously.
• We usually don't use WP:Honorifics in the page name, (which is why I earlier moved the page to only his name) or within the article, possibly once in the lead. This is why Ihaver removed the "Hon."s from the text.
• Section headings are usually in Sentence case, only the first letter is capitalised, which is why I changed them before the edit you did that reverted these correct changes, as noted above.
• We don't use blank lines in article pages to space text out.
On WP we Assume good faith, but it has taken me almost an hour to 'fix', as far as I can tell, your one edit that undid several other editors work.
You can expect to have your work edited, fixed, improved by other editors, especially as you are new to WP. (See WP:Ownership) If there are any valid corrections you made that I have missed please fix them.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Worlea Saywah Dunah. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
This is how AGF begins to fade.
