  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)

I noticed your recent edit to List of George Floyd protests does not have an edit summary. 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. 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!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of people with given name Michael, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Chan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Re: Minor Edits

edit

  Hi TheAmazingRaspberry! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Lists of unarmed black people killed by law enforcement officers

edit

I think vehicular homicide cases should count. I mean they were black & unarmed right? And killed by a Law Enforcement officer driving a vehicle. So yeah, personally i think vehicular homicides should count. I wanna hear your side. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yowhatzthatmyguy (talkcontribs) 17:58, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The thing is, unlike other methods of death, vehicular homicides are generally unintentional, and there generally isn't a notable racial disparity because of that. Shootings, beatings, tasers, are all caused by intentional actions by police officers, but car accidents aren't. So that's why I wouldn't include vehicular homicides. TheAmazingRaspberry (talk) 18:08, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
TheAmazingRaspberry, I have re-added this content.
You have not proposed any alternative method to qualify these events, or cited any sources or Wikipedia policy. Generally ascribing motive to an entire category of these incidents is likely a violation of WP:OR.
I have added that boilerplate message to List of unarmed African Americans killed by law enforcement officers in the United States. If you think the article's selection criteria should be changed, discuss it at the talk page (I've added a section about it).

Removing cited information

edit

Hi there, I've noticed you've been removing deaths from list articles such as List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, February 2023 and List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, March 2023 due to a lack of information about the deaths. I have reverted these edits. The content you've removed was cited and has a clear possibility of expansion. If you think list additions should have more info, add that info instead of deleting it altogether. If you think they should still be deleted, please take it to the respective article talk pages. I recommend you check out WP:PRESERVE. Thanks! Wracking 💬 17:11, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

TheAmazingRaspberry, your removal was especially inappropriate at List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, May 2023, where another editor recently indicated they planned to expand the undetailed entries. Wracking 💬 17:17, 16 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Removal of content from University campus protest article

edit

Hi there, I saw you removed my addition to the Australia section in this diff.

You left the edit summary "Source says nothing about encampments" but if I go to the source, I can find in 5 seconds this paragraph:

"Five pro-Palestine encampments established at universities across Melbourne: Pro-Palestine encampments have spread to five universities in Melbourne with the establishment of permanent protests at RMIT, Deakin and La Trobe."

Why did you remove the content saying it doesn't mention encampments when it clearly does? The source in question: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/live/2024/may/06/australia-news-live-domestic-violence-nsw-chris-minns-jobseeker-budget-anthony-albanese-david-mcbride-whistleblower?page=with:block-663825778f080b5e6ba93794&filterKeyEvents=false#liveblog-navigation

GraziePrego (talk) 04:49, 7 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

My apologies, I've just looked over it again and found that it does mention those universities. Wouldn't say it "clearly does" given that it's mentioned in one section, and this appears to be a general Australian News article given that it mentions several other events in the country and the top headline is about Synergy360. Go ahead and re-add it if you haven't already, but consider finding a source that actually focuses on those encampments instead of a one-sentence mention in a general compilation article. Cheers!
