Edit Summaries

[edit]

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220 of Borg 02:30, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Lizaran category about her death

[edit]

Hi! thanks for the apreciation of the death of Anna Lizaran. I don't know if you use a bot, but he died today, so he died in 2013 not 2012. Greetings - tot-futbol (talk) 12 January 2013 15:42 UTC

Greetings and... referencing/AGF/BLP

[edit]

Greetings Gabal. Am getting in touch with you re the supposed passing away of Johnny Smith, as I see you visited the page earlier. The two IPs who posted the "news" did not provide any reference supporting their claim, and as I have mentioned on the corresponding talkpage, I have just checked the websites of two leading US papers and two UK papers, as well as Reuters, and there is not any mention whatsoever. So I reckon we need to strictly apply WP:BLP. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 16:58, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sabawi Ibrahim al-Tikriti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bagdad (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey there! Leo Tindemans died, so since you're the expert at updating the article of oldest living world leaders I was wondering if you can update it. I'm scared if I do it, I might screw up! Thanks. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 20:15, 26 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
