April 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Alligator gar; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Hello, I'm Everedux. An edit you recently made to Thermococcaceae seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Everedux (talk) 00:30, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Pouteria lucuma. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Thomas Westerlaken ( talk) 21:57, 27 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Information icon 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 Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II 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:

Recent edit to Phyllodactylus

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change.

National varieties of English

Information icon Hello. In a recent edit to the page Agkistrodon contortrix, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Ifnord ( talk) 19:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC) reply

To CLCStudent:

Your talk page cannot be edited or a new section added. So: You should learn to tell the difference between edits (which you may or may not like) that improve a page from real vandalism.

Recent edit to Goldhorn

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you removed templates from Goldhorn without explaining how they are solved. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content.

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines.

September 2019

Please stop your disruptive behaviour. It appears you are purposefully harassing another editor. Wikipedia aims to provide a safe environment for its collaborators, and harassing other users, as you did on Prosper, Texas, potentially compromises that safe environment. If you continue behaving like this, you may be blocked from editing. Your edit was vexatious. Please refrain from further disruptive editing. Magnolia677 ( talk) 19:29, 3 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Edit summary reminder
Hello. I noticed that your edit to Cessna 208 Caravan did not include an edit summary. Please remember to use one for every edit, even minor ones. You can enable the wiki software to prompt you for one before making an edit by setting your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary".
