Hello.
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)
You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. 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!

- I came here to add the same information that you see above, but I see that someone else already did so. It is good advice; please use edit summaries on all of your edits. Thank you. Mathglot ( talk) 09:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

It is part of the MOS to use WP:LQUOTE. If most of the article's sentences end with the ending dots/commas inside of the quotation marks, you can do a ctrl+F and replace them to fix all of this (double check everytime, in case you ever find an edgecase). Veverve ( talk) 23:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Council of Fifty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Taylor. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot ( talk) 06:56, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I have noticed that you
often edit without using an
edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in
your preferences. Thanks!

Hey! I was just looking at your edits to Islam in China—just so you know, according to the Manual of Style, image captions do not have a final full stop if the caption does not contain a full sentence. Cheers! Remsense 留 23:36, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi! You're really edit-warring over a red link? How does that help the encyclopaedia? Please read this, specifically where it mentions [red] " ... links to a term that could plausibly sustain an article ..." – which of course is the case for these rather significant Florentine gardens. Perhaps you'd then be good enough to revert your mistaken edit? Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 21:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Please see MOS:LQ. General Ization Talk 21:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in
Jessica Alba. There is a
Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you.

Please do not move a page unilaterally against
naming conventions or
consensus, as you did to
Umm al-Kitab (Shi'i book). This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. You are in effect
edit warring on
Umm al-Kitab (Shi'i book). Please revert your edits and discuss at
Talk:Umm al-Kitab (Shi'i book). Thanks, ☿
