[edit] Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -- JHunterJ 20:36, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your edit to TIF
Your recent edit to TIF (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // AntiVandalBot 10:23, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How to handle page deletions
If you think a page should be deleted from Wikipedia (like you recently did with TIF), please do not blank the page, but follow the steps outlined in the Wikipedia deletion policy. The page has now been turned into a useful redirect following a Speedy deletion request. Thanks for your help in tidying up Wikipedia's trash. --IByte 14:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please use Edit Summaries!
Thank you for your edits. However, note that the edit summaries are very helpful to other editors reviewing edits. It is easy to use the Edit Summary box. Please summarize your edits! Hu 02:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
