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. Powers T 14:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External links and other changes
Hi I noticed that on a few pages you have gone around and changed the external links from something like this *[http://www.jefftimmons.com Official Site] to something like this *[http://www.jefftimmons.com] Official Site. I just wanted to let you know that it is unnecessary for you to continue to do that, as most links are already following the guidelines that wikipedia has set up. Please read over these to better idea of wikipedia's style guide. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links), Wikipedia:External links. Thanks! --ImmortalGoddezz 15:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think the previous comment is a bit too indirect, so let me restate it: Changing links by adding "See" is WRONG. Please stop.
- Also, in the External links section, changing an external link like this:
- to a link link this:
-
- [1] Zack Space for Congress
- is WRONG. Please stop.
- Finally, please be exact when you write something in an edit summary. You're putting "(categories updated)" for some edits where that isn't correct. For example, you used that explanation when you edited the following:
-
- Zack Space (which I am about to revert) - you deleted one category, and did a bunch of other minor editing (and you didn't explain why you deleted what looked like a perfectly good category)
-
- Tom Tupa, where you didn't edit categories at all.
- Thanks. John Broughton 15:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

- You're welcome. Good hunting. John Broughton 19:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Another suggestion: Regarding your edits to Dennis Kucinich, it might be helpful (until you become more used to editing) to use the "Show Preview" button, just to the right of the "Save Page" button, so you can see what your edits will look like before you actually make the changes. Good luck. Ufwuct 19:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion page and citation banner
It is requested that you use the Discussion pages BEFORE (and not when) deleting material; that's what they are there for. Give the contributors time to respond. If you have an item you are questioning, you can also mark it like this (only WITHOUT the spacing I'm using here to show you): { { fact } }. That will label the item as in need of a citation to verify its contention. Usually allow 7 days for a response before making the deletion.
Thanks! trezjr 22:06, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
