When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "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.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

I hope you enjoy your time on Wikipedia! -Localzuk (talk) 19:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Footnotes

Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I have noticed, however, that several articles you have created or edited do not present the correct footnote labeling.

Each footnoted text should present a {{ref}} tag in the text area, and the corresponding footnote in the reference area should be labeled with a {{note}} tag. Apparently you are using the same {{ref}} tag in both the text and reference areas, and as a result, the links don't work. Please check Wikipedia:Footnotes for the correct usage of footnotes. Thanks. --HYC 08:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
