odd edit summaries

Hi, I noticed your edits on Gwyneth Paltrow and I'm confused by your edit summaries. Do you have some setting configured that always puts "Fixed typo" as your edit summary? You added some content and some refs, and your edits are fine but they weren't fixing typos so I don't understand why you're using that as your edit summary.

Oops! Sorry about that. I usually paste that because usually I edit pages that are full of typos. That’s my main role in Wikipedia, so I usually add that. In this case it was unnecessary. Sorry for the confusion! BillyGene100 (talk) 01:07, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining. You might want to be careful about that. Vandals often use edit summaries that don't accurately reflect their edits, and since you're obviously not a vandal, no sense making other editors suspicious. Schazjmd (talk) 01:16, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bea Miller, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Maplewood. 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.)
