May 2015

[edit]

Information icon Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. ABCDEFADtalk to me 22:18, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Re RFC:Australians - I recommend that you link to the diff of your edit(s), rather than the revert, so it's clear what changes you made, rather than what someone else did (unless you are explicitly asking for comment on the other person's edit). Probably you should be linking to [1]. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:05, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

[edit]

Information icon Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

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)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! - DVdm (talk) 15:45, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Jamala's Armenian name

[edit]

Her ancestry is not irrelevant, but her name is neither Armenian does she represent Armenia in any way. It's like spelling Drake's Hebrew name in the intro, just because his mother is Jewish. --Երևանցի talk 07:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
