Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.)

[edit]

Information icon Hello. 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)

I noticed your recent edit to H. P. Lovecraft does not have an edit summary. 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. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Hi there: I see that you've started to use edit summaries, and I thank you for that. As others have noted, this is a collaborative environment and edit summaries are critical so other people can understand what you are doing. For example, it's not evident why you decided to remove entire sections of the H. P. Lovecraft article. It's courteous to use edit summaries and, in many cases, post notes on the article Talk page if you are performing large-scale revisions. From a collaboration standpoint, this helps other editors understand your plans and have a chance to weigh in. --Laser brain (talk) 16:43, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

[edit]

Please do not mark edits as "minor" when they are clearly not. See Help:Minor edit - "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, corrections of minor formatting errors, and reversion of obvious vandalism. A minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:43, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
