August 2018 edit

  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 Worship God 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 →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

September 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm INeedSupport. I noticed that you recently removed content from List of Holidays without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lists of holidays, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Wheat gluten (food), you may be blocked from editing. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:05, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

May 2019: Jewish holidays edit

You're not wrong, exactly. But outside the Jewish world, and particular the religious world, that's not how people will think of Hanukkah or describe it.

See Hanukkah § Etymology. If you want to add a mention of this to the body text of this section, and can do so without going on at length, feel free. But please remember that this article is a very high-level survey article and does not cover any holiday in great detail. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:21, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

May 2019 edit

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Books of the Bible . Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 18:42, 29 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

List of holidays edit

Hello. Have added Mother's and Father's Day in the secular text, as Parent's Day does not cover those (Parent's Day is a South Korean holiday set on May 8, while Mother's Day and Father's Day vary). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:56, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

April 2021 edit

 

Your recent editing history at List of holidays shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

June 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Ken Tony. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Saint Patrick's Day, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Ken Tony Shall we discuss? 17:00, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
