Edit summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. –BMRR (talk) 00:31, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Again, I ask that you please leave an edit summary before saving your edits. Thank you. –BMRR (talk) 02:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, please do. Note, we are not bots making this request; we are fellow human editors. When you leave an edit summary, it helps other people. Jonathunder (talk) 04:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I also urge you to use edit summaries; you have removed a great deal of content from articles regarding United States elections without giving a reason.

Headings

I wanna let you know that you have a bad habit of messing up the subsections. Can you please fix your mistakes.--Jerzeykydd (talk) 13:15, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

August 2010

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at United States Senate election in Connecticut, 2010. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Endofskull (talk) 19:52, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Kansas gubernatorial election, 2010, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
