Edit Summaries
editHello. 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 Girls Like You 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!
- @Binksternet: This editor sometimes makes good edits, e.g. [1]. However, I asked the editor to use edit summaries and they have ignored my request. I have additionally asked them to stop adding and deleting material without providing an edit summary. I see this all the time, and it is a waste of our time to have to look through these unexplained edits. I consider to be disruptive. But I'm not sure it is actionable. Is it? Any suggestions on how to put more pressure on this editor (and editors like them) to use edit summaries and to stop the useless and distracting addrevert stuff would be much appreciated.
- Also, I started trying out the geo-locate stuff--thanks for that suggestion.--David Tornheim (talk) 22:55, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hands All Over (album). 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. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:43, 3 May 2019 (UTC) Please stop adding and reverting material and providing no edit summaries for this useless editing. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:45, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Maroon 5, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop adding and reverting material and providing no edit summaries for this useless editing. --David Tornheim (talk) 04:45, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
