Edit Summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead.

Using detailed edit summaries is the best way to ensure that your good faith edits are not reverted by recent changes patrollers or other wikieditors. Thanks and happy editing! — SpikeToronto 20:42, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Your Edit at Queen’s University

Your recent edit at Queen’s University has had the {{Reference necessary}} and {{Weasel word}} templates added to it. This means that you need to provide a citation for the statement regarding Queen’s admissions as per Wikipedia’s verifiabilty guidelines and replace the phrase, “is considered,” with something more precise. See Wikipedia’s weasel word policy. Thanks and happy editing! — SpikeToronto (talk) 02:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

January 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Queen's University. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 20:43, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Queen's University. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. — SpikeToronto 20:47, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Liam Lynch (Irish republican). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. RashersTierney (talk) 10:32, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Queen's University

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I am leaving this message here to inform you that I've recently modified your edits in the article for Queen's University. Please note that the images on the page itself should not be simple statements of the building names, but should be drawing the user to further engage into the article (note WP:CAPTIONS & WP:IMAGE RELEVANCE). This is especially critical if the article faces a Good Article or Featured Article nominations. While there are certain exceptions to this policy, the reasoning that an images need to be in the article would not suffice, given that there already is a sufficient amount of images to illustrate the university. This article is not a gallery, and these images are already held in the Wikimedia Commons for those which wish to view them.

Also note that this article is a broad overview of the university, and details on individual things should general be avoided unless it is notable in its own right (note WP:UNIGUIDE & WP:NOTABILITY). Noting this however, I have taken into consideration of the captions and information brought up for Theological Hall in the history section and congratulate you on its inclusion and engagement with the article and left it there. Also, I have noted the fact that Grant Hall is actually a noted landmark held by both the university administration as well as the student community, and have left the image there, as well as modified the caption to make it engaging with the article.

Thank you again for your consideration and again, welcome! Leventio (talk) 09:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
