editHi there! 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)
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:
- User contributions
- Recent changes
- Watchlists
- Revision differences
- IRC channels
- Related changes
- New pages list and
- Article editing history
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:53, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Andrzejbanas. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for September 29
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hiram Keller, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Lifespan and Michael Butler. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

IMDb & Footnotes
editHi
Thank you for all your contributions. I just wanted to note that using IMDb as your only source for information about living persons might be problematic, for these reasons:
- Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites#IMDb
- and the Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons policy, which is quite strict about reliable sources
Also, you might want to add your references as a footnote; adding them only in the edit summary would force users to search through the whole edit history to see the references. Some pages have a history of over 10,000 edits – imagine you had to dig through that. To do this, see Help:Footnotes -- your editor might already have a function doing this for you. Check if there's a "Cite" button above your editing box!
Have a nice day! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:38, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 20
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Advance to the Rear, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Chamberlain (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

editReminder regarding use of IMDb
editI noticed that you recently used IMDB as a source for information. Please note that per long-standing consensus, IMDb does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in articles. You can read more about the reasons for this here, here and here.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 17:26, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
