Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to German Americans did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 04:06, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm AntiDionysius. I noticed that you recently removed content from Americans 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 your 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.

Hi thank you appologies I will include in the future Historyguy93 (talk) 00:40, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Americans, 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 your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. -- LemonSlushie 🍋 (talk) (edits) 23:54, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
