Summaries

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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. -Will Beback 12:10, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Constituency infobox

Please don't remove the constituency part of infoboxes on PM pages. I'm slowly adding them to every MP but it takes time, there are 646 current MPs and many thousands of former MPs to do. I feel showing the constituency details in the infobox adds to the page and many others agree. --Philip Stevens 18:59, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Marking things as minor edits

Please don't mark large changes to wikitext as minor edits, as you did with Template:USVicePresidents. In addition, such large edits should always be accompanied by some form of edit summary. Chris Cunningham 09:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

April 2007

We had a minor edit-war back in April. It now seems that everything we were fighting for was just deleted earlier today, Historical rankings of United States presidents. I am sorry, and I have strived to never edit-war again. --Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 01:27, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I added it back so I guess we'll see what happens. On a side note feel free to add {{User:Uga Man/Userbox}} to your userpage. Thank you. --Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 21:17, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I was indef-blocked for "sockpuppetry". But now 8 months later, I'm back. My political views have changed significantly since then and now I am "running for president". I hope we can keep the list intact on Historical rankings of United States presidents.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 22:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

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.
