Happy editing! Kovcszaln6 (talk) 11:41, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Olin J. Eggen—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Thank you for your message, Materialscientist. I’m always open to learning and improving my edits. In this case, I removed an unused/empty infobox parameter from the Olin J. Eggen page. (I accidentally added a ] in the death_place parameter, which was not intentional.)

If there is a guideline or specific reason the unused parameter should be kept, please let me know. I’m happy to follow the appropriate practices. Thanks Phloxyte (talk) 08:33, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Rosie Hails, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:28, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Jonesey95

I just removed an unused/empty infobox parameter from the Rosie Hails page.

Thanks Phloxyte (talk) 09:12, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

First of all, please don't do that. Second, you removed a populated parameter called |thesis_url= and left behind the URL. That caused syntax errors, which is how I ended up at the page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:18, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Matthias Hartmann did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit and/or to describe what it 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:

or in the visual editor:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:19, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Jonesey95

Thank you for your openness and advice. I’ve been familiarizing myself with Wikipedia by making minor edits. Now, I’m planning to expand my contributions by working on stub articles, removing promotional and irrelevant phrases, eliminating primary sources that were added mainly for SEO purposes, and creating new articles.

I need your supportive advice and any strategies you could share.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Randy DuBurke, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gangland. 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.)
