Lack of edit summary
I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary. The edit summary is an aid for others to understand your edits. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary. It is not just me that appreciates having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages.

The edit summary appears in black italics in the all of following places:
 * Page history - list of changes to the page you edited
 * User contributions - list of all your edits
 * Watchlist *  - list of recent changes to watched pages (logged-in users only)
 * diff page - shows the difference between two edits
 * Recent changes - list of all recent edits
 * Wikipedia IRC channels - real time list of all edits
 * Related changes - list of recent changes to pages linked to the page you edited
 * List of new pages: shows the edit summary of the creation.

 *  Use the enhanced watchlist to see all recent changes in the watched pages, not just the last change in each page.
