Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Flag carrier does not have an edit summary.&#32;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
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Jetstreamer $Talk$ 15:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

"bypass redirect" - no need
Hi. I noticed one of your "bypass redirect" edits to one of the pages I watch, and then looked at several of your other edits that have similar summaries.

Please be aware that Wikipedia actually discourages "fixing" links to redirects that are not broken -- see WP:NOTBROKEN: There is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles. Some editors are tempted, upon finding a link to a redirect page, to bypass the redirect and point the link directly at the target page. While there are a limited number of cases where this is beneficial, there is otherwise no good reason to pipe links solely to avoid redirects. Doing so is generally an unhelpful, time-wasting exercise that can actually be detrimental. It is almost never helpful to replace with. (emphasis added - jeh)

Such edits do not improve the reader's experience. But they clutter the article edit history unnecessarily, and they make extra work for other editors (since nearly every edit that anyone makes will normally be examined by several other editors; then they make check the original editor's edit history; etc.).

I appreciate that you are trying to improve the encyclopedia, but please know that this activity is actively discouraged, for valid reasons. Jeh (talk) 18:37, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
