 Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that in this edit to American march music, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 22:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Your edits seem to have been well intended. In fact, you explained some of your earlier edits, as well. Please understand that reviewers see a single edit and, although they should check to see if there is a series of edits which hand together, this requires some extra reviewing which is almost never worthwhile. If you had used edit summaries for each edit and perhaps referred to edits as part of a series, I could have checked your series. As it was, all I saw was removal of a significant amount of content with your last edit and no explanation. The result should not be that you cease productive editing, but to use edit summaries, to be sure you do not remove sourced content (only improve it as you note was your intent or explain the removal) and to follow other Wikipedia guidelines, including using talk pages for extended explanations, and so note in the edit summary (see talk page, for instance).
