Edit summaries
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary. –BMRR (talk) 18:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Unexplained deletion of content
Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of U.S. Class II railroads, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. –BMRR (talk) 18:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Corridor (Via Rail), you will be blocked from editing. C628 (talk) 02:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Commuter rail?
Hi there. I notice you've been changing a number of articles to describe the Acela Express and other Northeast Corridor services as "commuter" trains. Those trains don't really meet the definition of commuter rail and aren't described as such in most publications I've read. Why the change? Mackensen (talk) 22:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Along similar lines, in that it relates to your recent changes, I believe your descriptions of other passenger services connecting to a route are excessive, fir two reasons. Firstly, a train that only shares one station with another before going off in a completely different route, particularly at a major hub like New York Penn Station or New Haven Union Station, is not particularly notable. Also, as Wikipedia is not a travel guide, listing every possible connection in every route article is unneeded, and only serves to clutter the articles. Besides, the information is just a click away at the station articles.
 * Also, as a bit of friendly advice, using the preview function, or testing in your sandbox will reduce the number of small edits you need to make, allowing others to follow your edits more easily. oknazevad (talk) 15:36, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to MPI MPXpress. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. TheFeds 16:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Take it to the talkpage of the article, as you were instructed. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 17:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Vanessa Williams, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Colleges That Change Lives
It may not have been your intention, but your recent changes to Colleges That Change Lives to alter wikilinks to remove redirects are both unnecessary, and resulted in (to me at least) a less pleasing appearance. Please see WP:NOTBROKEN for indications as to when not to alter wikilinks. Jan 1 naD (talk • contrib) 14:24, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
