 * thanks for letting me know. I'm going to reply. the reason I didn't give rationalizations to the 151 ip user for getting rid of his reversions is because he (falsely) believed that my usage of cite book was wrong and didn't discuss it with me before whole-sale deleting my hard work. which makes me sadface (and frustrated). maybe I should just explain in the future. I appreciated the help. Create a template (talk) 09:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Create a template", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is misleading, per WP:MISLEADNAME, and suggests your account is a template creation tool. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * I was wondering about that. Time to get a new username or account! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 00:21, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I came here to say the same - your username is a bit confusing. Tacyarg (talk) 10:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Names of prizes
If a book or author wins a prize we should use the name the prize had at that time, rather than its later name. I've corrected Constructing a Nervous System and reinstated the link to the official prize site, the most reliable source we have for anything and which you removed without explanation.

April 2024
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 19:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi and thank you for creating an awards section for Her Body and Other Parties. I would just like to co-sign this request to please use an edit summary, because a large addition to a page without explanation takes up time to check unnecessarily. Thanks for your consideration of other editors. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Also, please try to note the difference between "finalist", "shortlist", and "nominee" on literature pages. Different awards use different terminology.
