Undue haste! Tsk
Hi Dan100, how dare you make this rapid-response edit when it's only been queried for more than six years?! Honestly, with a bit of love and care we might have nursed it to a decade or more and then we could have baked it a cake and had a nice tea party! Tsk, you young people and your haste! :) Best wishes DBaK (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:51, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Lion Air Flight 386 listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Lion Air Flight 386. Since you had some involvement with the Lion Air Flight 386 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Jc86035 (talk) 16:28, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Removing refs with dead links
Regarding this edit, we don't remove refs that have dead links. Please read WP:LINKROT for an explanation why that is. In this case it was easy to repair the ref with archive.org. - Ahunt (talk) 13:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often 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. Thanks! Eric talk 15:31, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Oxford University Gliding Club


The article Oxford University Gliding Club has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "does not appear to meet our notability requirements, as supported by RSs"

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --2603:7000:2143:8500:1544:2C08:6338:A34A (talk) 18:50, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Unexplained revert
Hi Dan, I was just curious as to why you removed a sentence here. I know it was unsourced, and I would add a reference if I am able to find one. However, it's also a somewhat minor point and not really needed. I addition, it's anachronistic, as LM didn't exist in 1982, and I would have found the correct company before restoring it. Thanks.

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! Danners430 (talk) 08:16, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Dan100, I notice that almost all of your edits still either lack an edit summary, or they are completely unhelpful (“m”, “Edits” etc.) Edit summaries exist to allow other Wikipedians to quickly and easily identify what was changed on an article - please try to use meaningful edit summaries wherever possible. Danners430 (talk) 09:27, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Eric talk 13:18, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Dan does use edit summaries when necessary, such as here (Deconfuse), which is obvious when you look at the diff. "Edit" obviously means "copyedit", and "m" minor. Editing on a mobile device may account for the terseness. Do y'all have any examples of major unexplained edits that aren't obvious? BilCat (talk) 15:31, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * One of the reasons for using a summary is to help other editors decide whether to take the time to look at a diff. Not everyone can take the time to look at every single diff of every edit that pops up on his or her watchlist. It's one thing if the watcher knows the editor's history, reputation, inclinations, etc, but that is of course not always the case. 17:22, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * A major edit would likely be one that involves a change in the hundreds or thousands of bytes. If it is just zero, or several bytes, it's likely minor. Taken with "Edit" or "m", one can assume it's a minor edit. I'm not trying to defend Dan, as he is capable of doing that well enough himself. I'm simply pointing out it's not all that difficult to realize what's a genuinely minor edit from one's watchlist or a recent changes list. If Dan is making major edits without any edit summary, that would be another matter. Is he? BilCat (talk) 19:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I got distracted from the thread I started! I agree that this is not an issue with missing edit summaries - but instead summaries which simply consist of "Edit" or "m"... the entire point of an edit summary is to summarise the edits that you've made to assist other editors. There is no way at all to discern what has been changed if the edit summary is nothing more than "Edit". Danners430 (talk) 23:04, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * @BilCat@Danners430@Eric no change yet. Doug Weller  talk 19:42, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Again, as long as the edits in question are genuinely minor copyedits, I don't see a problem. Take it to one of the noticeboards if you're really concerned about it, but I think you'd be wasting your time. BilCat (talk) 21:21, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Here's an example: Removal of a "More citations needed" maintenance template with no edit summary. It's a short article with only two sections, one of which has no sources and the other is well sourced. So I'm left guessing, but I imagine he thinks we don't need to tag the article when only one section is a problem. But then why didn't he just tag the section? I have no idea. GA-RT-22 (talk) 00:06, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I’m beginning to wonder if @Dan100 even looks at their talk page… because there have been no responses whatsoever from them. Certainly that falls under poor communication. Danners430 (talk) 12:07, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Centrifugal Compressor edit apr2023
hello Dan, The material you removed was not from a textbook and contributes to the article. Other revisions have distorted the flow of explanation. It is a remnant from linking pictures to paragraphs. I would like to reinstall this material with the few corrections needed. Is this okay with you. Mkoronowski (talk) 16:46, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
