Hello, Ecofer. Thanks for your work on improving the Neon lighting article. Could you please remember to explain your additions to articles by including an "edit summary" when you make the changes? More importantly, your additions to the article don't come with references, and I'll delete them for this reason in a few days if these aren't added. This has become a fundamental principle in Wikipedia. Articles need to include references to secondary sources, which serve two purposes. One is "verification": can the facts included in an article be verified by a more reliable source than Wikipedia itself? In this case, you might also add your references and information to the image description at, which doesn't note that the artist was Ms. Thompkins. The second is "notability" - has the artist or work been written up somewhere other than Wikipedia? Wikipedia editors like you & me are not considered to be reliable sources of information, and our opinions are not considered as indicative of notability. Easchiff (talk) 08:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Working with Carter G. Woodson, the Father of Black History has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. ''Please take care to be accurate in you edit summaries. You wrote the you were "Added internal link for Lorenzo_Greene" when you meant that you were removing the redirect link & linking directly to the article. Also please take care in formatting & use the edit preview. You altered the text to  when you should have changed it to  .'' Peaceray (talk) 05:06, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
