Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Fathers' rights movement. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 01:49, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to User talk:Binksternet, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Uncited edits, which definitely need references.

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Salt does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Trafford09 (talk) 15:54, 22 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello Trafford, yes I forgot to include that edit description, can this be done after the edit, or only when the edit is made?

Hi Gary. Thanks for getting back. Edit summaries would normally be supplied along with the edit. However, if you wish, you can later do a 'dummy edit' (add a new line somewhere, say) and, along with the second edit, supply the edit summary that explains the edit. However, I wouldn't bother on this occasion, as your edits have been looked over.

Better still, to avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, many editors (myself included) select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the Editing tab of our user preferences.

Hope this helps.

Btw, please read the 'Your recent edits' section above. Any questions? Trafford09 (talk) 23:02, 22 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the heads up on how to do that, basically resubmitting the same page and adding the edit description there. Unfortunately, every time I have made an edit, someone keeps erasing it, and putting back their version, it is very disrespectful and obnoxious. The information I posted is quite contributory, informative and with references. It will be an edit war for years.
