When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

I noticed that you made a number of edits to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that, for the most part, were reverted. I suggest that you use the edit summary each time, and that before you make a major edit, you discuss the issue on the talk page. The page has been vandalized quite often recently, and so any changes by a new editor without any discussion (or edit summary) are sometimes assumed to be vandalism.

Don't get discouraged with the reverts. (My first edit was a lot longer and got hacked mercilessly. ;^)  Start a conversation on the talk page and explain what you were trying to do. You might be able to convince others that your changes are constructive, or you may decide the article is fine as it stands.

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia. wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 04:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
