Edit summary
Hi.

I refer to your recent edits of Australian Federal Police. Can you please remember to complete the "edit summary" field on all articles every time you do an edit. This should be a short description of what and-or why you have done the edit.

Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 15:20, 23 July 2017 (UTC)


 * . Please note all edits, even very minor ones, need an edit summary.   Aoziwe (talk) 12:47, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution
Hi. I see in a recent addition to Department of Home Affairs (Australia) you included material from a webpage that is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia license. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 19:53, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

Please explain?
You left no edit summary on this edit. (As I stated, a directive has been issued to say, for example, that the former DSTO is now DST, not DSTG.) Pdfpdf (talk) 10:33, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that Defence Science and Technology is still the DST Group as per their website?--[[User:Jacarandacounsel|Jacarandacounsel] 10:41, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I wish they'd make up their mind and stick to it! (e.g. Note that a little lower on the same page, under the heading "DST Group Leadership Team", they say The DST Leadership Team (DLT) is the primary executive management body in DST.) I think I'll give up before it starts bothering me. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:04, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Regarding other matters (unrelated to the above), thank you for your persistence and resilience. (I'm somewhat disappointed and rather embarassed to admit I gave up on most of them ... "a while ago". Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk)

Please use edit summaries
. Again.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

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
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks!

These are important for keeping track of what is happening to articles. Edits with no summaries may attract negative attention and get reverted.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Francis Greenslade, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 03:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

General "warm and fuzzy" posting
My my! You have been a very busy boy improving numerous assorted ADO articles. (From my POV), well done! I'm impressed. Thank you, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:27, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at In the loop shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. &#160;Cheers! Gareth&#160;Griffith&#8209;Jones ( The Welsh Buzzard ) 16:45, 26 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Greetings Gareth Griffith-Jones. Surely you are also guilty of being involved in an edit war? My understanding is that you have failed to give any rationale for removing the categories of Category:Films about the United Nations and Category:Works about diplomacy for In the Loop compared to my justifications of them being accurate for the film. Would love to hear your thoughts about why they are not worthy categories. Kindest regards - Jacarandacounsel (talk) 06:00, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hello Jacarandacounsel, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I see that there are a few mentions of this on your talk page already, but can I urge you to please write a few words as an edit summary each time you make a change? It is a helpful and time-saving device for other editors, and generally good practice. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 12:25, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

No Regerts moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, No Regerts, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your draft article, Draft:No Regerts


Hello, Jacarandacounsel. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "No Regerts".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 14:05, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
