Edit summaries
Hi Julius, this was a good edit. However, it took me some time to verify what your edit exactly was about. It would have been much easier if you had provided an edit summary, like, for instance, "replaced ; with .", or "semicolon => period", "semicolons are no-no", or "let's avoid semicolons". So would you please consider using edit summaries for your edits? Thanks a bunch, and keep up the good work. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 20:02, 24 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, but where do you enter these summaries? I'm relatively new, so I was not aware of this. Thanks! Julius4567 (talk) 20:49, 24 April 2010 (UTC)


 * There is a field immediately below the edit window. When you edit a section of an article, the section header is already present in the box, between markers "/*" and "*/". The idea is that you write a short text describing the edit immediately behind this. If you started editing the article from the top, then the summary field is empty, and you can just write it from scratch. For a full overview, have a look at Help:Edit summary. Good luck.
