Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Bbb23 (talk) 19:52, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jim Parker (composer), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. No mention of long illness in the reference. Tacyarg (talk) 22:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for re-adding with a ref. Tacyarg (talk) 16:42, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jill Viner, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You changed her name to Jillian, but none of the references use that. Tacyarg (talk) 16:32, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Lucy Letby
Your recent editing history at Lucy Letby shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

BLP edits
Hi, I have noticed that you have been reverting edits which, in line with WP:BLPNAME, have deleted people's names from the article, and with no explanatory edit summary. The most recent incident is here.

Please respect the WP:BLP policy which says When material about living persons has been deleted on good-faith BLP objections, any editor wishing to add, restore, or undelete it must ensure it complies with Wikipedia's content policies. If it is to be restored without significant change, consensus must be obtained first, and do not add names which have previously been removed as this contravenes WP:BLPRESTORE and may lead to you being blocked. If you have an issue with that, please start a discussion on the article's talkpage.

PS, please read Help:Edit summary too, and help others by using edit summaries for each edit. -- DeFacto (talk). 15:36, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
