Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, your edit(s) to USS Bainbridge (CGN-25), had to be corrected. Please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.  'Also, please read WP:MARKUP and WP:INFOBOX before attempting to edit templates, including article infoboxes. Thank you. -  the WOLF ' child  12:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Charles F. Adams-class destroyer, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. - the WOLF  child  08:23, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to USS Reeves (DLG-24) 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
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! - the WOLF  child  08:28, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

User warning: Conflict of Interest
Hello, Pete the Postmaster. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article United States Postal Service, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. KDS4444 (talk) 19:50, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
