Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to College Football Playoff National Championship 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!

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

Please explain your contributions using a descriptive edit summary. Changing information on Wikipedia (such as numbers and dates) without explanation, as you did at College Football Playoff National Championship, may be confused with vandalism. Thank you.

Please discontinue adding unexplained asterisks to the above noted article. Thank you. Dmoore5556 (talk) 06:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Stop Adding asterisks to the CFPNC Page
You were clearly advised by Dmoore5556 above to stop doing it. Please see the talk section if you have any questions, it's fully explained:

Talk:College Football Playoff National Championship

The Houston Astros 2022 World Series win doesn't include any asterisks on the List of World Series champions page. Nor is there an asterisk next to Barry Bonds' name on the List of Major League Baseball career home run leaders. Because that is not how Wikipedia operates. These are factual pages used to note the specific event and/or milestone.

Additionally, the CFP isn't managed or sanctioned by NCAA. And Michigan hasn't been actioned by either, regardless. If the CFP committee decides to (for example) vacate Michigan's National Championship win, then it may be noted as the reason that the title was vacated.

Not only that, but you're not actually adding ANY context in the actual article for what the asterisks mean. An asterisk can mean anything. At best, you appear to be trolling.

If you don't stop edit-warring over this, We'll take it up with a Wikipedia admin. StrangeApparition2011 (talk) 13:39, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
