Disambiguation link notification for May 29
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rice flour, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Juk and Green rice. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

flagicons at National dish
Hey, Scudsvlad, thanks for finishing up that tedious task! I was just coming back to do a few more when I saw you'd finished up. FWIW, it's very helpful to other editors if you use edit summaries to explain your changes. (In this case you could have said something like "completing removal of inappropriate flagicons").

Edit summaries help other editors in multiple ways. They provide an explanation of your thinking in those cases where it isn't clear, such as at Special:Diff/1027459826. Because there's no edit summary, I can't know why you believed this edit to be helpful.

Edit summaries also help prevent other editors from having to spend time checking your work, and maybe having to ask about it when they don't understand, which means they can spend that time more productively. Many editors consider the edit summary to be just as important as the edit, and because of that you'll often see edit summaries that are actually longer than the edit was. For instance, if I correct a misspelling, I might change only a single letter in the article, but I'll put "typo" as the edit summary. There's more information at Help:Edit summary.

There's a setting you can enable at Preferences>Editing>Editor that will remind you to leave an edit summary if you neglect to. I keep it enabled. —valereee (talk) 11:46, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Perryprog. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hot pot without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Dalgona changes
Please propose your changes on the respective talk pages first; there are plenty of sources that say dalgona is a type of honeycomb toffee. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It isn't a toffee. It isn't honeycomb-shaped. --Scudsvlad (talk) 20:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of sources that describe it as such:, , etc. On the other hand, I guess there's no harm in forking a separate article for it. Food, especially food from Asian countries, is not an area of my expertise, so I'll let the community weigh in. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 20:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Beef Noodle Soup Page Edit
Before I escalate this issue, I want to extend my explanation why your edit has been reverted. I'm seeing a lot of your edits have been reverted in the past so please also consider reading how to build general consensus before you make any edits. Your particular comment "the edit is not disruptive; you don't need to reach consensus to edit a page" was particular worrisome and shows me that you do not know how Wikipedia community works. You are the one who changed the current consensus on the Beef noodle soup article. The onus is on you as to why you're making those edits. Please also review Consensus. Secondly, what are the reasons why you're making these unconstructive edits? The only thing that you did was to categorize all the types of beef noodle soup in "East Asia", and then putting Taiwan under "Greater China" (which is a very rarely used term). By putting Taiwan under Greater China you're also marginalizing its importance. There are really two types of Beef Noodle Soup, Taiwanese vs Lanzhou, the rest of the East Asian variants aren't really commonly known as "beef noodle soup", and arguably, shouldn't even be included. That being said, you didn't add any new content, didn't add any citation, didn't add anything substantial except organized the article in a controversial way. Please explain your edits and why they are essential and why you're not trying to engage in talk page and repeatedly vandalizing the existing consensus. Thank you.Kazuha1029 (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. oknazevad (talk) 21:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
