Edit Summaries
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Using detailed edit summaries is the best way to ensure that your good faith edits are not reverted by recent changes patrollers or other wikieditors. Thanks and happy editing! —  Spike Toronto  05:02, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

November 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:46, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. —  Spike Toronto  04:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Bass Anglers Sportsman Society. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. If you think that the information is a hoax or some sort of vandalism, then either (1) be bold and simply remove it from the article with an explanation in your edit summary, or (2) open a discussion on the article’s talk page. —  Spike Toronto  04:55, 26 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, in this case it would have been better if you had just simply deleted the hoax material. That would have been helpful. You can do that, you know. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:57, 26 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You brought something back to my attention that I meant to deal with a few days ago, but couldn't because I was at work. I saw it while I was researching about BASS for an article I was writing on a local pro angler (Randall Tharp), but I couldn't delete the offending part myself because of a bug on my computer there. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:11, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
