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. Thank you. - 220 of ^Borg 05:28, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

"NVG Card"

Please stop changing "PlayStation Vita card" to "NVG card" in PS Vita games-related articles. As far as I know, "NVG Card" is just a provisional name for the physical media, while "PlayStation Vita card" is an official name for it in accordance to the official PS Vita user manual - in this case, leave the official name as it is. Thank you. Hounder4 (Talk) 20:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page EE. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation do's and don'ts, you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, which should not end with punctuation
• Use only one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry, and avoid red links
• Do not pipe links—keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links

Thank you. Widefox (talk) 07:27, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Undiscussed moves

I disagree with your moves of article titles which containing "Kiev" to "Kyiv". Since your controversial moves cannot be undone by regular users, I've reported you to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Mass undiscussed moves by user:MAXXX-309 from Kiev to Kyiv. You may leave the message there to defend for your actions. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 15:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Just to inform you one thing on this issue. There is the case which Wikipedia changes the name usage based on foreign official name change. This exception is the Chinese name of Seoul, South Korea's capital, from "Han-cheng" to "Shou-er" since 2005. The name change has been accepted by most native Chinese language countries, which means most Chinese language source will start using the new name in place of the old one. As such, Chinese Wikipedia has accepted to apply the new name in our articles unless for historical usage. Simply put, if native English language source from North America, UK and Australia (neither from Russia nor Ukraine) has globally accepted to use Kyiv over Kiev, we apply the change on English Wikipedia as well. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 16:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the information! I hope this will happen soon. -- MAXXX-309 (talk) 16:25, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Europe's last dictatorship listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Europe's last dictatorship. Since you had some involvement with the Europe's last dictatorship redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). — Yerpo ^Eh? 12:10, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to United Kingdom does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks!  –

Disambiguation link notification for February 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited B-Boy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page B Boy (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

TVi as we knew it...

seems to have died! It appears that TVi had a change of management. The new owners have stated "in September we plan a full restart for the new season and begin to fight for the ratings" this will mean that the section "Programming" in the article (of which you seem to be the main contributor) will soon be outdated (it it is not so already...). Feel free to update or delete this section (please delete it now if it has become outdated (I do not watch much Ukrainian TV as I can only watch it true the internet (a.k.a. "streaming")) so I am not up-to-date on the programing of TVi). And thanks for your previous work on the article. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 23:01, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 10:01, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
