Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to LHC@home does not have an edit summary. 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 diffs
• 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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! – voidxor 18:36, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

It didn't need explanation.

I don't know where you came up with telling me what "CERN" is since I changed the improper CSM to the proper CMS where I saw it twice.

And the only other change was the stats numbers for current members and total.

AND the reason I know what I am doing is this is my 17th year working at CERN so you don't need to tell me that CERN is in capitals since I know what the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire is and I am the one that runs the Alpha and Beta testing for the future use of the public.

If you know so much, then why are you changing it? You changed a lot more than just "the improper CSM". And working there is not does not give you carte blanche to change whatever you want on Wikipedia without accountability. This is a volunteer project where everybody has a say. Edit summaries would be a first, simple step to helping others to understand your logic, instead of just reverting other's explained edits. Thanks.

Also, I'm not "sending" you anything. Wikipedia simply shows a you a notification whenever another editor reverts or mentions you. These are automatic notifications, not emails. – voidxor 19:23, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

You are wrong no matter how many times you whine about not knowing what you are talking about and wasting my time again.

No matter how many times you whine the fact is you posted the wrong title to the project CMS and other than that I only updated the numbers.

ANYTHING else you claim just further proves you are a dim bulb. Magic Physicist (talk) 00:21, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
