  Hello, I'm Felida97. An edit you recently made to List of urban rail systems in Australia seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi there. Can you please tell me what mistake I made?
That would be great thanks. Talmagetheslave (talk) 13:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to List of urban rail systems in Australia, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you would like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to List of urban rail systems in Australia, you may be blocked from editing. Materialscientist (talk) 13:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Look. I'm just trying to edit a article filled with false info. If you don't want me to do it then edit it yourself. Talmagetheslave (talk) 13:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages.

Edit summaries

edit

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made 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:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. This is especially because you have made upwards of 37 edits in a row on some articles. Fork99 (talk) 23:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Manual of Style

Please read MOS:SECTIONCAPS for an explanation of why you should not, generally speaking, use title case in article section headers. Although other editors including @Fork99 have already reverted some of your changes, it would be helpful to go back and rectify your own edits to the articles you have worked on recently.

More generally, in light of the above messages on your talk page, I’d encourage you to slow down take note of how your edits are being perceived by other editors. Using nonsense edit summaries as you did here in response to a polite request to use them is WP:IDHT behaviour, and carrying on in this way won’t help you contribute to the encyclopedia.
