  Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you recently removed content from Liz Truss 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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:01, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think it's pretty obvious why - she's resigned as PM. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes I know that now. However it wasn't exactly clear why they removed it (heck I can't even find where that would've been on the page). If they had originally stated they removed it because she resigned I would've left it alone. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:39, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed a recent edit you made does 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 your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a 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 to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! S0091 (talk) 20:53, 3 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm CorbieVreccan. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, McEwen baronets, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - CorbieVreccan 18:37, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

House seniority

edit

Thank you for updating the seniority rank in the footer templates, but it seems really inefficient to have to edit all 435 members (minus vacancies) one by one. This work would benefit from a template that can be updated once. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:42, 14 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

I very much agree but I do not have the authority to create such a template. Upton Liptrot (talk) 18:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
