edit summary when editing an article on wikipedia there is a small field labelled 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 when you leave the edit summary blank some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted so please always briefly summarize your edits especially when you are making subtle but important changes like changing dates or numbers thank you i do when i'm doing anything more than grammar the only exception to this would be on clan fraser of lovat of which i'm the only editor at present and i didn't think to add edit summaries otherwise i believe that i have done so if you have any particular situations in which i have failed to do so i'd be happy to explain myself i'd much appreciate it see it for yourself green bars are for edit summaries red bars are for edits with no summaries that's quite a nifty tool there i'm fully aware of edit summaries i don't provide edit summaries on my own talk page or my user page i also don't usually provide them on other users' talk pages in earlier editing i didn't take the summary seriously if you're referring to anything from several months ago or more i do apologize like i said if you have any particular situations where you believe i missed one please bring them up to me i would sincerely like to know otherwise i don't see what you're trying to accomplish here i think the link speaks for itself as for what i'm trying to accomplish i think my original comment explained just that if you were trying to just helpfully remind me i thank you though i don't think it was needed i saw the page it didn't say anything to me except that i finally know my edit count if you really want to get a point across to me i suggest you do so blatantly if your original comment explained your motives then we are done here your nonsense page if you are interested in archiving your old talk you may want to review wikipedia how to archive a talk page accusing other editors of defacing your talk page for politely reminding you of wikipedia policies against personal attacks does not demonstrate good faith on your part and will only make you look bad i suggest you move the archive to a more appropriate name like user talk canaen archive furthermore making negative comments about discussion by other editors and claiming that their edits are not worth reading shows that you aren't interested in abiding by wp npa wp civ nor wp eq if you want to improve your working relationship with other editors it might help to avoid incivility i'm not interested in archiving my old talk as of yet but thank you for the suggestion i use nonsense in a lot of ways other people do not because i find a lot of other words to be boring at present likewise instead of cool or awesome or that's interesting i'm currently in the habit of referring to things as nifty it's something i do i know how to archive a talk page i've done it before i still do not consider suggesting ignorance to be a personal attack because i've grown up in a rather intellectual atmosphere i'm not going to change just because a few people are offended at my words i thought that this was resolved by now i have quite decent relationships with other working editors it seems that a particular user and myself simply do not get along it is regretful but something which seems to be if someone takes offence to my creation of a nonsense page they can bring it up to me personally as you
