Danica RoemDon't just start adding names - read the talk page. And don't violate MOS:GENDERID by changing the pronouns.

Please carefully read this information: The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to, any gender-related dispute or controversy and people associated with the same, all broadly construed, a topic which you have edited.

Your help desk questionDid you get your answer about the three photos in the Maine election article?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:18, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
Please stop changing "2010 census" to "2010 U.S. Census" at Urbandale, Iowa. The section clearly indicates that the figures contained within the section are from the "2010 United States Census". As well, Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline suggests that "The US Census should be the primary source of demographic data", so adding "U.S." to the section heading is unnecessary. Also, leaving the section heading "2010 census" supports a consistency with other city/town articles about US places. If you have an issue with the section headings, please discuss on the article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:00, 23 January 2018 (UTC) Adding “American” parameterHi, I’ve noticed that you’ve been adding the “Nationality” parameter on the infoboxes of many American politicians. I think this is unnecessary. Parameters like that should only be employed when specification is needed; that is, to safe space, we don’t need to reiterate that a US Senator born in the US is an American—that can be quite plainly gathered from simply reading the article. --Sunshineisles2 (talk) 19:56, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

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) 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: Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.
Page PreviewThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.
Seeking Talk Page FeedbackAs you have edited Illinois gubernatorial election, 2018 in the last month, I am seeking your feedback on my post Talk:Illinois gubernatorial election, 2018#Non Notable Endorsements. Your thoughts are appreciated--Mpen320 (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
February 2018Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Don't try to mislead people into thinking you were correcting grammar when that's not the case at all. Deceptive edit summaries are a bad practice.

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your sources. The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Boleyn (talk) 20:12, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
Your use of "CAPS"I have reverted your most recent edit to the George H. W. Bush article because you changed job titles that—according to MOS:JOBTITLES—should be in lower case to upper case. You have done this on several occasions in various articles, and it's not constructive – please, stop doing it. Drdpw (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2018 (UTC) List of Governors General of CanadaYou removed a maintenance template without explanation. Care to explain on the article's talk page. I didn't add the template, but someone did, so simply removing it is not appropriate. Sorry I deleted the image addition. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC) April 2018Hello.

Several paragraphs have no citations at all so the {{refimprove}} tag is quite appropriate, so I've reinstated it. ww2censor (talk) 21:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for May 7An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Weesp, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Utrecht railway station (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in List of Governors of Washington, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:51, 15 September 2018 (UTC) Can you stop capitalizing everything?What the heck is up with you insisting so many words should be unnecessarily capitalized? Why in the world do you think "class 1" and "class 3" need to be capitalized here when Classes of United States Senators correctly treats these as common nouns, not proper nouns? And in lots of articles you change instances of "senator" to "U.S. Senator" repeatedly - you know context clues make it pretty obvious we're talking about the United States here and this doesn't need to be duplicated at every mention; no one's confusing these statements with foreign senators or state senators. And still, unless you're referring to a specific person instead of the position itself, "senator" should not be capitalized. Please stop. Reywas92Talk 18:57, 18 September 2018 (UTC) There is no capital letter in Dan Sullivan (U.S. senator) because he is a senator, not a Senator. There was a recent discussion at Talk:Dan Sullivan (U.S. senator)#Requested move 8 September 2018 in case you missed it. I have no interest in whether the adjective should be "U.S." or "American" so I don't know why you brought those article titles up. This is a simple English grammar issue that does not "keep changing", not a wikiproject guideline, and it is quite easy to keep up. It is not necessary for every instance of "mayor", "governor", "senator", or "president" to be capitalized, even when used as "mayor of City", etc. or even as "former governor Name." These edits are not helping. Reywas92Talk 23:58, 18 September 2018 (UTC) And by the way, please use edit summaries!Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
