Edit summary

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)

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 differences
• 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. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Kolbasz (talk) 12:45, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to IIndman— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the 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.

What was your objection to my removal of unsourced fancruft and heavily promotional language? Wikishovel (talk) 08:38, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

My apology. Not sure what I did there. I restored your last edit. Thanks for the notice. BTW: try {{yo|Jim1138}}. You can add it to the start of your talk on the talk page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:43, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

That's OK. "Yo", heh heh, like that. Wikishovel (talk) 08:44, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Garry Kanfer

Hi, I have created page for Garry Kanfer, president of Big Drop Inc company. But you nominated it for speedy deletion for spam. I'm not sure why it loooks spammy, can you say what need to be edited, so this page will not be deleted. All links are sources of article.ArtemKiev (talk) 14:40, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Please read WP:Conflict of interest, and please don't write articles about your boss. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 14:44, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey.

Listen. You've been doing good work, and we appreciate that. But you're quite clearly not a novice.

I politely ask you to confirm whether you have had a previous Wikipedia account. DS (talk) 17:37, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you. Yes indeed I have edited here before. I won't bore you with the reason why I created this new account, but I am exceptionally careful never to use an account for sockpuppetry. If I've inadvertently broken any rule, I will cease immediately. Wikishovel (talk) 17:46, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

That's okay; thank you for answering so quickly. DS (talk) 18:45, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

Medicals International

Hi please can you let me know why you deleted my page? It is objective i can remove the subjective part if there is any. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joycejab (talk • contribs) 07:45, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't delete it, two administrators did. I did nominate it for deletion though, because the whole thing was written in a promotional tone, and needed a complete re-write. I would strongly recommend that you not write about your company on Wikipedia. If it's notable, someone else will eventually, and they'll probably find it easier to write about it from a WP:Neutral point of view. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 07:59, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

but i only mentioned what we do i didn't understand where i was subjective in the below paragraphe: "Medicals International is a regional distribution company headquartered in Lebanon and specialized in the marketing and sales of medical and optical supplies. It is present in 16 offices across the Middle East, North Africa, and East Mediterranean and cater to 16 regional markets in the fields of vision care, ophthalmology, dermatology and aesthetics, dentistry, and critical care." For the history paragraphe it was only dates and offices or the suppliers i only state them. the only part that may be subjective is the CSR part and i can remove it.Joycejab (talk) 08:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joycejab (talk • contribs) 08:15, 19 October 2016 (UTC) Joycejab (talk) 08:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
