Disruptive editing

I was going to add onto the template message I left you with the following text:

It looks like a majority (>50%) of your nearly 200k edits were performed with no summary, which is very surprising. I have rolled back the edits you made at the Dr. Phil page as I found some of them objectionable but had no idea why you performed them (e.g. the maintenance tag, removing use of his real name from his bio infobox, etc). The one edit that did have a summary was a large deletion of text with the entire summary being WP:NOTNEWS, but the actual text of WP:NOTNEWS doesn't explain the deleted text. When editing, please always take the time to explain, even if only briefly, what you are doing / why you are doing it. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, and it's difficult to collaborate without communication. Thank you.

But before I could finish writing that, you removed the message and reinstated your edits with the same issues (no summary again when you changed the infobox name to "Dr. Phil" - we don't use stage names in infoboxes, see Mehmet Oz or Judy Sheindlin) and again deleted a paragraph per WP:NOTNEWS. The policy WP:NOTNEWS is about how routine events aren't worthy of standalone articles, it doesn't really apply here.

While I half-expect you to delete this message too without a word, it would be appreciated if you at least used edit summaries to explain your edits and used the talk page to further discuss them if others disagree instead of reinstating unexplained edits again without explanation.
