ExcuseMeNYC, please, if you want to erase information that was added to a page, include the reason why you are doing so. There is a rule called 3 revert rule, you can check it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:3RR#The_three-revert_rule Please come and express your opinion in the talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Princess_Marcella_Borghese Juliet55 (talk) 23:57, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please use edit summaries to explain why you delete text

Information icon Hello, I'm Bishonen. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Princess Marcella Borghese without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Bishonen | talk 01:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC).[reply]


I'm crossposting my response to your message on my page to make sure you see it

Hi, ExcuseMeNYC, and welcome to Wikipedia! You make reasonable points about the text, but please do look up the help page Help:Edit summary that I linked to in my message above. Edit summaries are used to inform other editors of the reason for an edit, and it's confusing to repeatedly remove material without an edit summary to say why you're removing it. Edit summaries for each edit will appear in the history of a page. I do understand that these Wikipedia terms and technicalities are difficult for new users, but if you take a look at the history of Princess Marcella Borghese here, you will see how that works, with the edit summaries of my edits and (mostly) also of Juliet's edits. Your edits only have the automatically generated section name and nothing about any reason. That's why I reverted you.

If the explanation for a removal is too complicated for the limited space of an edit summary, you can simply write "See Talk" there, and post an explanation on the article's talkpage, which will have the advantage of starting a discussion about it.

May I ask if you're related to the IPs 24.215.249.118 and 24.215.248.86, who edited the article to add the Georgette Mosbacher-related material?

Feel free reply to me either here or on my page, or (best) on the article's talkpage. Bishonen | talk 13:15, 26 May 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Hi again

Hi again. Thank you for posting on the article's talkpage; I've just found it. When you post on talkpages, please start a new section at the bottom of the page and please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. I'm afraid nobody will notice a post that just looks like a little extra text in an old section, with no signature or date. I've moved your post down and added your signature, and hopefully then you'll get a response to it. In fact I moved the whole section, on the assumption that the top half of it, added originally by an IP on 28 April, was also by you. If it wasn't, I suppose it doesn't do any harm to have them together. Bishonen | talk 19:10, 26 May 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Please don’t blank discussions from talk pages. Even though they may seem to be tedious, they are useful in helping future editors to see what has been through the mill before. Thanks. Ian Spackman (talk) 03:57, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is not useful to future editors as this information is not even relevant to this article. Period. ExcuseMeNYC (talk) 04:04, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
