Traffic light

Hi. In the UK, towns are "granted" city status - an area of just a few hundred people can be granted city status if it's important enough yet an area of a few hundred thousand can still be merely a town if it hasn't been granted city status. Despite it's large population, Wolverhampton only officially became a city in 2000.

This should explain it better than I have! City status in the United Kingdom --Geach (talk) 22:54, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Geach, thank you for your quick reply. I'm thinking the usage in the article should be changed to "community" as others are likely to see the change, look up the population numbers, and also think that it was too big to be called a town and attempt to change it back to "city" again. Additionally, something probably belongs in the article's talk page to explain this change.  Etamni | ✉  23:11, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi there! 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)

I noticed your recent edit to HAWK beacon does not have an edit summary. 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. Thanks! Kendall-K1 (talk) 04:24, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kendall-K1, thank you for your concern. I hope you are paying attention to page notices, such as the one that appeared when you added this section to my talk page. In the case of the edit you are referring to, it was inadvertent that I hit the save button before adding the edit summary. If you had looked at a larger collection of my edits, you would have realized that I rarely make an edit without summarizing it somehow, and except for vandalism reverts, I rarely fail to add even more info to the talk page.

Edit: For clarification, I also rarely add edit summaries when editing pages in my userspace or adding to talk pages, since the changes to both are self-explanatory. Etamni | ✉  

Moral Panic

I am not sure I am sending you a message correctly, but after reading the talk page on the moral panic section, it seems that there is community consensus that not only the sources are bad, but the topic in itself is questionable. I believe asserting this as fact in wikipedia is incorrect, however I want to go about this in the right way.
