Edit Summaries

Please provide edit summaries when you edit. I've just reverted a whole series of edits in the article for Leverage and its accompanying episode article, largely because they have no edit summaries, and thereby there is not rationale for the changes. At times, it's not hard to figure out what your reasons are, but without justifying edits by using edit summaries, you open yourself up to being reverted solely because there is no summary. I scanned through your edit history, and you have yet to provide an edit summary for an edit you've made.

I've also reverted, again, your factually inaccurate edit stating Nate will be returned to prison if he fails to find Damien Moreau. It was quite clear in the first episode of the season, and has been stressed in interviews with the writers and producers since, that Nate will be imprisoned in Italy should he fail. The Italian's exact dialogue was: "You come stay in my prisoner room, thick walls a thousand years old. And we still use chains for such a bad man." She then goes on to explain the remainder of the team would be killed. Please be careful when you're editing that you're accurate, particularly after you're reverted for inaccuracy.

I've reverted your erroneous edit again. Please check your facts before editing, and provide edit summaries so other editors will know why you've made the edits you did! Drmargi (talk) 08:14, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Drmargi (talk) 09:00, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Your erroneous edit to List of Leverage episodes has been reverted yet again. I'm not sure what the problem is, but you have been shown, using dialogue from the show, that your edit is WRONG. Please do not persist in adding content that is WRONG. Drmargi (talk) 07:28, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
