Edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. - 220 of ^Borg 03:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ian McKeever (mountaineer)

Not bad for a first article, just make sure you provide some references, especially for Biographies of living persons (BLP)! See my first article and Referencing for beginners for some guidance. Regards, 220 of ^Borg 03:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Ian McKeever (mountaineer)

On 25 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ian McKeever (mountaineer), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that mountaineer Ian McKeever climbed the 26 peaks of the island of Ireland in 98 hours? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ian McKeever (mountaineer). You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
