Varieties of English[edit]

Hello there. I just wanted to make sure that you are aware of WP:ENGVAR, which is our policy on English spelling differences. I undid some of your changes along those lines – we really would not use AmE spellings in an article about Baron Whoever of Wherever, any more than I would go to Chevrolet articles and "correct" the spellings to "tyres"! ENGVAR is well worth a look and helps avoid pain in editing life – I hope you find it useful. With all good wishes. DBaK (talk) 08:57, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Barren Jack Creek Water Supply Dam, reordering citations[edit]

While it might seem aesthetically pleasing to reorder citations so they appear in number order eg [3][4] rather than [4][3], it breaks the relationship between text and citation (which the person who originally added it knows and other people generally don't). See WP:INTEGRITY. As the person who drafted that article, the citation to the NSW State Heritage Register should always appear last as it is citation for the whole paragraph and not merely part of it. Because there is no way to represent the extent of a citation (that text which it supports) in Wikipedia, you generally cannot know why someone else cited in the place or order that they did, but it is meaningful and should be left alone as the policy states. This is not an easy thing to explain so if you don't understand it, don't worry, the simple message is don't reorder citations. 10:18, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Links[edit]

Hello, just to let you know that your links added here were unfortunately both wrong. I've reverted them for you, and I'm just telling you in the hope that it helps you to check when adding. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 11:36, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020[edit]

Hello. 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 Trello 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. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Robinhood (company), please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. No need to make so many intermediate edits. Also, please use the edit summaries. GreaterPonce665 ^(TALK) 04:40, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
