Hello, I'm TechnoSquirrel69. I noticed that you recently removed content from Harrison, Arkansas without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:38, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TechnoSquirrel69, I attempted to explain the edits in the limited space provided. I felt that the edits would make the article feel disjointed if they were separate and would be less likely to be accepted. I not only removed/changed some information but also contributed information as well. Is there a place I could explain my edits more thoroughly without the character limit or should I make separate edits? E2522 (talk) 17:57, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey E2522, I'd recommend that you do actually separate your changes among multiple distinct edits, rather than making a whole bunch of changes and then publishing them. It'll be easier for other editors to parse what you're doing if they're in bite-sized chunks, and in the case that some of your changes have to be reverted — like I had to — it's easier to undo only part of your changes instead of erasing your entire contribution. It'll also help you manage the length of your edit summaries, which are normally only a sentence or less. If you feel that you'd like to explain your edits in more detail, you can always leave a message on the article's talk page and then tell editors to refer to that message in your edit summary. Let me know if you have any other questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:05, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
