Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited Chevelle (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

The edit summary appears in black italics in the following places:

Page history - list of changes to the page you edited
User contributions - list of all your edits
Watchlist* - list of recent changes to watched pages (logged-in users only)
diff page - shows the difference between two edits
Recent changes - list of all recent edits
Wikipedia IRC channels - real time list of all edits
Related changes - list of recent changes to pages linked to the page you edited
List of new pages: shows the edit summary of the creation.

* Use the enhanced watchlist to see all recent changes in the watched pages, not just the last change in each page.

Just a friendly tip

Hey, I saw your comments on the 10 Years talk page, and I thought I'd let you in on a little secret: {{unsigned}}. If someone leaves a message on a talk page and doesn't sign it, take down who it was and when they did it from the history page, and stick {{unsigned|username|time and date}} at the end of their comment, and it will show up like this: —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Akrabbim (talk • contribs) 22:13, 27 July, 2007 (UTC).

Also, if someone edits your message, don't be afraid to use the guidelines on WP:WARN, and contact an admin if needed. This way, you can do these things instead of yelling at them to no avail. So, hope I helped! —Akrabbim^talk 02:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Bullet for My Valentine

When you want to add the unsigned template, just add this: {{unsigned|The username or I.P. address of who's comment you are signing}}

And, btw, I don't have any opinion on Bullet for My Valentine's genre. Funeral 01:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Queens of the Stone Age Taskforce

I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed taskforce Queens of the Stone Age|Queens of the Stone Age. There's alot of Queens of the Stone Age-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this taskforce can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this taskforce off the ground and a few Queens of the Stone Age pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 10:52, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
