Please provide a summary when editing

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

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, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Providing an edit summary helps prove you aren't a vandal or spammer. Most vandals and spammers skip the summary. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1973(song)

A tag has been placed on 1973(song), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Lost!

While the song has received radio airplay, you can't speculate that it'll be the band's next single. You need reliable sources, not speculation, as the basis for creating a new Wiki article. --Madchester (talk) 15:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing WP:CRYSTAL, I've re-directed "Lost!" to the album article for the time being. Unless there are concrete sources indicating that it's an actual single, we can't create a new article solely on speculation. I noticed that you previously jumped to conclusions as well with "1973", so I recommend that you review WP:CRYSTAL to see how we deal with speculative/future topics. Thanks. --Madchester (talk) 15:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you.

If the song gains notability (for example as a single), then the article should be re-created. Until then, you additions are based on speculation, and it violates WP:CRYSTAL --Madchester (talk) 19:18, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Lovers in Japan

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Lovers in Japan, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Inshalla

Can you provide a verifiable reference that Eskimo Joe's fourth album is going to be titled Inshalla. The references provided only confirm a new album will be released in June. Also is questionable whether the first single is "Foreign Land" or in fact "Summarize". Dan arndt (talk) 00:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Can't Stop Feeling

A tag has been placed on Can't Stop Feeling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.
