Frame dragging
[edit]I have reverted your edit to Frame dragging partly because you lost the general relativity template but also because you do not seem to be aware of MOS:CAP. Wikipedia only uses capitals for proper names. I would also advise you to be a bit more cautious marking edits as minor. This should be reserved only for typo corrections etc. Anything that could even conceivably be objected to, even copyediting, should not be marked minor. Hope this is helpful to you.

Edit summaries
[edit]Please take a moment to review WP:EDITSUMMARY, which explains the purpose of edit summaries and what they should contain, particularly "Edit summaries should accurately and succinctly summarize the nature of the edit". Basically, a pattern of edit summaries that say "The devil's in the details" conveys nothing about what you've done, why you've done it, or whether such edits are helpful or valid. If you are doing copy editing, say that. If you are adding references, say so. Otherwise, other editors may see your edits as unhelpful. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- I would agree with the above, it makes it hard to know if you're trying to do good with your edits. Alastairward (talk) 23:05, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Edgar Allan Poe
[edit]I know your recent edit was in good faith, but you might have noticed that you inserted many, many violations of the manual of style guidelines, particularly related to dates. For example, we never say "October 7th" and, in US-related articles, we do not write "7 October". Let me know if you need help with edits. --Midnightdreary (talk) 01:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
April 2010
[edit]
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Neuromancer. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. You have been asked previously to make your edit summaries more accurate. Now, I am asking you again. RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 14:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
edit summaries
[edit]It would help the rest of us if your edit summaries more clearly indicated what was done. Thanks. - Special-T (talk) 00:19, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Spoilers
[edit]I see you make a lot of edit summary comments about spoilers. Wikipedia does not care about avoiding spoilers, and you should not edit articles with any assumption that spoilers should be removed or reworded. They should not be. We used to put a warning at the top of the section, but it was decided long ago that since we are an encyclopedia, not a film site, we should give no consideration to whether or not spoilers are included. Thank you. Yworo (talk) 20:20, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Yeah, I tend to avoid trying to edit down long plot sections myself. I tag them with {{plot}} and let somebody like you do it. Though I do tend to stick around a while to revert the folks in love with the long plot section. Yworo (talk) 02:28, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 10
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Delphine Chanéac, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hybrid (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

[edit]
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to The Warriors (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Aunva6 (talk) 02:52, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

[edit]All of your edits in July consist of unsourced plot modifications, and most shouldn't be in the article even in the unlikely event they are accurate and sourced.
