25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Hoodoo Mountain ↗ did not have an edit summary ↗. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary ↗, or by discussion on the Talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief ↗.

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{Edit summary field/OOUI}}

or in the visual editor:
{{Edit summary field/VisualEditor}}

'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' When logged in to your Wikipedia account ↗, you can give yourself a reminder by setting {{myprefs|3|check={{int:tog-forceeditsummary}}}}, and then click the "{{int:saveprefs}}" button.

Now, Now



Hi @Pats322, I temporarily reverted the edit ↗ you made on the :Now, Now ↗ page, for the following reasons:<br />
On a procedural level, you overhauled the entire article without bothering to provide an explanation, which is typically done by adding an edit summary ↗. Doing so reduces your chances of having your edits reverted and of being suspected of bad faith, even vandalism, as it lets other users know what your intentions are for changing content in an article.<br />
More substantively, while I can see that you've added a number of references to the page, which was (and currently is) in dire need of them, you also removed all subsections, turning the body of the article into quite an ugly mess, compared to the way it looked before, warts and all.<br />
Anyway, I encourage you to restore your edit but to do so in a manner that doesn't remove valuable components of the page, i.e., subsections and any other stylistic features you may have previously removed. Once you have done this, I will go ahead and perform a copy edit of your work, and collaboratively, we can work toward improving the article. Cheers! Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 04:47, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics


{{ivmbox | image = Commons-emblem-notice.svg |imagesize=50px | bg = #E5F8FF | text = You have recently edited a page related to '''articles about living or recently deceased people ↗, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles''', a topic designated as '''''contentious ↗'''''. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and <em>does <strong>not</strong> imply that there are any issues with your editing</em>.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as ''contentious topics''. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee ↗. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia's norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators ↗ have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit <strong>carefully and constructively</strong>, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

<p>Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics ''procedures'', you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard ↗ or you may learn more about this contentious topic here ↗. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{tl|Ctopics/aware}} template. </p>}}<!-- Derived from Template:Contentious topics/alert/first --> —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 21:36, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Please don't delete encyclopaedic content.

The edit, creating a redirect, essentially removed a lot of information from the encyclopaedia. That content is not at the target of the redirect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Encana&curid=62918229&diff=1343283786&oldid=1308323290

There is maybe an argument for merging, but the Encana article, before you removed it, had history since 1971 that you deleted.

I am about to revert your edit. &#126;2026-15973-89 ↗ (talk) 21:39, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Pats322 (talk) 00:03, 14 March 2026 (UTC)The "history" from 1971 is for another company that merged to form Encana. There is a separate article for that company. None of the important information was deleted...only the info that is off-topic.

Please use edit summaries, and please check before removing reference tags



This has been asked of you before, but with your edit to Christopher Ryan (aviation executive) ↗ you rather illustrated why this important: from first glance you were vandalising the page, since you removed the references tag, introduced the alternative reflist tag instead, didn't check the results, made a mess of all the citations and ref names, and introduced a spelling mistake into a section heading. Now in reality I think thie was just careless lack of attention, but without an edit summary, not mentioning WP:ATODAY ↗, it becomes rather easy to assume the worst. Please use edit summaries, it really is in your best interest and it helps other editors to see what you were trying to do. And please preview your work before wrecking a page's layout.

:You added the Ryanair UK Flightconnections reference also to the infobox of Ryanair Holdings. But I cannot see that any of the 2 Flightconnections references source anything in the infobox.
:The Flightconnections references cannot be used for the number of destinations in the infobox. The 223 destinations served with the IATA code "FR" cannot summed up with the 79 destinations of Ryanair UK. Because certain airports like London Stansted are in both numbers.
