  1. Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'."
  2. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

    Edit summary text box

    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.

  3. Dates involving day and month should always be linked, so that users' preferences can take effect. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:46, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you have contributed to the article Multiple personality controversy, you may wish to know that it has been suggested that the article be merged into Dissociative identity disorder. For the sake of objectivity, I have not checked to see what your personal contribution to the article was it is best to notify interested parties regardless of whichever position, if any, they might take. See discussion at Talk:Multiple_personality_controversy#Request_for_comment:_suggested_merge_between_Multiple_personality_controversy_and_Dissociative_identity_disorder Doczilla 21:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of James Wickstrom

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article James Wickstrom, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rtphokie (talk) 01:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
