Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Don't Stand So Close to Me does not have an edit summary.Please make sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list and
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! SummerPhD (talk) 12:05, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

We have recurring vandals who seem to be obsessed with changing dates, times and other assorted numbers in articles such as Don't Stand So Close to Me. Upon examination -- requiring absurd amounts of work -- the changes turn out to be completely random. Basically, this leaves us with two choices: Absurd amounts of work to verify edits from someone who doesn't use edit summaries or cite sources or reverting the edits and demanding edit summaries and sources.

You are making a change without explanation or a source. I'm reverting it again. If you would like to restore your edit, please cite a source for the change and/or use an edit summary that explains where you got your times from. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 00:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

You may yet have to join us on the EVIL list, above... Pinkbeast (talk) 03:57, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I have reverted the founding date of Jehovah's Witnesses. No such claim can be made. But feel free to start a discussion if you have some reliable sources you'd like to raise. BlackCab (TALK) 21:21, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
