Hi PerfectionisticOCD! I noticed that you recently made an edit at Simon Russell Beale and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. On Wikipedia, "minor edit" refers only to superficial edits that could never be disputed, such as fixing typos or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not minor, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. BlueboyLINY (talk) 18:02, 23 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Ian McKellen on screen and stage 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:

or in the visual editor:

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 Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! lp0 on fire () 13:49, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hey PerfectionisticOCD. I am joining my voice to those of @User:lp0 on fire and @User:BlueboyLINY to request that you provide edit summaries for any edits you make other than very minor edits. The edit you recently made on Mother Jones (magazine) (that edit here) is nowhere close to minor. Since you've been asked before but are still struggling in this area, do you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns about that that you'd like to share?

Hey Novellasyes. I suppose I am still struggling with the pretentious idea of self-importance that one may feel when given freedom and attention of this kind. I will, however, do my best to leave informative and helpful summaries for my edits in the future. I sincerely apologise for my sullenness and express my deepest gratitude for your support!
