Happy editing!

I also have noticed that your edits to Alcohol (drug) often did not use an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks!

Thank you for your work so far, and I hope to see you around the encyclopedia! EducatedRedneck (talk) 11:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit marking

Thank you for contributions to various articles ont he topics of psychology and psychiatry. Please keep in mind, however, that edits should only be marked as minor when they are correcting obvious vandalism or a typographical error, regardless of the number of words altered. When edits are marked as minor, they generally do not appear in the watchlist for others to review. Kind regards, Димитрий Улянов Иванов (talk) 11:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, that is my bad. I did know this but must have not been paying close enough attention. Thanks for your comment. I also did not know about the watchlist so that’s good to know. Slothwizard (talk) 18:31, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help?

Thanks for your work on Addiction and related articles. Would you be willing to lend a hand with a little project? Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine is trying to get at least one ref into every medicine-related article. The list is getting shorter, but we've still got a bit more than 100 to go, and the Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/November 2024 ends in just less than a week. If you could add a source to even one or two of them, it would really help us out. Here's how to help:

Pick an article from the list. Most of them are organizations, people, or other subjects that do not require any specialized medical knowledge.
Find at least one reliable source and add it to the article.
Remove or update any maintenance tags at the top of the article.
Edit the list to mark off the item or leave some notes about it so the next person will know that this one is done. (Try editing the page in the visual editor, because it's much easier for tables.)
That's all!

Also, if you ever need help with medicine-related articles, please feel free to put Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine on your watchlist, and to join the discussion whenever you'd like. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Standard Notice: Syrian Civil War

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Syrian Civil War and ISIL. Due to past disruption in this topic area, the community has authorised uninvolved administrators to impose contentious topics restrictions—such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks—on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, expected standards of behaviour, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on these sanctions. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

As a note, per these community-authorized general sanctions, there is a one-revert rule in place for all articles related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, broadly construed. This means that an editor in this area may make no more than one revert per article per 24 hour period, unless an obvious exception applies. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 21:28, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
