Edit summaries

Hello. 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)

Please be 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.

Edit summary content is visible in:

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

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!R9tgokunks ✡ 01:02, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Ontario

Hi. The correct transcription of Ontario is /ɒnˈtɛərioʊ/. Transcriptions linking to Help:IPA/English are diaphonemic, which means that they accomodate multiple varieties of English at once. In UK for instance, the name would never be pronounced with /æ/, only /ɛə/. Kbb2 (ex. Mr KEBAB) (talk) 20:57, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kitsai language, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Labiovelar consonant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:05, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Phonological tables

Please stop messing around with the phonological tables. If you want to add other information on the phonology, that is fine, but please just leave the tables alone. They were fine the way they were before with sourced information. Fdom5997 (talk) 00:27, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Add: Things would be easier if you left an edit summary (this has been explained before!), so we can consider the rationale of your edits. Even if an edit is correct, the burden lies on you to show why it is correct, either by providing sources, or by specifying which source has been cited incorrectly in the previous version. –Austronesier (talk) 08:32, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

December 2020

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to European colonization of the Americas. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 04:28, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at European colonization of the Americas, you may be blocked from editing. Elizium23 (talk) 04:44, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello thank you for your message. I apologize for the mistake, it is not my intention to add personal analysis. May I ask which part(s) are being misinterpreted as personal commentary? I am happy to rephrase my edit, but I rephrased two of the first three paragraphs and I believe the bulk of what I added was factual, not subjective commentary. I apologize if this is not the correct way to reply to these messages, I am still rather new to interacting with other users on wikipedia. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Yesid.

Firstly, please make an effort to indent and sign your talk page messages. Thank you. The lede section of an article is there to summarize and distill the body of the article as an overview for readers. It is not the place for a biased rendering of history with words such as "plunder" and "environmental racism". Wikipedia has a policy on neutrality in articles. Please familiarize yourself with it. Elizium23 (talk) 04:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello thank you again for your response. I do not know what you mean by "make an effort to indent and sign your talk page messages" I apologize and thank you for your patience. I understand wikipedia's policy on neutrality and I am happy to rephrase my sentence. "The European colonization of the Americas typically refers to the time period following the voyages of Christopher Columbus in 1492—centuries after the first wave of Europeans colonization in the Americas—during which various western European empires began their plunder of the human and natural resources of the Americas" is what I originally had—how does this sound instead? "The European colonization of the Americas typically refers to the time period following the voyages of Christopher Columbus in 1492—centuries after the first wave of European colonization in the Americas—during which various western European empires began to explore and claim the natural resources and human capital of the Americas"

As for the phrase "environmental racism"—I did not include that phrase in my edit. In the sentence "This time period is marked by intense conflict stemming from the doctrine of discovery, as well as by the establishment of settler-colonial states such as Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, and the United States which have extracted the natural resources of the existing indigenous nations into the 21st century" I linked to the Wikipedia article on environmental racism because there are sections in that article that describe various policies and their effects on the indigenous people of the Americas that are relevant to the discussion of the extraction of natural resources that has taken place since the start of colonization—and the article includes 21st century examples, which is what the linking text referenced. Apologies, is this inappropriate? And is there anything else that is objectionable? Like I said I am happy to remove any point of view commentary—it is not at all my intention to violate wikipedia's neutrality policy—but I like to think I meaningfully contributed to wikipedia with my edit and would like to see at least some of the detail I added to those two paragraphs remain :-) Thank you again for your time and patience. Best regards, Yesid.
