Don't forget edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
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. NickelShoe (Talk) 15:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi mate. Actually I've heard the one about "Are 'Friends' Electric?" being two songs as well and can probably find a citation for it, however that sort of detail belongs in the song article, not the band article, so I think you did the right thing removing it from Tubeway Army in any case... Cheers, Ian Rose 13:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ah right, cheers for that Ian. But you're right, it does belong in song article. Cheers JD554 14:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear JD554! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been more new thing going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in August, there's been great changes. Read on to find out! Maxim(talk) This just in:
New recognized content By Maxim Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]
There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.
Did You Know? By Maxim
Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:
Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion. |

Hi Mate, Thanks for wikifying a few dates for me! Just a quick general question - if a date has already been wikified, then should it appear again in the same article? I'm referring to the 'History' section (last two sentences in the first paragraph), which I recently modified with more precise information. You wikified the year '1920' twice? Cheers! JuicyOnes 07:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Did I? Oops - that was unintentional. Generally, there should only be one wikilink for something per article. But obviously as more edits are added you will get new ones cropping up. Also, it may depend on the length of sections as you may find wikilinks more than once in an article if they're in different (and long) sections. Cheers --JD554 09:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Thanks for noting the change move above, and for updating some links, notably Timeline of Sheffield history. Just so we're singing from the same hymn-sheet, I just want to clarify what articles you think also need to change. I think that articles such as Sheffield Steelers such state that the club play at Sheffield Arena and Sheffield City Trust should say that it owns Sheffield Arena, but where event have taken place under the old name, such as The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour or Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour ought to stick with Hallam FM Arena, as it was called when the events took place. Do you agree, and if not, do you have an alternative suggestion? L.J.Skinnerwot|I did 17:07, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Jack Dryburgh
Hello JD, Panthers history has Jack as playing 7 games for us in 1956 and 1959. Panthers history is a very useful website if there's anything regarding the Panthers in any article you're doing that needs clarifying, failing that I can also get in touch with the author of two books about our history.

Nottingham Panthers - 1946 or 1980?
Hello there JD. On the Elite Ice Hockey League page the year of Nottingham's formation was changed to 1980. I reverted it back to 1946 but it has since been changed back to 1980. It is a bit of an ambiguous subject so rather than start a mini edit war I thought it would be best if we tried to build a bit of consensus. I've left my reasons for having 1946 as the foundation year on the talk page and asked the user who changed the year to 1980 to join in. As a regular contributor to British ice hockey related topics your thoughts on the subject would be very welcome. PanthersGirl 16:28, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
You reverted my edit on the above article with the summary "It is for sports. See List of British flags#Northern Ireland". 1. Not for all sports 2. There is no agreement to use the flag and it is very contentious 3. The link to the "List of British flags clearly shows the Ulster Banner is not the flag of Northern Ireland so I am somewhat baffled why you gave that link.
Can you please explain with rationale as I would rather clear this up then get into a futile edit war. regards--Vintagekits (talk) 10:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Vintagetiks, my rationale for using the Northern Ireland Banner on the Irish Ice Hockey League is because of what is said in the link I gave you:
- "Northern Ireland does not currently have a de jure National flag[1] other than the Union Flag - the former Government of Northern Ireland banner, the Ulster Banner, is still in use by international sporting organisations, (eg FIFA [1], UEFA [2], and the Commonwealth Games [3])"
- Those last three references clearly show the banner being used for sports. -- JD554 (talk) 10:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Whilst I agree that the Ulster Banner is used in some sporting context, those context are very limited - international football (noting that the IFA dont use it) and the Commonwealth Games. However, I was not aware that the Irish Ice Hockey League use it. If they dont then I dont think we should use it on this case, if they do then we should use it to denote the league but not the country. Would you agree?--Vintagekits (talk) 12:44, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- That seems reasonable to me. However, a quick look at their website doesn't seem to indicate that they use any flag. Should the tricolour be removed as well? -- JD554 (talk) 13:00, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- The Ulster Banner is only used in certain sports for Northern Ireland, not all sports and even in those its only used when they compete as a national team, this will explain Use in sport of flags in Northern Ireland.--Padraig (talk) 11:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- (I'll keep my replies here now it's a three-way discussion) I'm not sure that link you've provided answers the question on which flag to use for ice hockey. Ice hockey wasn't one of the 15 sports questioned and 5 of those 15 sports said they used the Northern Ireland/Ulster flag. FWIW I have no strong feeling on this issue either way, but a consensus should be reached. Perhaps this discussion should take place on the Irish Ice Hockey Association talk page for that purpose? -- JD554 (talk) 11:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Heres your answer they use the Tricolour when playing at international level representing Ireland.--Padraig (talk) 16:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Panthers-Steelers Rivalry
Isn't it nice to have a Steelers fan's talk page include so much about the Panthers? ;-)
One of the suggestions made by Oldelpaso in his peer review of the Panthers article is a section about the Panthers-Steelers rivalry. It's certainly worth some thought but I'm not entirely sure of how best to do it. I have an idea of how the rivalry started but it would be very difficult to put in as there aren't a lot of sources about it and I don't want to just start listing off major games and events between the two as I don't think that would make for very good reading or necessarily explain the rivalry. Any thoughts? PanthersGirl (talk) 12:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- I would say the rivalry goes back to the previous season. Alex Dampier left us during 1992-93 while we in the Premier League and you were in the First Division. That summer he signed Selmar Odelein, Chris Kelland and another young lad who's name I don't recall from us which didn't go down to well at our end (as it says on the Steelers article, there was a lot of resentment towards the Steelers from pretty much everyone). There were a few feisty games during the 1993-94 season which ended with you beating us 8-0 in the playoff semi final (though you lost 12-1 to Cardiff the following day ;-)). There was then the title race the following season and regular meetings in semi finals and finals throughout the rest of the 90s. Mike Blaisdell walking out on us to go to you guys in October 1999 didn't help matters either. That's pretty much my interpretation of it, I'm just not entirely sure how to put that into a section. PanthersGirl (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for looking it up. I've doubled checked the Panthers books I own and a few yearbooks and nothing has really got anything useful. I've had a look at a few FA sports team articles and very few have a detailed section regarding rivalry and where there is it's not very long. I've also looked a few pages about rivalries and some are a horrible mess which I don't really want. I still have one or two things that need doing but I think I'm going to go for FA status with what's there already. It's something that can certainly be added in the future though. PanthersGirl (talk) 12:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi there, JD554. Just to let you know, redirects like this don't get discussed at MfD. Instead, they should be discussed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, which specializes in considering redirects (hence the name). Don't sweat about not knowing this; it's not as busy as most deletion processes. If you move it over there, this is a case where it will probably get deleted - I think your deletion rationale is strong enough, it's just in the wrong place. Thanks. — Gavia immer (talk) 15:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Starbucks external link
I see you've deleted my recent addition to the Starbucks wiki, citing it as spam. I can assure you that the resource linked to is independent research carried out by the UK Design Council, a not-for-profit government organisation that aims to raise awareness of design. It does not seek to sell any products or promote any particular agenda apart from the resources themselves. This research provides excellent insight in to the Starbucks design process and I thought it would be a useful resource for Wikipedia users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Designcouncil (talk • contribs) 11:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Whether your organisation is not for profit or for profit is not relevant. Please read Wikipedia is not a tool for self-promotion. --JD554 (talk) 11:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:External_links#Advertising_and_conflicts_of_interest is also worth a read--JD554 (talk) 11:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
While my only intention was to allow more people to access this research, I can understand your comments on self-promotion and neutrality. I appreciate the link, and will endeavor to raise advocacy on this content through the individual discussion boards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Designcouncil (talk • contribs) 11:46, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Margaret Smith-Court
I posted a comment about the edit on the talk page. Please check the talk page before auto-reverting edits. TYVM. Benkenobi18 (talk) 21:30, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- I did check the talk page. What you mentioned on there was about Jankovic[4]. What you removed from the article itself was about her views on homosexuality.[5]. The two don't appear to be related.--JD554 (talk) 21:34, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- The section reads like an editorial, not a biography on Smith-Court. The Jankovic quote is not pertinent, and the article reads much better without the POV section. Benkenobi18 (talk) 21:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- What you keep removing is nothing to do with Jankovic, it is a section of Smith-Court's views regarding homosexuality. It is well cited and should remain.--JD554 (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Removed prod from B4180.
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from B4180, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. I have nominated the article for deletion instead; the debate may be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B4180, which overrides the need for a {{prod}} tag. I have explained my reasons for doing this in my nomination. Thanks!
I removed the tag because the creator of the article clearly contests the deletion, but I support the deletion which is why I've begun the AfD process. -- Atamachat 23:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
