== Using phony edit summary ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello. Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Willsome429|your contributions]] to [[Wikipedia:About|Wikipedia]]. I noticed that a recent edit of yours to the page [[:Oregon High School (Wisconsin)]] has an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an [[Help:Page history|article's history]], so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use [[Wikipedia:Sandbox|the sandbox]] to make test edits. '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Oregon_High_School_(Wisconsin)&curid=14059667&diff=779583258&oldid=779582106 This edit] was ''not'' a revert. It added a source, which had been requested by my previous edit; added a wikilink; and changed the wording.'''<!-- Template:uw-wrongsummary --> [[Special:Contributions/32.218.152.130|32.218.152.130]] ([[User talk:32.218.152.130|talk]]) 19:39, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Fox Crossing, Wisconsin

Many thanks for starting the Fox Crossing, Wisconsin article-RFD (talk) 15:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. I had heard about it on the local news and figured that I might as well do it since it was not created a day after incorporation.Willsome429 (talk) 18:46, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Sentence case

Keep in mind that Wikipedia uses sentence case, for everything including page titles, section titles, and subsection titles. For example, on the Matt Frahm page, the "Racing Career" section should be typed as "Racing career," the "Early Years" section as "Early years," etc. The exception is proper nouns such as "Xfinity Series." This one is correct. Lizard (talk) 02:38, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Road America 180 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — JJMC89(T·C) 23:47, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
