Hello, I'm Ahecht. I noticed that in this edit to Seymour, Indiana, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Ahecht (TALK

Using Template:Please see

Hi Bedfordres. I believe you misunderstood something about my response to your Teahouse question with respect to using the {{Please see}} template. What I was suggesting you do is to first start a discussion about the changes you're proposing be made on Talk:Four-player chess, and then add a link to that discussion to the WikiProject Chess talk page using the "Please see" template. What you did is try to add a "Please see" link to your sandbox, but asking others to look at your user sandbox without providing any explanation about what you've changed and why is going to make it quite hard for them to assess whether such changes are actual improvements. Go to the article's talk page and click on "New section" at the top of the page. In the window that opens, select a title for your discussion and then briefly outline the changes you think should be made; there's no need for you to repost everything in your sandbox onto the article's talk page, but you should explain what you want to change and why. Somewhere in your post, add a link to your sandbox so that others can then look at the specific changes and assess them. Once you've done that, go to WT:CHESS, click on "New section" at the top of the page and then adding the syntax {{subst:Please see|Talk:Four-player chess#Discussion title}} in the editing window. The "Discussion title" should be the same thing you used for the article talk page. The "Please see" template is set up to automatically provide a section heading and add the signature of the user posting it; so, you don't need to add a separate heading or a separate signature at the end of your post. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:32, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Marchjuly Ok, I did that. Thanks for your help on everything. Wikipedia can be confusing! Bedfordres (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
