Edit summaries

[edit]

Please make sure you use an WP:EDITSUMMARY - your removal of text at Port Colden, New Jersey currently looks a bit like WP:VANDALISM. Why are you removing it? Mechanical digger (talk) 11:34, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The previous information typed about Port Colden...does not reflect any of the documented history about the area...it is not an "unsafe recovering town" it is a small hamlet of old homes and an elementary school a good one, I might add, that exist on what was once a pot on the historic Morris canal....I was simply trying to provide accurate historical information from the towns official web site ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Washlady (talkcontribs) 11:55, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Washlady, it's fantastic that you want to improve the article, but I'm sure you can understand that alarm bells start ringing when editors remove text without an edit summary as there is no explanation for your actions, it just looks like you're deleting information. It's good that you want to improve the article, but be careful not to copy information from the town's website, see WP:COPYVIO for more information. I will keep this page on my watchlist so I can reply here if you need any help. Failing a response from me, use {{helpme}} next to your question, which will draw the attention of a helpful editor. Happy editing! Bigger digger (talk) 12:27, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
