Edit summaries

Howdy, regarding your recent edits to International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, I'd like to ask you to use edit summaries. Your edits here and here are lacking such summaries. Please be sure your edit summaries accurately describe what you are doing. If you are doing a full rewrite of content, make a note of that in the summary. You can read WP:EDITSUMMARY for a guide as to why it is considered good practice to use them. —— nixeagle 13:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
