Accurate edit summaries

[edit]

Hi. Removing maintenance tags, as you did here does not constitute an "IMPROVEMENT TO PAGE", neither does it as here "UPDATE INFO". You may address the problems in the templates or, if you disagree, remove them with a valid explanation, but you may not abuse maintenance templates with a misleading edit summary. This can be regarded as a form of vandalism under our policies. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:09, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I do apologise, I did not purposely do any changes on either of these pages, I have a bad keyboard and these were not by any means intentional.Simongad 19:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

Alexandre De Lusignan Fan-Moniz

[edit]

Please sort out the confusion in the 'External links, of the Alexandre De Lusignan Fan-Moniz article. This is English Wikipedia - please provide links and inline citations that lead to at least translations of Portuguese pages that might show the notability of the subject. I have cleaned up this un-cited one sentence 'article' to leave it as disinterested as can be.

And, please do not remove the tag headings without good reasoning on this page Acabashi (talk) 19:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC) thank you for your assistance on this matter as I om new to this "article" creating. If you would please be so kind as to advise what you mean by inline citations and links that may be more suitable I shall endevour to find them with pleasure.Simongad 19:39, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please look here: Wikipedia:Inline citation, and here: Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. One simple way of adding a citation is to add [ ... ] at the end of the sentence or words that require proof, including the squared brackets, then add the web page address where the three dots are. But make sure the page that is linked has evidence that supports any claim that you make. Be careful linking to blogs, forums and youtube - these can be vary unreliable sources, and might be challenged. Acabashi (talk) 20:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
