Please preview, consolidate, and summarize
[edit]Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:
- Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
- The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
- Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).
In addition, please do not leave long edit summaries such as your last one at Patrick O'Brian; use the discussion page instead. Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 02:58, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 10
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Deterrence theory, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CSIS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
