Comment added in Magna Carta

I've removed the comment that you added in Magna Carta:

* ]<!-- This article like so many others has been Hacked! -->

Richard de Argentan is a redlink article, most likely because no one has created it yet, not because it's been hacked. I don't think your comment is useful, and in any case a comment like that should go on the talk page instead of in the article itself. Strawberry4Ever (talk) 12:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Bot source criticisms from "freeloading" are not helpful either. I remain anonymous because of nerds who never consider the possibility that i have weighed up all the pros and cons of writing what has happened. They always assume they know everything! So please consider the possibility that Talk is useless if you are going delete happy! Please do NOT contact me again.

July 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Softlavender (talk) 07:38, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk pages

Pvqnp940a, you can't forbid everybody from contacting you; Misplaced Pages is a collaborative venture and communication is fundamental to that. And you must use edit summaries. If you are not interested in abiding by Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines, I'm afraid your time here will be limited. All of your claims of vandalism etc. have nothing to do with edit summaries. Please provide edit summaries before you are reported to administrators. Thank you. Please also learn to sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) Softlavender (talk) 15:59, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

I do not need to be bullied by you. I was editing Wiki 15 years ago when it first arrived on the scene. Secondly, YOU did not invent the rules. thirdly, I have edited Summaries, and invented much of the structure additions through my inputs over many years through brainstorming with others. Fourthly, i have also used tildes before. Fifthly, PLEASE DO NOT BULLY ME ONLINE. I have asked you politely not to interfere where you are ignorant. Please abide by Misplaced Pages's Courtesy Code, and be polite by respecting the wishes of others older and more experienced than you. Thank you.
