Inacccurate edit summaries

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I've noticed several of your recent edit summaries do not correspond at all to the content of the edit. This edit did not involve references at all; this edit, while constructive, did not involve "Spelling/grammar/punctuation/typographical corrections", and neither this edit nor this edit qualify as a minor edits as they involve adding material or claims. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia - going forward, please ensure your edit summaries are accurate. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

Thank you - 4300streetcar (talk) 23:34, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:CSXT 9031 leads Autorack train.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CSXT 9031 leads Autorack train.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:08, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Added significantly more on an article

[edit]

I had significantly improved article GE Dash 8-44CW, grade (stub) did not change, is it enough text and that it is qualified as a start-class article?

Hi,
This matter requires no administrative action, so next time you can just request general (non-admin) help, or even just post a message on that article's talk page.
The rater tool is saying the article is probably now at 'C' grade. Although that said, it is almost entirely unreferenced, citing just a single source, once, which isn't enough to either support the article contents or to establish the subject's notability. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:28, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited GE Dash 8-44CW, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Co-Co. 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.)

Information icon Hello, I'm Patar knight. I noticed that you have been adding short descriptions to articles. However, the short descriptions you added are too long to be effective, such as at GE Dash 8-44CW. The guideline is that short descriptions should ideally be under 40 characters long, and no longer than needed. For more information, see the short description guidelines. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you. -- Patar knight - chat/contributions 02:16, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
