What was the point of this edit?

[edit]

What did you intend by this edit?

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edits you made did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit and/or to describe what it changes. 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.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

or in the visual editor:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Describe what you changed

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences โ†’ Editing โ†’ Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! ๐•๐•„๐”ฝ (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, the text mentions the Taula de Ariza and cites a Guardian article as the source. In fact, the Guardian article does not mention it, but the source I changed it to does.
My summary was brief, but I thought it would be obvious to anyone checking the relevant citations. Samp10l (talk) 22:17, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edit summaries are a politeness to your fellow editors, briefly explaining why you made the change you did, so they don't need to check the relevant citations. Fixed reference tells us what you did but not why you did it. Switching citations without explanation rings alarm bells. ๐•๐•„๐”ฝ (talk) 22:55, 18 October 2025 (UTC) Edited to insert a clarification. --๐•๐•„๐”ฝ (talk) 22:59, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Is this better?

replaced irrelevant citation with a correct one

Yes, that was all it needed. Thank you. ๐•๐•„๐”ฝ (talk) 23:45, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
