  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Naz Shah. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

In addition to the above, please remember to 'complete' the edit-summary box at the base of the edit window before saving your changes. This is important so that other editors can quickly see what has been changed and why. It also forms part of the edit history of individual pages. Thank you.

i don't understand what you mean. Epson Salts (talk) 20:02, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

When using visual editor, (as most, if not all, of your edits seem to be) when you click save page, you should see a further window which asks you to save the page but also asks you to describe what you have changed. (It also gives you other options such as continuing to edit). The source editor (if you 'switch' from visual or click 'edit source') has a summary box at the base of the edit window. Please summarise what you have changed when editing. Please also sign your posts on talk-pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) which will produce a signature and timestamp. Thank you.

ok, thank you. Epson Salts (talk) 20:02, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

thanks for you help. can you also clarify what you wanted me to do in the first message you left me? Epson Salts (talk) 20:04, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

I assume you mean the one about the template removal. In this edit you removed the 'tags' placed there by another editor but did not resolve the issues described by them or leave an explanatory edit summary. There is nothing for you to do as the tags have been replaced but you should not remove maintenance tags without good reason or explanation. Also when replying to posts on talk-pages you can 'indent' replies (as I have done) by typing a colon (:) at the start of your post and then additional ones for subsequent posts.

but what are the issues? I didn't see any description of what needs to be fixed. Epson Salts (talk) 22:38, 14 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
The tags clearly say that neutrality is disputed and that undue emphasis may have been placed on certain issues. (See also the tagged sections within the article). It's not a page I would have much interest in, so I would suggest you read or join the discussions on the talk page or contact the editor who added the tags (this can be found in the page history).

  Hello, I'm Waggie. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Brock Turner seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Waggie (talk) 03:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
