Hey there LizFL, I hope you saw my comment on the IDoJ talk page. I really liked the way you dealt with the paragraph we've all been having a hard time with. I do have one request, though - do you think you could use the "Show Preview" button on the bottom of the edit page? It's hard for me to follow your additions to the discussion seeing five edits in ten minutes or so. I personally find it really helpful for refining my comments over a period of time. Thanks! ~ Amory ( user • talk • contribs) 23:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled " Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

Hi. I do not know why you removed Jeri Ryan's name from List of stage names. You have not provided any reason or indicated that the information regarding her real name is incorrect. This edit was unconstructive and has been reverted. Please do not remove the name again unless you can prove the information is inaccurate. Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 00:59, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- It was her legal, married name (she was married to investment banker Jack Ryan). It's not a "stage name" per se. LizFL ( talk) 01:04, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough, but it not only "was" her legal, married name, it is also the name she has chosen to maintain post-divorce from Mr. Ryan, the would be Senator whose scandals we all read about, thus it is her professional name also now. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 01:08, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
- What constitutes a "stage name", then? It was not something she created (a la Pee Wee Herman). Where do we draw the line? Would not Jeri Ryan be a shortened version of her legal name (the name on her driver's license) and hence, impermissible under this category? LizFL ( talk) 01:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
I see your point. Do you happen to know what she was christened? (I doubt it was "Jeri".) Also her surname by birth is Zimmermann, but I only know that she publicly is still known as "Ryan", but I can have no idea what her legal name is, post-divorce. Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 15:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)- I've been thinking you may have a good point. If you want to rv Ryan's name I won't dispute it. Try to leave edit summaries though so your edits are viewed as being in good faith. I checked Ryan's IMDb profile, and she began her career as "Jeri Lynn Ryan" in 1991, the same year she married. I wonder what name she would have used, if not her real surname, which is kind of lengthy, if she had started acting before 1991. We may never know.

Hi. When you recently edited List of tenors in non-classical music, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael McDonald ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved.

Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! Guy Macon ( talk) 07:02, 17 March 2013 (UTC) Hi Liz, I've provided refs for your contributions to List of British words not widely used in the United States but it would be helpful if you could do this yourself, otherwise the material could be removed. I know the article is overwhelmingly unsourced (something I hope to get round to eventually, after I've completed the same task at List of American words not widely used in the United Kingdom) but it would help if you could get the article moving in the right direction with refs for your contributions. All the best. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 23:35, 4 July 2013 (UTC) Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
