What are dummy edits good for?

A dummy edit is a slight change in an article's wikitext that has no effect on the rendered page but allows you to save a useful edit summary. This is like a SMS (Short Message Service).

To make a "dummy edit" just make a slight non-rendering change to the page, fill out the edit summary with your short message including this tag: ] (include the four square brackets), and save your change. (Note that a null edit does not modify the wikitext and does not allow you to leave an edit summary.)

Uses for dummy edits:

Correcting a previous edit summary
Repairing insufficient attribution for copy-and-pasted Misplaced Pages content
Addressing an accidental use of rollback
Providing a note, from a user while logged-in, that notes an edit performed while logged out
Sending brief messages regarding editing issues
Providing proof of activity from time to time by a dormant but not dead user
Prompting a bot to re-examine a page

TomKat

Hello As you have made comments of the discussion page of the TomKat article, it would be greatly appreciated if you would contribute to the debate on it's Articles for Deletion page. Thanks! http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TomKat

User talk:PCPP

This user whose block you extended is currently requesting unblocking (or I think actually a reduction back to the original block). Any comment would be appreciated. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:53, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Luna. Go ahead and take a look... In my view the user has busted the line set in the ArbCom case. If you see that it would be best to reduce, please do so. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 21:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for Roleplay Online

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Roleplay Online. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Banaticus (talk) 07:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiJob

Thanks for re-instating WikiJob article page! ..the www.wikijob.co.uk link seems to still be blacklisted - could this be removed?86.0.221.59 (talk) 12:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Final steps on Category for For Discussion/Deletion People who have been considered avatars

Hi Jossi: Can you have a look http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_August_4#People_who_have_been_considered_avatars here?] I started the discussion recommending deletion, but I believe the consensus has gone against this, instead looking for rename to 'People considered avatars by their followers'. I'm new to this action, and I believe an admin must do final steps like closing the discussion and handling the rename. If my understanding is right, could you please do the honors. If I have misread and it's up to me, can you please let me know. Thanks --nemonoman (talk) 12:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

hello Nemonoman. Don't worry, there are many admins that monitor the Categories for Deletion pages, and one will eventually come alomg to close it. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

consensus

can I get more specific feedback on what you objected to in this edit here to wp:consensus? the second paragraph is a bit radical, maybe, but the first seems to just to be a necessary clarification of what was there (I mean, it seemed odd to me to have an article on consensus that doesn't actually define what consensus is). I'm happy to take it up on the talk page, or make a new revision if it's simple enough, but either way I need a clearer idea of what your seeing that I'm not. --Ludwigs2 21:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

This discussion is best to be had at WT:CONSENSUS ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 22:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

okie dokie. :-) --Ludwigs2 23:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

edit

Please check the discussion about this tag, there is support for it, wikipedia is not POV. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 15:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

About half of those people I contacted were random peer review volunteers, the others were random users that were editing political articles. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 15:26, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

You have been edit warring on Barack Obama related articles. Warnings have been placed in your talk page. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 15:27, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Just a formal note that you're close to being blocked as well based on 3RR. If you actually feel that the other edit is disruption then request page protection. Wizardman 16:24, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Closed to being blocked by thwarting an obvious disruption? I know the rules, Wizarman... Check that user's contrib list, and the possible SP account following through≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:25, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

FYI, an article as highly trafficked as Barack Obama, and in particular today, should be monitored closely for disruption and not fully protected. That is what I have done. Any issues? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't disagree with your edit. I'm just saying, edit-warring is edit-warring. Granted, I'm sure you do know that, this message was admittedly more bureaucratic than anything else. I don't plan to block anyone since I'd rather not get involved in the matter. Wizardman 16:29, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

I was not "involved" until I intervened. I am filing a SSP report on these users. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:31, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Underoath

Jerry teps asked that page be unprotected. You had protected it on Aug. 18, for 10 days. Since it was going to expire anyways, I decided to unprotect it early, as it was a simple semi-protect to stop IP vandalism. Hope you don't mind, Maxim (☎) 14:20, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

No problems. Thanks for the heads-up. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 14:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Political positions of Sarah Palin

Why did you make this page redirect to Sarah Palin. It contains considerable information not found on that page and the consensus is clearly against a merger? --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:01, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

It is duplicated info. To do a spinoff article, see WP:SUMMARY ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 22:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
