[edit]
Hello, I'm Flyer22 Reborn. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Asinus have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

[edit]Please acquaint yourself with Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. When you are reverted your next step is discussion. Simply reverting to your preferred version of the content is edit warring. Tiderolls 20:12, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
And please note that the plural of "bison" is "bison". It's a poor idea to insert a spelling error into the lead sentence of an article. Inserting it twice [1][2] is a really poor idea. RivertorchFIREWATER 02:28, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Re: Question about cows
[edit]Hello, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals). I'm not even the right person to ask; all I did was restore the protection on the page. Graham87 01:12, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
Shrimp
[edit]As a point of information, the Shrimp article should not have a {{taxobox}} because the term "shrimp" is not a taxonomic term. It is a term defined by common usage – see shrimp versus prawn. --Epipelagic (talk) 20:19, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
I removed the discussion you added. It is available here is you want to put it somewhere not on Wikipedia. See WP:NOTAFORUM to see the policy on why I have done this. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 07:45, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
Bison v. Bisons
[edit]When you make such a change, mention your reason and maybe a source in the wp:edit summary. Perhaps wikt:bisons. Wiktionary is convenient as a link works in the ES. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 06:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
There is already an article Vulture. So it would be difficult to implement your suggestion. Support your points with reliable sources which state such as others won't want to look for it themselves. If RS call them "Old World", then that is what Wikipedia should call them. See wp:article titles, specifically wp:commonname. Also, please remember to sign your talk with four tildes "~~~~"
Suggest using wp:notifications to keep discussions on one page. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 17:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Cuttlefish
[edit]Hello Gyrkin. Just a quick note to let you know I undid your last two edits at Talk:Cuttlefish because they indavertently refactored earlier comments and I saw no way to do a simple fix. If you'd like to restore your comments, please pleace them at the bottom of the thread, indent properly, and sign your post. See Help:Talk pages for guidance on using talk pages.

Marking edits as "minor"
[edit]Hi, Gyrkin. I noticed that some of your recent edits have been erroneously marked as minor edits. This feature should only be used when making simple, obvious changes, detailed at Help:Minor edit. Any addition or removal of content should not be marked as minor. – Rhinopias (talk) 23:43, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
- @Gyrkin: if you click on this text, it will bring you to a page that will tell you exactly when to mark and to not mark edits as minor. By marking edits as minor, you're telling other editors that the edit does not need to be reviewed in any way. Adding any content, such as this, this, this, and this should not have been marked as minor. Your edit here is appropriately marked as minor, but, in my opinion, is not a beneficial edit. Also, sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes after your message (~~~~). – Rhinopias (talk) 12:44, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
