Hi Martin! Welcome to The Citizendium; I am enjoying noticing your work on the [[Samsung]] article in particular, and I wanted to encourage you to place a descriptive comment in the optional "Summary:" box when editing a page, at least when making major changes. This helps others when they look at the history of the article, to understand what you did, or maybe why. Once an article gets a longer history, these comments are extremely helpful, and they are also nice when the wiki emails people who have that page on their Watchlist. They will see the comment in the email and probably won't need to click on the article to understand what kind of work is going on. So, it's the sociable thing to do. When making trivial changes such as punctuation or spelling, it is okay to click the "Minor edit" box so the change will not tend to show up in Recent Changes or article history. Thanks for working in here![[User:Pat Palmer|Pat Palmer]] ([[User talk:Pat Palmer|talk]]) 16:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC) | Hi Martin!

welcome, and a note about describing changes for history
Hi Martin! Welcome to The Citizendium; I am enjoying noticing your work on the Samsung article in particular, and I wanted to encourage you to place a descriptive comment in the optional "Summary:" box when editing a page, at least when making major changes. This helps others when they look at the history of the article, to understand what you did, or maybe why. Once an article gets a longer history, these comments are extremely helpful, and they are also nice when the wiki emails people who have that page on their Watchlist. They will see the comment in the email and probably won't need to click on the article to understand what kind of work is going on. So, it's the sociable thing to do. When making trivial changes such as punctuation or spelling, it is okay to click the "Minor edit" box so the change will not tend to show up in Recent Changes or article history.
