  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing →   Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for informing me, I will make a point of including edit summaries to explain changes to the encyclopedia. NormalStatisticalAnomaly (talk) 21:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:Jane Helwig

  Hello, NormalStatisticalAnomaly. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jane Helwig, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:09, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Hi NormalStatisticalAnomaly. Thank you for your work on The Mascot (book). Another editor, Mwwv, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

While I don't think the overview needs to be cited, I feel like with the amount of content the sources have it would be for the best to cite it.

@Mwwv, I just came across this while checking up on the AP suggestion at WP:PERM - just fyi, the overview of a book in a book article generally doesn't need footnotes, as the source of the information is self-evidently the book itself. For some books this can get tricky, but it doesn't look like this is one of them. -- asilvering (talk) 03:58, 7 June 2025 (UTC)Reply
Ah alright, I'll be sure to keep that in mind for my future patrols. mwwv converseedits 04:01, 7 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Autopatrolled granted

edit
 

Hi NormalStatisticalAnomaly, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! asilvering (talk) 03:59, 7 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Thank you User:Asilvering! I'll make sure to edit responsibly and maintain a high standard for page creation. NormalStatisticalAnomaly (talk) 21:44, 8 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

DYK for Frank Page (politician)

edit

On 4 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Frank Page (politician), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Frank Page's sons stole his corpse after he died, leaving their stepmother to bury an empty casket? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Frank Page (politician). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Frank Page (politician)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
