Image on List of sundown towns in the United States
[edit]Hello, I want to thank you for your contribution to a page I created: List of sundown towns in the United States. The image you added to the top of the page is helpful, but I noticed that it has been nominated for deletion (by yourself) since September with the deletion rationale stating that you intend to upload a revised version of it. In the time since, I have curated and expanded on the list article to the degree that all municipalities in that list now have descriptions and reliable sources. Would it be safe to say that now is a good time to upload your revised image of the map? — Paper Luigi T • C 05:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for informing me, I have uploaded an updated map. Mason7512 (talk) 16:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit summary usage
[edit]
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Sdkb talk 16:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Mason7512: I, too, have noticed you have been editing without providing an edit summary, such as this edit to Talk:November 2024 Amsterdam attacks, where you asked for a photo of the game or the riot. As the article already has a photo of the location, I very nearly removed this request, until I realised it was for an additional photo of the event itself. If you do not explain your edits, accurately, there is a risk the purpose of your edits will be misunderstood and removed due to a lack of understanding by other editors. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 19:53, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Apologies, I thought simply putting "the game or the riot" in |of= would suffice, but I now see how that is limited. Thank you for pointing this out to me, it had never occurred to me; I will utilize edit summaries for such edits in the future. Mason7512 (talk) 20:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Earlier, I had removed a different photo request because the article already had a photo, and I thought my edit was being reverted, so I went looking for the new request, to understand why it had "reappeared". Without an edit summary, I could not search for a key word, so I had to step through each edit to find the change you made. Other editors might not have the patience to do this and just revert an unexplained or poorly explained edit if it cannot be identified easily. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 21:07, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
