CS1 error on Vivian Trimble
[edit]
Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Vivian Trimble, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A generic name error. References show this error when author or editor name parameters use placeholder names, or the name of the newspaper or organisation, instead of the source's actual author or editor name. If no human author is given, the fields should be removed. (Fix | Ask for help). Below are the references causing this error:
- X; Email (2023-04-07). "Vivian Trimble, founding member of Luscious Jackson, dies at 59". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved 2026-10-18.
{{cite web}}:|last2=has generic name (help)
- X; Email (2023-04-07). "Vivian Trimble, founding member of Luscious Jackson, dies at 59". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved 2026-10-18.
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 21:24, 18 October 2026 (UTC)
Edit summaries
[edit]
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to migraine did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit or to describe what it 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:
or in the visual editor:
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. If you are logged in to your account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Editor → 
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.
Thanks!

[edit] Hello, I'm Strongshorts. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Richard Etchberger, but you didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation, your edit is archived in the page history. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Strongshorts (talk) 11:15, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
