Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Aikido. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Sudo Ghost 06:33, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, really.

Please stop and use the article's talk page before changing the neutral gender of each use of "their" in the Aikido article without explanation in any form or fashion. If you do not, your edits will be reverted. Thank you. - Sudo Ghost 06:46, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
