February 2023

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Library 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! CityOfSilver 20:32, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Date variations

Hi, I wanted to draw your attention to WP:DATEVAR. When an article consistently uses one method for dates, please don't change dates to a different form. For example, in articles that use ddmmyy, don't change individual dates to mmddyy, as you did in SI base unit. Cheers! Schazjmd (talk) 22:05, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

my sincere apologies. I will surely make sure it won't happen again. Thanks for guidance. 5'OclockLemonade (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

Not a problem; there are a lot of style guidelines and it can take quite awhile to get up to speed on them. That's why I pointed it out, so you'd know for future articles.

While I'm here again, I want to talk about your edits. Some of your rewrites have been good (I even thanked you for one that was a clear improvement). But a lot of them are no better than what was there before, and some have been worse. Please don't rewrite sentences just for the sake of change. Don't feel like you have to change every word when all that's really needed is a different word order. You change a lot of words for no reason that I can see other than to make them different, and many of your "synonym" changes alter the substance of the sentence.

I don't want to discourage you from editing, you're doing some good work. Just, slow down on thesaurus-inspired edits, okay? Schazjmd (talk) 22:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

got it :) 5'OclockLemonade (talk) 13:23, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Too many major changes to major articles without sources

You are changing multiple major articles every few minutes with no explanation and no sources. Slow down. You need to explain your goal on the talk page first, and tell us what sources you are using. You made all these changes in a matter of 12 minutes:
